thanks Ken, I am familiar with the Progressive Ears site, and visit it and others now and then, but your post caused me to go out and get an update. I'm familiar with many of the bands mentioned there and in this thread. My point was to note I don't see mention of Camel, or Caravan much if at all in the A'gon threads. There's lots of discussion of Genesis, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and the other 70's bands and also Porcupine tree, Spock's Beard, etc (ie the contemporary) acts. The bands I mention here are just a few of the the ones I favor most, and Camel, Caravan are among the top of my favorites list. I saw Camel on their "Nod and a Wink" tour and it was a great show. I think Nod and a Wink, and Rajaz (both released in the last 5 years) are as good as anything done by any other band in that time.
Progressive Rock
Have any of you specifically built your system to listen to progressive rock, i.e. Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, etc.? I'm curious because I have, and was wondering what components you have found that lend themselves well to this particular type of music. The reason I asks is that I attended the Home Entertainment show last month in NYC. And not one of the rooms I visited were playing rock of any kind - and they did not seem receptive to taking request - especially at the volume I would need to hear before plunking down oh say $12,000 for a pair of speakers. Any incite you care to share is appreciated. Thanks, Matt...
