I should have never asked. I somehow have a pair of Totem Sttafs sitting in my living room now.

The Sttafs are a lovely speaker, great choice, which finish did you get them in?

Slightly damaged black

Soundsaround is apparently going out of business and was selling off all their floor models. The left speaker has some cosmetic issues but they sound unreal. I've got a set of Def Techs for the home theater (and rocking out) which I love, but these Sttafs are unreal for brass & piano. The clarity is fantastic.

Black shoe polish fixes everything,

the fun of new speakers is listening to all your old tunes on them.

Thanks for that suggestion. I was in London Drugs today and they just happened to have it on vinyl. Listening to it while enjoying a scotch. Very nice album.

I've been thoroughly enjoying this album:



http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/con...ar/id105422265

I heard the track Easin' In on jazzradio.com the other day and ended up buying it on the strength of that one track.

If you like a touch of blues in your jazz (or vice versa, although this would be very jazzy for most blues fans) you'll enjoy it.

I remember hearing some Scott Hamilton on CBC one night that sounded good. Can anyone post something inspiring by him?
