Tuesday Update

The magnificent JBL 4312Bs just left. They will be driven in their new home by the most beautiful Marantz 2275 I've seen. The combination sounds outstanding, and I know the new owner will be very happy. I have some seller's remorse at the moment, but this is what I do. I didn't write much about the 4312bs, I just listened with pleasure. They are the best speakers I've had here, or at least my favourites.

I'm listening to a pair of original Advents right now, and am pretty happy. In the next few days I hope to have some cool new speakers to tell you about. I have some fabulous small speakers right now, but will be looking for the next big pair.

Every once in a while I go to somewhere like Bay Bloor Radio to scope out the current retail audio situation, and am always amazed by what I see. I'm sure the equipment sounds good, but really, almost $4,000 for a 50 watt/channel NAIM integrated amp? Bose computer speakers for $500? Check out the flyer, and smile inside that your vintage system can make beautiful music for way less than a grand!
