    Come around and listen to mine, feeding Quad 57s. You might change your mind, but then again you might not.

    I would buy a house for Sue and myself as I am slightly sick of having to rent but of course the house would have to have a suitable music room.

    My ex once had all the LOTO numbers, but for the wrong week, that was a double take moment.

    I would buy a house with a dedicated well proportioned music room.
    That more than any hi end gear, would help sort things and increase my enjoyment of the music I already have.
