Loron it was nice that you put this posting here than "Off Topic". What theater system would be complete without a McIntosh amp.

Us Boomers are dropping. RIP Frank Gow

Those like me at 69 should start to look out at a tree, the sky, the views through their telescope because it could be their last. No money no amount of friends and politics will save one from the eventual passing. We the Boomers of the 1940s need to enjoy our lives while we live. Those close to 70, stop the greed, stop the hate and give something back.

The best words Roy.

Thank you all for your threads.
