My copy has just arrived with Amazon and I am listening to it now. I have those speakers in my second system.

What are the 100s like compared to the RX1s? I had a touch of Gear Acquisition Syndrome and was looking tentatively at modern bookshelf speakers just to see what is available 15+ years after I got the RX1s.

Moon Safari is a great album. It sounds like a silly statement for an Electronica band, but it really does seem like an album that wants to be analogue.

My 100's are a few years old but they are excellent speakers I wouldn't change them. The RX1's are also excellent speakers they got demoted to another system not that they are bad very far from but the 100's did cost quite a lot more so there should indeed be a difference. I like MA speakers I got some Bronze 2 but sent them back as they are not in the same league and sounded quite tinny by comparison. The Moon Safari is indeed a brilliant album.

1987 / 8 was Carlos at his peak as far as his guitar playing goes in my opinion playing very bluesy stuff at that time.

To be fair I much prefer his earlier work.

To be fair I much prefer his earlier work.

He was a bit reckless in the beginning around the Woodstock era made a lot of mistakes notes wise in concert lucky he had good band backing him up. He took a while to get his mojo and a lot of band changes happened because of that. I saw him live at Wembley arena in 2003 and instead of playing music he was giving political sermons in between songs which really spoiled the show in my opinion although I do like Santana music and have quite a lot of their music like yourself I prefer their earlier stuff. When Gregg Rolie and Neil Schon left to form Journey Santana's music changed it was after all Gregg Rolie who said to Carlos lets record Fleetwood Mac's Black Magic Women which in fairness is one of their biggest hits. Sorry for the sermon.
