| Eggleston Works speakers: Expensive, but are they worth the money?? I have a pair of their Fontaines, original version, and they are excellent. Sub(s) required for this model for music other than acoustic IMO, so I augment the low end with a pair of ACI Titan subs (powered, 12" driver, sealed). Exquisite sound, wi... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? My Audio Mirror 45 Watt SETs have been working flawlessly for years. And with auto-bias, the power tubes last a very long time. Glorious sound to boot. | |

| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it 99% of everything I listen to no one else hears, but my secret spin is Michael Jackson. If my friends knew they would kick my ***. (Maybe I need new friends?) | |
| Live show audience noise Immature, attention seeking, twits. Sorry, they're everywhere. | |
| What is your favorite holiday song? Cheech and Chong, " Santa Claus and His Old Lady" | |
| Whats in your second system? In my home office I have a pair of Adam F7 Active Monitors driven by my laptop via an upgraded 3.5-RCA Cable made by Take Five Audio. My intent was to use them to play music softly while working, but they sound so darned good I’ll also use them fo... | |
| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? Thanks Tom. Good ideas. Especially might consider what it might take to have Jim come over. He probably lives not too far from me (I am in Marietta, GA, and I see he has an Atlanta area code). |
