    I wouldn't put $1.oo in the hands of that crook, it I could help it.

    Welfare for the rich - $700 billion bailout

    Replace the word "us" with "bad investors", and you are right.

    There is a difference, though. Reagan did nothing to contribute to the ending of the cold war. Bush, on the other hand, has been actively bankrupting the country by means of his endless, useless war. (Also, Clinton's policies directly contributed to economic health.)

    Orb Audio Orbs vs. Mirage Nanosats Comparison

    Whoa, the Nanos only reach 110Hz? Good lord, that means the crossover has to be set to at least 130Hz, and probably higher! Running two subs in stereo seems like the only way that that could sound good.

    How are Nanosat, Nanosat Prestige, and Omnisat different from each other?

    Reagan had nothing to do with ending the cold war. The Soviet Union crumbled as a result of its own problems. Reagan merely happened to be in office at the time.

    I have to agree with Alex on this one. This place does seem pretty skewed to the right. As for Economics, the last president who maintained a strong economy and a balanced budget was Bill Clinton. (He even left a surplus, which the Republicans promptly spent.) By contrast, it was Reagan who...

    Why can't I decide?!

    Plugging the ports on the Primus 250s did not work, or rather it worked too well. Instead of attenuating the bass, it eliminated it. I realized last night that they sound good with most material most of the time. It is only on unusually bass-heavy passages that they become boomy, and I can live...

    Why can't I decide?!

    I have heard many, including several that are drastically more expensive than the S30s. (Among them the highly reviewed B&W CM1s, which cost more than 4X as much and do not sound as good.)

    Why can't I decide?!

    Oh, I agree that the Primuses are mediocre. The Cambridge S30s, however, are merely small (with the physical limitations that that implies.) They are as good as any speakers their size on the market, at any price.

    Why can't I decide?!

    ...and a PC. (Note: at my current rate of spending, saving $2000 would take 10-12 months!)

    Why can't I decide?!

    You have been invisible for months. Today, I decided to try taking you off of ignore, in case you said something useful instead of the rudeness that landed you there. Fortunately, you did (in theory.) Not sure how useful it could be to me, though. I know nothing about mapping room response, plus...

    Why can't I decide?!

    At this point, I only have two pairs of speakers (not counting the ones in my HT, which I have been 100% satisfied with for many years.) The bigger ones can only be sold to a local buyer, because shipping would be prohibitive. I would be surprised if I could get more than $250 total for both...

    Why can't I decide?!

    What's the point of your post? Yes, I am flip-flopping. That was the point of the thread, to ponder why I can't make a permanent decision. If you are going to bother responding, at least address the specific question I asked: Would plugging the ports limit bass output, thus improving my...

    Hey everyone, Im back.

    We didn't know you were gone. In fact, we didn't know you were here in the first place! Anyhow, welcome back!:D

    boston acoustics

    I had never heard a Boston speaker that I didn't like, until the Horizon series. The degree to which those suck is simply astonishing (especially for the price!) Hard to believe it is even the same company. Pretty much any of their other models would be a good choice (probably their best ever...

    Why can't I decide?!

    Flip-flopping again! Part of me has started missing the Infinities. At first, I thought it was just a matter of bass (so that adding a sub might solve it.) I have come to realize, however, that I also miss the stronger vertical component of imaging, the more lifelike dynamic range, and what I...
