Absolutely amazing visuals!
Yes, it is a trip to watch....as one glimpses scenes of the Austrian countryside (where Anton Bruckner is originally from) as the music plays on during this DVD. The camerawork is most stunning. This DVD INTERNATIONAL PRESENTS: A NAXOS MUSICAL JOURNEY is a must-have! I put this DVD on and light a fire in the hearth and everything is set right again. No troubles of the day or mundane noise can drown-out the experience of tranquility that this DVD presents. (This is readily evident especially if one listens to this DVD's soundtrack on a really sano hi-fi system!) On a scale of 1 to 10 it is a 10 visually. On the same scale it is an 8 in the musical forte department....I have heard more emotionally charged versions of Symphony No. 4 (The Romantic) before.....but that very minor discrepancy is easily overlooked. The only peeve I have about the whole DVD is how it ends abruptly. The Symphony comes to an end very quickly and then one is immediately watching the segue into the trademark image and then there is silence...a little too abrupt. That is the only thing that marring the entire experience. There must be an editing/ technical reason for this or something. Other than that one may want to add this effort to their classical DVD collection as a sure-fire aid to maintaining one's personal sanity in a world full of otherwise garbage!....which is all around these days.

All too much, too fast...
I want to party with those rockers. I mean...I would have liked to have partied with these guys in the 60's and 70's---ALMOST! From Brian Jones to Keith Richards one will read about many types of drugs in "healthy," heaping doses being taken by the royalty of rock and roll----by the man who brought them their party-ables in dollops. It nearly killed too many of their hangers-on friends and rock journalist interviewers. It nearly killed the rock stars that surround The Rolling Stones.....and there are plenty of people that fall to the wayside trying to keep-up with The Stones. It was once said that Keith was the last to go to bed after a "party" and the first to rise...this stuff is folklore about The Greatest Rock And Roll Band of the period and is THE book about them from that late-70's publication date...if anything there are tons of little anecdotal stories in this book that will keep you in stitches IF you can keep from cringing about the near-deaths and a few real deaths that happen amongst The Stones and friends.

Not an overkill subwoofer.....a refined unit!
I wanted a big sound...I got a big sound...and at a killer price! I had some big CV 12" 3-way monitors....they were rattling the windows....they operated right at that frequency where that would occur. Now, this box goes below that frequency range and thrums aloud tastefully with rap, rock, jazz...you name it. And the quality, warm CV sound is awesome. Sounds like an old Ampeg B-15 Portaflex vacuum tbe bass amp. And that's with 200w rms going-on internally with it's own amplifier; 300w peak. And now I run a tighter, smaller cabinet-ed 12" 3-way monitor pair of main speakers that I built myself and shoehorned 5.25" and 3" mids and tweeters, repectively...they bark above the window rattling frequency range. The subwoofer 15" and the high-frequency 12" speakers together work fantastic in a 11' x 11' bedroom. And the line out capability hooked-up between the 25w x 25w 1969 Harman Kardon A 500 tube integrated amplifier and the sub is not overkill at all---although when turned up the deep 25Hz bass thrumming is totally sumo with rap sub-bass sounds not booming, but mellowly humming along...if you wanted the unit to be percussively kicking a little adjustment with an inline EQ would pinpoint that effect and promote a much more resonant note. The 15" driver is no slouch....and it's internal amp is smart......just check out a tech sheet on the product and you'll find versatility and flexibility abound on the backpanel controls and functions.......not for the faint of heart or those with limited space for a such large unit....buy one and have a seat and dig-in. It has a sonically low-register meal of a signal that just about anyone would love to indulge in.
