Concrete Cowboy | Official Trailer | Netflix is an interesting movie. Also, touches on how innovation (trucks) leads to obsolescence (of horse trains).

#18 and #7 are much better to/for my ears.

If Cabin 5 comes back, it may be worth a trip. 😉 Tentatively, yes!

@zumbini is in your corner of the world.

The combinations I currently have (or had).... M500t MkII, ADS-L810s/ADS-L710s/ADS-1290s, BillD C1 2 x M500t MkII (or 2 x TFM-42s), SDA-1Cs, BillD C1 2 x Silver 9Ts, BillD C11 (or a refreshed C16), Snell Type Ds M4.0t (refreshed by @Nahash5150), BillD C11 on any of these speakers Vintage Heresys on any Amp/Pre-amp combination listed here CRM2s with 2 x TFM-42s (or Sunfire 2 x 300), and a Sub (preferably a TSEQ10) My bad - forgot the KEF-LS50s. Waiting on Bob's 'half-stacks'. 😉 @kve777 did you want to list your Pendragons? @Dadvwyou have opened a wormhole. 😅

I have watched this twice over. I also enjoy Billy Gibbons as the father of Angela (Conlin) in Bones. His on-screen 'grandson' has 'Staccato' in the name.

Morbid and tragic, but somehow appropriate...

George Solti, et al., ELP...

IMO... The Pink Panther series with Steve Martin does not come close to the Peter Sellers originals. The Denzel Washington Magnificent Seven does not comes close to the 1960 Yul Brynner version which is a mere shadow of the Kurosawa Seven Samurai original.

Is 'political correctness' a new form of political in-correctness? ? I am certain Bob Seeger is rewriting frantically

Another option is to look at last year's models or factory-refurbished units, which drop in price. For example Accessories4Less sometimes has good pricing on Processors.

Outlaw Audio - Model 976 7.2 HDMI AV Surround Processor is also a nice processor. You can audition it for a bit. You can also read a Review .

Are there any budgeting guidelines? I like the Marantz 8802a. There are similar offerings from Denon, Emotiva, Yamaha, Onkyo.

Dire Straits' Six-Blade Knife is an interesting one. Billy Joel's Stilleto is another one.
