That must've been a great concert!
I think "we" mentioned I'm With Her earlier in this thread(?).
Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O'Donovan. Three extremely talented women who also just happen to harmonize gorgeously.
Their music's not altogether folky, but it is, on balance, quite good (trying to stay on topic, which is always a stretch goal for me!).
Fun fact: Aoife O'Donovan's father is (was) the late Brian O'Donovan, long time host of A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH-FM in Boston.

Re: What's your limit on Speakers?
It's important to play music loud enough to drown out the ringing in my left ear from tinnitus.

Re: What's your limit on Speakers?
A true audiophile values his/her tympanic membranes over any gear.

Re: What's your limit on Speakers?
No cap. However, I think one needs to have an idea of the overall system cost and match components to fit in that budget without anything being too lopsided. Used, used, used. Purchasing speakers new is a game for those with deep pockets and not many hobbies (or fools, possibly some crossover). That is, unless you have a wholesale connection that essentially avoids a majority of depreciation.

Re: SDA SRS Speaker set up help
Somewhere I have a picture of those feet. Same ones came with my 15s AFAIK.
Yes the glides are very common. You're more than likely able to pick a set up at most building
centers. Just make sure the thread is 1/4x20. On that floor with glides those cabinets will walk, on my 2.3tl's on very short carpet on a concrete basement floor with no padding my 2.3tl's would move ever so slightly after a good session. Move enough to mess with the stage image, ON carpet. So yes on LVT they will walk from the drivers motions.

Re: What's your limit on Speakers?
About 85dB is my limit. Close to OSHA specs to prevent hearing loss.
That's a time weighted average if you listen for 8hrs, 5-days a week.

That's excellent!
Glad the Jennys worked for you (both). Loves me some Jennys. See them live if you ever get the chance. Forty Days, with Cara Luft, is superb and well worth acquiring -- maybe it's one you're waiting for?
Pointless, egocentric aside (which I may have already shared) - when I have the opportunity to demo the big boy Altecs for... you know, an Altec virgin
... I often play Bring Me Little Water, Silvy from Live from Mauch Chunk. It's a synergistic combination and will showcase the Altec mystique as well as anything I know of.
John Renbourn. If he/you (plural) like the classic English folk tunes, and if this wasn't mentioned before, he/you might love Anaïs Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer's album Child Ballads. I do.
The so-called Child Ballads are a collection of 305 ancient folk songs (lyrics and/or tunes) from England and Scotland compiled by Harvard professor Francis James Child in the late 19th century. Mitchell recorded a handful of them with, from my perspective, superb results. Here's a live recording of one of the Child ballads appearing on the album that I like the best: Tam Lin (Child 39)

The album:
Rock Folk on!
