    interesting suggestions!!!
    i cant wait to get these tracks hooked up somehow.



    general question to ANYONE...
    what do you find is the best media to play music FROM? i mean mp3s, records... youtube playlist?..

    im a pretty good fan of the hip hop band the roots. i bought their cds on sale just because i thought i might get better quality straight from the real deal. does that even ring true??

    AC/DC

    Pink Floyd

    Both of those your are sure to have heard a million times, you know how they sound and WILL notice any differences on gear/speakers, also nothing rocks harder then AC/DC!!!

    Also please give blues brothers/star wars a try both will really let you fall in love your Polks. I know they did with me.

    Cool. Glad you're diggin it. The recording is amazing, just like her looks:D. She really does put a good vibe into the songs. She's in the groove and feels the music. I've heard other Aqua De Beber covers and the passion just wasn't there for me.

    Sorry, can't help you with the mp3 stuff. I'm a cd guy.

    "Mars the Bringer of War" from Holst's "The Planets" for the hardest hitting classical. For the hardest hitting period . . . try "Ov Fire and the Void" by Behemoth. Let me warn you though, Behemoth isn't for the faint of heart.

    For "classy" guys: Spanish Harlem ( SACD) by Rebecca Pigeon. For old timer:
    Born to be wild (CD) by Steppenwolf.

    Behemoth? Now that's extreme. I love to crank up "At the left hand of God". I'll add another to the hardest hitting... "Masturbating the War God" by Nile and "Wall of Water" by Mayhem:cool:
