I have had, for some time, a Verve recording entitled The Essential Charlie Parker. I can't recall when I got it and neither the record nor the jacket give any indication of its release date. It is one of those anthologies featuring Parker with various groups. The masters from recordings originally issued as mono were cherry picked and groups of tunes were re-issued "electronically re-recorded to simulate stereo". The sonics are as you might expect, but I've kept it because one or two tracks are great musically.

Which is the better option for a two channel system with budget of $1,500-$2,000? Budget is for Amplification only, not source units or loudspeakers.

I read, with a good deal of interest, RJR's review of the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 in the November issue.

Any possibility of reviewing Quad's L-series of dynamic loudspeakers? I have a pair of Quad 11L's and- at least on the surface- the drivers used by the L-series appear to be very similar to those on the Wharfedale Diamond 9-series.
