S SJTrance Audioholic May 26, 2008 114 0 18 Manhattan, NY Mar 23, 2010 #5 Haha. Yeah, the women do like the pad, but I'm down to "womAn" at the moment...lol. Good thing is that she seems to like the setup and appreciates having a nice system. It seems like before she met me, she had never seen anything close to this nice...and it's even minuscule compared to some of the monster systems I've seen here.

BoredSysAdmin Audioholic Slumlord Aug 21, 2007 15,619 0 113 New Joisey Mar 23, 2010 #6 Kudos for nice wire management! However I don't get living in city, I'd rather have big house/car/dog/picket fence and "the goad fainter" sub in my living room, than dog house sized apartment, nosy neighbors and inability to crack my HT full blast.

Click to expand... Thanks. Living in NY like this is something that has to be experienced to be appreciated. It has nothing to do with your apartment, but with the type of people I've met over the years. I will say that it helps immensely if you're a young single male with a decent profession. I've had the house and everything in Houston, and I loved it, but it can never compare to the life experience and people I've met here in my 4 years here. Later, when I set up a family, I plan to move back to TX.

S SJTrance Audioholic May 26, 2008 114 0 18 Manhattan, NY Jul 14, 2010 #10 Thanks a lot for the compliments. Yesterday, I swapped out the PA-120 for a Hsu VTF-3 MK3 subwoofer and tucked it beside the couch. It completely changed EVERYTHING! LOL. I've been dying to get a nice sub for so long.
