moving experience (literally) that

you could easily find yourself

shouting, “Amen, brother!” and

“Crank it up!”—even if you’re the

strictest of the Amish. In fact,

plunk the Pope down in front of a

pair of these mighty towers belting

“You and Your Folks/23

rd

Psalm,”

and it’s quite possible that he’ll

sign up on the spot to be a key-

note speaker at the next Southern

Baptist convention. These speak-

ers are that good.

I’ve always liked Definitive

Technology’s approach. They build

great-sounding speakers that ordi-

nary folks like you and me can

afford. Does that mean that, if you

own a pair of fine MartinLogan or

Sonus Faber speakers, you should

dump them at your next garage

sale and buy a pair of Def Techs?

Not necessarily. Does it mean that,

when you scrape together your

leftover cash (after you’ve paid for

day care, signed this month’s

mortgage check, filled up a gro-

cer y cart, and bought a DVD or

two) and buy a pair of Def Tech

speakers, they’ll sound as if you

spent three or four times as

much? Damn straight.

Most of us equate the word value

with mid to lower price points,

probably because manufacturers

promote higher-priced gear on

aspects other than value. That puts

the BP7000

SuperTowers in a

somewhat difficult

predicament. At

$5,000 per pair

($7,495 for the

home theater

system that the

company sent me),

the SuperTowers

are certainly up

there when it

comes to what ordi-

nary schmoes like

me can afford, so

I don’t know much about the

Blind Boys of Alabama. I assume

that these soulful gospel songsters

( being musical advocates of the

truth) are indeed blind, as well as

from Alabama. From the pictures

on their Higher Ground CD, it’s

pretty clear that they’re not boys.

However, since they’ve been

singing together for over 60 years,

they were no doubt qualifying

youngsters when the name stuck

for good. ( The Blind Boys-to-Men

of Alabama doesn’t have quite

the same ring, either.) What I do

know is that listening to Higher

Ready” and

“ The Cross”
