    L. Ron Hubbard/Lovecraft/Scientology

    Please try reading with comprehension next time.:rolleyes: No, what I am saying is that the baptist churches in Oklahoma (as well as parts of Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas) are of a different, far more rabid variety that the ones you see elsewhere in the country, including Florida. Remember the...

    Congrats! (I do hope you haven't been gone more than 7 weeks!:D)

    L. Ron Hubbard/Lovecraft/Scientology

    Yes I have, and yes I have read the bible (as I said, being fiction, it has never "saved" anyone.) I am, of course, referring to the "charismatic" evangelical baptists. This is not all baptists by any means, but it is what you will find in the scary, stadium-sized churches here that I mentioned...

    Ascend Acoustics Seirra-1

    I would like to sell those Omnis, but packing/shipping is a big concern. If you would like the drivers and crossovers only, PM me with an offer.:cool:

    L. Ron Hubbard/Lovecraft/Scientology

    The things that they preach include: 1) Science is wrong, and evolution in particular is a plot by the devil. 2) All non-Baptists are going straight to hell. 3) Prayer will solve real-world problems, including cancer. 4) There is no reason to try to improve the world, because the apocalypse is...

    L. Ron Hubbard/Lovecraft/Scientology

    Actually, I find the numerous stadium-sized Baptist churches in my area equally scary.

    Best male singing voice ever...who has it?!

    I still think Neil Diamond has the best voice. (The material and the act are another matter, of course.:))

    Best male singing voice ever...who has it?!

    Hmm. That would make an interesting duet!:p

    Ascend Acoustics Seirra-1

    When I get new speakers, the absolute last thing I want to do is rip them open and start messing with their insides. I figure the company that makes them is way more qualified than I am to decide how they should be made!:eek:

    Monster Cable Sues Blue Jeans Cable

    I emailed them. I said it was like watching a bully pick on a kid half his size.:mad:

    Monster Cable Sues Blue Jeans Cable

    I don't understand what Monster is defending. None of their technologies are unique that I am aware of. This is like McDonalds suing somebody for selling hamburgers.

    Ascend Acoustics Seirra-1

    At one time, I was considering those. They are power-hungry, though, and would therefore require a new amp (my 40 watts/ch is less than their recommended minimum.)

    Opinions needed

    Since you've got them, why not listen to both? (Or did you actually mean "thinking of getting"?)

    MFSL readies The Pixies "Doolittle" for SACD release

    How, precisely, did you get from my simple observation that "SACD is dying or dead" to the conclusion that I hate SACD??:confused: This is equivalent to hearing me say "that dog is dying" and concluding that I hate dogs!:p The format has not caught on sufficiently to become widespread, is all...

    Any Grateful Dead fans out there in audioholic world?

    I am a huge fan of Mickey Hart's solo stuff. Some of their albums are pretty good, but I never them live (which I have been told was much better.)

    Mordaunt Short and Wharfedale

    Conclusion: the S30s are still better (and no obvious lack of bass, either.) I am more convinced than ever that I would have to spend a lot more to do any better, and no guarantee even then.

    L. Ron Hubbard/Lovecraft/Scientology

    I would certainly not be surprised if the bet turned out to be true. Remember that Hubbard was first and foremost a science fiction writer. The pseudo-religious garbage came much later. While Scientology itself is no more irrational than any other religion, it excercises a level of control over...

    about Athena AS-B2.2

    Whatever you decide, act soon. Athena has been shut down, so no telling how long their speakers will remain available.

    First Outdoor Ride of the Year

    I never commuted on the POS Huffy mountain bike, but I did do a fair number of 50+ mile rides on it (I was underemployed at the time, as well as living in Oregon, which is exceptionally bike friendly.) Some serious climbs, too (eg gaining 1,000 feet in 1 mile of road in high gear with a 25 lb...

    Quick Poll

    It all depends on how much you like games. Not being a gamer myself, I would have no use for a PS3.
