For Any Who Are Grieving
1 of 1 found this helpful This may be the best book written to date solely dedicated to the attempt to describe the loss of a spouse or other person with whom you experience true intimacy. Joan has expressed in words many of the experiences I have had since my Help Meet died 21 months ago. I would’ve written a book with many of Joan’s experiences if I weren’t destroyed by Grief in my “first Year of Magical Thinking”. Don’t be mislead by the book’s title: Joan has a wicked and satirical sense of humor. You may read other reviews less positive than mine and that is OK. One reviewer was unhappy with Joan because her life has been one of privilege. Joan will express some experiences in the light of the life she has lived. Try to understand her feelings: indescribable pain with love and joy. A recommended read for any thinking human being.

Virtues of Blu Ray Audio
The Crime of the Century on Blu Ray Audio is well worth the effort to find and purchase. The sound from this version is the best I’ve heard from dozens of sources (including vinyl, CD, and digital encode). The low frequency content (below 300 or so MHz) alone is worth the admission price.

Superb Mono Amp for Hard-to-Drive Speakers
2 of 3 found this helpful This was my fifth Crown professional amplifier purchase since late 2017 but have owned and enjoyed Crown power amplifiers since late 1970s. I own four Crown XTi1002 professional power amplifiers for use in a 14-channel 11-horsepower multimedia playback system. Bought the XLS1502 new late last year at a sale price to drive a large electrostatic center speaker in mono/bridge mode. Big selling points were its RCA inputs (XTi series have balanced in/out only), Class D efficiency (>95% load dependent), small size, Crown sound. This system is AC electricity limited until I get it required for multiple 240 VAC outlets. Electrostatic speakers are tough loads for all amplifier types and are generally power starved - they can accept prodigious power inputs as long as it “clean” (low distortion). The Crown XLS 1502 has been perfect for my application. Sound is very detailed and “forward” for human voice (principal sound from center speaker) - the XLS series amp is “brighter” in sound quality than the XLi series amps but this is easily controlled either at the AV preamp/receiver or by tweaking the XLS amp’s DSP. Highly recommended. Crown Professional power amplifiers have never disappointed me in almost 50 years of music reproduction. Fantastic technology (my five Crown power amps deliver 7000 audio Watts and dissipate 30 Watts each in waste heat at idle and dissipate about 500 Watts each (120 VAC at 11.3 Amperes at high clip) in waste heat when driving five electrostatic speakers at high clip (near the threshold of pain for human hearing) and truly top one percent sound (I have tried dozens of power amplifier types in my system - tubes, Class A, hybrids, Class AB, Class B) - the Crowns sound the best with electrostatic speakers and can survive the “drive”.
