T.Y Mr. garnay but it turns out i don't need one afterall, i made do with a standard 3.5 to 3.5. tyty.
I heard a pair of urei monitors in an actual studio but i don't remember the model #'s but holy moly...best speakers i personally ever heard.
I almost bought a set of altec v.o.t.t....love their sound.
Yup, never had a bad time when I was listening to those speakers
… another friend got some Cerwin Vegas but I always thought they were just too big. I did really like the Bose 901s (I think that was the model #).

I don't like the monstrous speakers either. I like small ones, but you have to have a well-defined bass from it. I really pay attention to bass and something nicely balanced. No screechiness or non-existent bass.Yup, never had a bad time when I was listening to those speakers
Beautiful song. I never heard that one, but it reminded me of this one. Soooo nostalgic...
Yes, it's absolutely beautiful. Frank and Company capture the nostalgia and deep sense of longing just perfectly.
I try to listen to KKJZ every Saturday and Sunday morning because they play a lot of the favorites. Of all the great songs from this morning's playlist, I singled out just those three songs to bring to this thread--"I'm Homesick That's All" for the reasons mentioned, "All I Need is the Girl" for the fantastic arrangement and great horns, and "Yardbird Suite" for the whimsical lyrics and vocal quality (proving that leaning on vocal gymnastics isn't the only way to sound good with song articulation).
I love this, but a certain chick ruined all other renditions for me. I think Sinatra is a bit too sterile here in following the lyrics' lead. For my money, my first lady of song and her Count produced the most exuberant rendition:

Nothing makes me happier than to hear those horns blare in the instrumental interlude, then Sinatra comes back in and matches the fevered pitch with "Now you're here!"
That tinge of melancholy at the end caps it off perfectly.
There's none better than old-man Sinatra to give voice to that "where did my life go?" melancholy. Where's Dean? Where's Sammy? Where's the rest of my "Rat Pack??"

There is nothing that makes me happier than playing Frank Sinatra music all over the house, especially the kitchen!
I get it--it's a place that you associate with good times, festiveness, and making that pasta fagioli.
I've listened to a lot of speakers and the best I've heard by far are the B&W 801's. Slightly mid forward, tight bass, and the highs are clear without being too bright.
