Just listening to some music tonight as neighbours moved out a week or two
ago. 60% pissed and enjoying the freedom. Even though I'm detached I still
don't like to annoy people (no not rich, in fact no job for 20 years).

Been listening to a selection of songs from CD (Steve Miller, Stevie Wonder,
Andrew Gold etc). What I really want is speaker that can hit me like a live
band firing up. I've been wondering recently, what speakers does Dave
Gilmore or Eric Clapton use at home. If there isn't a website that lists the
fave speakers for various artists, there should be. My old BC1's and quad
405 were great in their day, but I need something that can handle the bass
of a Marshall amp without distortion. As I said, like a live band kickin'
in.

I know most of you are old farts into classical instrumentals written 300
years ago, but that doesn't float my boat. Any ideas about speakers that can
really hack it as loud as a live rock band without distortion. Thinking of
Bose or Tannoy. Thoughts...

Tannoy Autograph;))..

Just need a good valve amp to drive one of they!...

Or some Lancasters .....

Might find some on e-bay they can be re-coned if they've been damaged..

Bose .. don't somehow think so...

Nowt wrong with the BC1's either 'cept they ain't that loud..

As to most rock muso's there mostly a bit deaf and don't seem to ever
have anything that exotic in audio *systems as with most musicians ..

'Tho some have the odd recording studio in their back yards..

And they might have the B&W monitors at around £10K odd a pair..
