I think that I used to post more in one day than the whole forum does now. I guess this place needs another post whore.
I wonder where LOTR is these days...
Members posted more about entry level and DIY in the past...Members like Andrew and Chris would create a stir with their creations as well as companies like Athena ,AV123, Ascend Acoustics, SVS & Hsu with there lower to mid level offerings . AV123 is gone (what a ride that was...) and so is Athena. Ascend's, SVS's and Hsu's focus (in the public eye) seems to be more about the their higher end offerings.
Remember all the treads about building systems on a budget? Guys that spent less than $600 on five speakers and then a Sub for $400 and a $400 receiver and getting a 50" TV For $1500 was a steal...Stands and mounts and wire and cables...When I first started on these boards that was huge money for most here.
It created a lot of conversations. All the conversation now is about tower speakers that start at $2000 a pair. If you can't afford that just get the Pioneers...
I feel it's less diversified here then in the past. Still a good amount of good people and good conversation but not like it was 6-7 years ago.
I'm gonna go back to recommending BIC just for the hell of it!
