We have tickets to the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona the 21st-23rd so those days will be F1 based. I've booked a private driver for a day trip to Ronda from Seville. I've also booked a private driver for Seville to Malaga and Toledo to Madrid. We have one train ride from Madrid to Seville and the rest of the travel will be by air.
I'm looking for dining recommendations. Tapas will be part of our dining as will the local mercado in each city. What I'm looking for are any restaurants that are must eats. TIA.
Nice speakers but that's a tough setup. The thing about bookshelf speakers is that they really aren't made to be on bookshelves plus putting them that close together?
Do it!
I got the NAD Masters Series M33 about a year ago and I am crazy about it. Tons of power, streams hi-res and looks great. I love the minimalist system I have now. M33, Dynaudio speakers and a turntable. Oh, and an 18" Triad subwoofer.
I have Audioengine A5+ as my computer speakers. They're fine but they are nowhere near the league of my (and your) Dynaudio speakers. I have Special Forty's. and love them.
Unfortunately that tweet didn't tell the whole story. A designated person can still contact the race director during the race. We just can't hear it anymore.

Less than $1000 out of pocket for all travel and accommodations. Spanish Grand Prix tickets will set me back another $1000. Just meals and incidentals left to pay for on the trip.
There is a limit. It can be expanded. My “limit” is now so high it scares me.
teenagers: There is no fucking way I’d put an Amex card in a teenagers hand. I will say that you can set limits for authorized users.
