Speakers / Re: An inch Here an Inch There
« Last post by Barry (NJ) on Today at 07:08:47 AM »Pretty cool B. That is a great idea 1hz for exactly seeing what is going on in your room. For those who don't have this cd, here are some links that might still work well for you.

This is a compilation of Debussey, Rachmaninoff, and Satie short pieces that very well recorded. If you've got the speakers, you can put the concert grand convincingly in your living room. It's hard to get the lower octaves and the reverb of a big grand right, the this recording does.
And on top of that, the performance is romantic and personal... enough to make you listen to music you may be very familiar with.
AND..... vinyl copies are cheap. Not often can you find quality for the price of a hamburger and fries.
