    Not so much this year @Pyruvate . Last year, I setup the EAR / Marten room from scratch...but not this year. Also, the sound is decent this year in that room, but I'm not blown away. I might take those Mingus Quintet speakers home right after the SHOW to give them a honest spin in my own setup.

  Hi shaizada! I just wanted to know if you could recommend any speakers for rock/metal and also a nice tube integrated to go with them. Looking at about $3k for speakers and $2k for amp. It seems any tube amps this cheap are crappy Chinese stuff and brands like Manley, EAR, BAT etc cost a lot more money.
  
  Thanks!

    Get these speakers, while I find a proper amp match for you.

    Hey, you are ABSOLUTELY welcome! :) Sorry it was a short session, but it was a little late at night so had to tend to my daughter who won't sleep without me telling her a story or something! Come by again sometime when u are in town and we can enjoy another listening session.

    Azteca, I have everything they released on that label...the Chet Baker releases are killer! Buy blindly on that label so far...everything is just stunning quality.

  could you suggest me more Indian classical masterpieces like the one shown in pictures of your speaker setup by you...Dagar Brothers - Chant Dhrupad (Nasir Zahiruddin Dagar - vocal
  Nasir Faiyazuddin Dagar - vocal
  Sri Laxmi Naraian Pawar - pakhawaj
  Mussarat Dagar - tampura)
  i would really really appreciate it

    That is a good idea because I can see many Indian members here on this forum and I am sure they all have something interesting to contribute.

    Cool, see you Sunday!
    
    When I was younger, I loved dhrupad so much I actually studied pakhawaj for two years with Pt. Mohan Shyam Sharma. It's really beautiful and I'll be happy to make some recommendations plus maybe I can link to some decent intro explanations of Indian classical generally.

    I am jealous.....I think those are really fortunate who know/understand/studied Indian classical/Hindustani music/Carnatic music....it must really help enjoy listening to them even more.
