When I read through the May issue, I gave only casual attention to Robert Baird's column entitled, "A Change is Gonna Come?". I'm not that much offended by digressions into political rhetoric and I left the article only with a mental note to look for more information about Branford Marsalis' forthcoming recordings as another potential source for musically and sonically good stuff. Your July issue response, John, to a letter from a reader in Ohio led me to re-read the piece.

Concert Sound is proud to announce they have officially received the brand new Tocaro 40 loudspeakers.

I'm posting this here for two reasons: the July issue category hasn't yet been set up and, it is a bona fide rave.

In the past I have taken exception to some of Mr. Serinus' writings and expressed my reactions in this forum. Today I'm here to say, Good Show JVS! Thanks for a fine piece of writing that gets some important things said.

To the rest of you, some of whom may not be fortunate enough to have recieved your July issue, I say don't miss the As We See It opener. It's a dandy.

Hi. I'm looking at upgrading my speakers. Currently using the old Monitor Audio - Monitor 14 floor standing speakers.

From the reviews that I've been reading, it seems like the Monitor Audio BR5 is getting a lot of good recommendations. On the other hand, the RS6 also gets its fair share of recommendations but nothing close to the amount that the BR5's are getting. I know that they both come from a different line of Monitor Audio speakers, in that the RS6's are priced a little bit more, about USD200-300 more.

Folks, I have a H/K 3480 powering my system that works very well, and is dead quiet. However; I am interested in increasing the dynamics by adding a NAD 272 to drive my Usher 580's and the H/K drive my PSB 25's.
I am very happy with the Ushers and the PSB 25's but I have listened to them when driven by a more powerful system than I have and they sounded unbelievable. They had more punch. Yes, the system consisted of components of a higher level than what I have, Battery cable for speakers wires...
