speakers for classical music
Guido- I will certainly look into the Soundings/JRDG/Sumiko room. I think I heard the Mahlers a few years (2) on the Mezzanine floor/1st floor? in the same room that Linn were in the last year? being run with 3/4 205/305 REL subs? Going from memor... 
speakers for classical music
Shouldn't all speakers play all music? Although at least B&W/Vienna Acoustics are consistent in that they don't play anything well.Seriously though I am looking forward to the RMAF its a yearly pilgrimage for me to listen and look a lot of the... 
Wise audio aphorisms
Your eyes hear what your ears see. 
Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts???
I am not to fond of the Beatles, and even less fond of the Rolling and a stones, so I will pass on that although Ringo's voice was good on 'Thomas the Tank Engine'. 
Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
If Richard was still in the sub game the 'bassmeister' would without question have one in his range to conquer all subs that would be put before it.A really sad day in hi-fi Mr Lord's retirement. The Rel name will mean nothing now. Big sigh.

Remasters: which are the good ones?
The cynical part of me says it just a money making exercise from the record companies. Michael Jackson has brought out a 25th anniversary of the album 'Thriller'. Is he short of cash? 
Best Recording of Music
Every cd I own played on my boom box. 
When did you know that music was your passion?
When I was in the womb, my mother was an amateur opera singer.When they slapped my rear end I didn't cry, but started to wail 'Carmen'. Apparently. 
Break in period for albums.?
I'd like to break in(to) many pieces 'Face Value' by Phil Collins. 
Recording quality effect on listening pleasure ...
'Recording quality effect on listening pleasure ...'100% NO. 
Optimum size for music room?
Thanks for all your input guys! good stuff! I will check out all the site/s mentioned. S'funny but the room I am listening to my speakers at present is 27'L X 13'W X 7'T. Being in a basement the room needs a lot of Improving to equalize it but as ... 
European Speaker Price Increase
Don't forget one would also get 17.5% (Value Added Tax) off the price of any merchandise purchased in the UK for export out of the EU.That dreaded tax for the long suffering buying British public.Gawdbless her majesty.
