Fortunately there was a good bit of rain the last 2 days of November and today on the news they said all the fires were out. Unfortunately, they also said the death toll was up to 7 people. I've lived in this part of the world for over 30 years now & I've never seen such a sudden sever drought. We had normal rainfall through early August then it just stopped raining and the temperatures were very high (7 record highs in a 14 day stretch the end of October). Conditions were just ripe for these fires, hope the catch the arsonists. Hangings too good for them.

My parents had all those Kingston Trio albums and a couple more. Some of my earliest memories of recorded music. My brother ended up with all their albums but they can't be in very good condition by now.

IMHO, going to the lower power amp for a pair of "power hungry speakers" is completely the wrong thing to do. Driving a lower powered amp into clipping is the single biggest cause of speaker damage. If the speakers are rated for 300-500 watts, use the 600 watt TFM-42's, not going to hurt a thing.

Love that one. I need to get more Gary Clark.

Sorry he's having problems, I've really enjoyed his blues festivals, I've got several on Bluray. I'm only 60 and really feeling some old snow skiing, water skiing and motorcycling injuries. Got an appointment with an orthopedic in the morning! But I would do it all again.

So tragic to learn that Kieth Emerson's death was by his on hand.

Please tell me there is no Volume Two.

Seems like you are putting the cart before the horse to me. I've always chosen the speakers I like first and then picked an appropriate amp.
