McIntosh has always been a dream of mine.

First I didn’t have the money. Then got the money but wife that thinks audio stuff shouldn’t be seen. 😢

I got mine after a bad breakup. Seemed like a better idea than drinking

That running a set of Klipshhorns and I would never leave home.

I’d love that, but I don’t have the funds or the space for them. Mine is running a pair of Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand speakers. Much smaller profile than the Klipschhorn and got them 70% off at their former US distributor as “b stock” (a couple cosmetic dings) back in 2006. Obviously the speakers and amp cost a bit of money, but I’ll have them until I die, so for me the cost is justified.

She's right. If you're buying audio equipment for it's visual appearance, something ain't right.

I've got a decent band PA system upstairs but my daily drive is a Roland Street ex busking amp. I use it in school, in my garden, in the street, for busking. And monitoring my home recordings.

Goldberg variations are awesome. Even on 78RPM shellac.

It's the notes that count.

That's not what she means.

Also, busking is cool!
