| New McIntosh MA252 I remember reading in the MA252 manual about giving the speaker terminal nut an extra quarter turn after snugging it up but I didn't want to force it, so I left it like that. If I were in your shoes and it bothered me that much, I'd contact McInto... | |

| For those of us over 60.. Off the top of my head, I'd have to say Cream, followed by some Crosby, Stills & Nash, some Allman Brothers, some Stefan Grossman, with a little Santana thrown in for good measure. | |
| Compare Large Advent? I had a pair of the large Advents 40+ years ago and for the money, they were unbeatable in my opinion.I'd be willing to bet they'd still be able to hold their own today with much pricier speakers. | |
| This is juvenile... It is juvenile, but I'll play along.Aside from the sound quality of her recordings, I'm a big fan of Diana Krall's music.It doesn't hurt that she's easy on the eyes too. | |

I s... | |
