A couple of things stuck out for me: the head of the studio saying negative things about her going from 32 to 38 years old and no longer being sellable (in so many words).
Her royalties and records and ownership being abused by people that she trusted and pacts/double-dealings behind her back (and her losing income as a result of it).
And some other things....including good for people bringing these things up.
PD

Quote from: Mandryka on Today at 08:49:45 AMWell everyone says that they are hard to drive. At the moment I'm using an 80W solid state Conrad Johnson, and it drives them better than it drove the speakers they replaced -- JR149s. I've got a couple of monster amps, a Krell and a 200W Conrad Johnson, and I guess I'll try them with the AE1s soon -- but the amps are heavy and I'm too lazy to move them. Also the Krell has a tendency to explode if you look at it in the wrong way.Hope that you bought unscented litter as the time that I tried using any of the scented stuff for my cats' litter boxes, I ended up with a fit of coughing!
I'd love the original stands! They're very hard to find. The ones in the pic are cheap Atcama stands -- heavy, but filled with cat litter (someone told me it's great for filling stands, and it seems fine!) They're at the right height, 60cm, which I guess is the most important thing.
Quote from: Irons on Today at 07:49:16 AMI had AE1s, used a massive Musical Fidelity amp to drive them and they do take some driving but sound fantastic in the right conditions. I recall purchasing the heavyweight stands designed specifically for them which look very similar to your pair? Later AE brought out a more wife acceptable wood veneer finish, mine were the original composite black.Nice! And @Mandryka I like your old fireplace and green shelving for your books.
Quote from: JBS on Today at 08:40:10 AMThere's also the question of whether the person reading is able to convey the book onto tape. Erofeeov is totally unknown to me, but I'm reminded of how sometimes composers are not the best conductors of their own works: despite the apparent authority of the performance, perhaps another person might do better.
