Rush R30 DVD. Filmed in high definition. The picture and sound is spectacular. The crowd isn't as lively as the Rush in Rio DVD. Just got some cash for a birthday gift so QS8's and stands will be on order shortly. Yahoo!

Relaxing to a little Diana Krall on my 10ft wide screen and awesome Axiom 7.1 speakers, currently listening to "Narrow Daylite." Man it sounds so good this grown man could almost cry.

Wife and son are asleep upstairs, daughter is asleep downstairs on the couch in front of the Axioms so I'm listening with headphones. I've got a nice mix going. The last couple songs were:
- Miles Davis, Birth of the Cool "Israel"
- Blue Öyster Cult, Workshop of the Telesdcopes, "E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)"
- Pink Floyd, The Final Cut, "Paranoid Eyes" (currently playing)
Pink Floyd + headphones = wow!

Jeez Randy. I was just listening to that disc today. I have the SACD version. WOW! Narrow Daylight is my FAVORITE track on that disc, and I have the same reaction to it that you do. It's truly a beautiful and moving piece of music.

Thanks Jack, I was listening to my DVD Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival in "Dolby Digital 5.1 + PLIIx M" using all 7.1 speakers. To be honest I can't imagine it getting any better, it truely sounds magical. I thought I was sitting on stage.

Just a small Floyd-fest. Wish you were Here, Dark Side of the Moon, Meddle, Obscured by Clouds (vinyl).
Before that, the newly discovered Thelonius Monk / John Coltrane CD. Definitely interesting -- I normally find Monk a bit too deliberate and Coltrane just noodles around too much for my liking (I like piano noodling but sax noodling annoys me), but together they balance each other out nicely.

It really does sound magical. Unless people actually audition these speakers they just don't get it. I still get flack on other threads from folks that seem somewhat bitter towards "Axiomites"...

Whether it's denial or just a form of product loyalty of their own brand, who knows?

Sorry, the link didn't work. One of these days I'll figure out how to make them work on this site...
