What is Music?
Tonight I heard the U.S. premier of Anthony Cheung's Bagatelles (2014) for Piano Quintet. The piece is definitely not one where you are humming the melody afterwards. In a sense it was different...

Do a search on stereo repair in Miami and a few things show up. Ask around at your local stereo stores. Many stores farm out repairs to others.
