I still have some decent Infinity speakers. RS5Bs I think?

I need to get an amp. I have about 100gig of music on my hard drive. :)

Gordon's drummer and bass player are friends of mine. The drummer, Barry, and his wife have place two doors over from my lake house. He's had a few thrill rides in the HST, believe me! Great bunch of guys with the band. The guitar player, Terry, recently passed away. His replacement, Carter, is great. Terry would approve.

Although Gordon is 70, he still puts on a great show. I see him when they are in town. They play smaller venues of like 1500. If you have a chance to see the show, I recommend it while you can!

Paul I tend to lean towards the Made in America classic Amps. Adcom, Carver, Kenwood, McIntosh, Marantz and Phase linier. They are still repairable if something goes wrong unlike the throw away crap on the market today.

Personally I prefer Carver, McIntosh & Marrantz. When I had my house fire I found alot on E-bay to replace what I had lost. If you shop smart you can still find some good deals. I am a component man all the way. Pre Amp, Amp(s), Tuner, CD player, Graphic Egualizer etc. When a all in one unit goes bad you are down until it is repaired.

But If I were to choose a all in one AMP/Tuner it woild have to be Marrantz. I still have a Marrantz 2220 B That all I have done is replace a couple illumination bulbs. And it still kicks arzz better than any of this crap on the market today.

The ones I mentioned were way ahead of their time in low total harmonic distortion and the more you crank them up the better they sound. Carver and McIntosh are still pricy. You can have the best components made to man but if you don't have the speakers to back them up it's a total wash.

But if you want to sit on your keester and play with the volume etc you pretty much have to settle for the Made in where ever stuff.

Thanks Bud. I have always been a fan of Carver. I like component systems too for the very reason you stated. I'll have to check out eBay. :)

Paul:

I actually checked out the Bay after your response. There are some really nice Carver pieces on there (one in Paticular) Like I need another Pre Amp. Bob Carver Sunfire Pre-Amp Theater Grand Processor II

This thing sold for $3400.00 new. Now I know why I didn't buy one. But I just might jump on this one. It blows away my 4000t, and that is/was the top cookie for home high end use.

Wishbone Ash are a British rock band who achieved success in the early and mid-1970s. Their popular records included Wishbone Ash (1970), Argus (1972), There's the Rub (1974), and New England (1976). They were one of the first of many bands to come who used twin lead guitars.

Wishbone Ash are considered to be one of the major innovators of the harmony twin lead guitar format. Their contributions helped in Powell and Turner being voted "Two Of The Ten Most Important Guitarists In Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989), and part of the "Top 20 Guitarists Of All Time" (Rolling Stone). Melody Maker (1972) described Ted Turner and Andy Powell as "the most interesting two guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced The Yardbirds".

Formed in Torquay, Devon, in 1969, out of the ashes of trio The Empty Vessels (originally known as The Torinoes, later briefly renamed Tanglewood in 1969), which had been formed by Wishbone Ash's founding member Martin Turner (bass/vocals) in 1963 and complemented by Steve Upton (drums and percussion) in 1966. The original Wishbone Ash line-up was completed by guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner. In 1974, Ted Turner left the band, and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield.[1] The band continued on with strong critical and commercial success until 1980.

After revolving line-ups featuring former members from King Crimson, Trapeze, and Uriah Heep, Wisefield left in 1985. In 1987, however, the original line-up reunited for several albums - Nouveau Calls, Here to Hear, and Strange Affair - until 1990, when Upton quit the band. After Martin Turner was replaced in 1991, the band recorded The Ash Live in Chicago, before Ted Turner left in 1993.[1] Since 1995, the band have continued with mixed critical and commercial success, changing members on several albums. In 2004, Martin Turner formed his own version of Wishbone Ash, and tours frequently.
