Ok so after not buying any audio equipment for 15+ years I have the itch to upgrade... ummm... well.... everything. I am currently running off of a Sony STR-AV770X Receiver with matching EQ and 5 Disc Changer. All components are from the early 90's. The receiver has a pretty good amplifier in it and all the components have been flawless over the years. But it is time to grow up a little.
My friends are making it, kind-of. Conceived in Norwood MA, gestated and delivered during parties-cum-concerts dubbed "cheap rent" in Woonsocket RI, has given birth to Wizard Rock.
Mostly they sing about Harry Potter and his adventures,
but they really work to encourage reading and music, for the young and old.
I searched the forum and I don't think anyone has ever posted this article. It's a reply to Steve Jobs DRM speech from Leonardo Chiariglione, chair of the MPEG group. I think how he defines DRM is important, even if you don't agree with some of his points, it's a worthwhile read.

There is just one thing that is important when choosing components and that is the sound quality YOU here when listening to your music. When asking for advice about components I would recommend that you take some of your favority CD's to your hi-fi dealer to audition the products. As for money, I know we all have to live within our means but I can tell you this from experience; it's better to wait till you have more dollars than to invest in a systemt that you may not be happy with.
I recently wrote my brother that I had upgraded my hi-fi with $5K to the Arcam Solo and Paradigm 100's. His reply was that a music system costing $500 would have given me the same enjoyment and that with technology where it is today it was a wasted investment. Of course I responded that I can hear the difference in sound and that to ME it was well vs. the investment which is not that big compared to some hi-fy systems. What do you say when people roll their eyes in disbelief at what you have spent on your hi-fi system.
I was just wondering how to find a buyer for these one of a kind speakers. This pair is one of the few made before going out of business in the early 80's. William Wright was the scientist who designed the best speakers but as most sientists didn't fair well as an entrepreneur. I'd like to source a collector interesed in adding these to his collection. They are still much in demand by collectors in Japan but I'd prefer a closer buyer in North America. Does anyone have a web site for same. I'll put a link for the info on the speakers.
