So why did you buy them (especially four of them) in the first place? Did you not listen first?:confused:

That, of course, is the #1 objection to products made outside the US. Those paychecks and benefits are being taken away from American workers. What good are cheap products if outsourcing causes the economy to collapse and nobody can buy anything anymore?:(

I havent heard all the bands you listed, but Dream Theater, Spocks Beard, Porcupine Tree, and Kings X are all much, much slower and mellower than Dillinger Escape plan. In fact, I can follow everything they are playing and enjoy listening to them even with my adult tastes. By contrast, DEP is...

To me, a PS3 is a gaming machine, and all of its other features are secondary. If gaming is what you want, buy one. If audio/video are going to be the only applications, you can do better.

I haven't heard any, but the name doesn't sound promising.:eek:

Um, I think the request was for bands even faster/more technical than Dillinger Escape Plan.:rolleyes:

Good point. Even the cheap, entry-level Mirages that I have sound astonishingly good. I can only imagine what their OM flagships sound like. (Based on the price, these must be made from pure unobtainium.:eek:)

There were already enough pigeonholes to force people into way back when I was in high school. All these subgenres and sub-subgenres make things that much worse.:( Also, it forces bands to be more narrow in their approach. A band like BOC played a much wider spectrum of styles than a...

Released many, many years after the Steppenwolf song.

Ouch! That hurts just to think about.:(

That started with the line "heavy metal thunder" (referring to motorcycles) in the song Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf.

I tried listening to Dillinger Escape Plan and just couldn't do it. It sounded like jackhammers to me.

They won't like it a bit.:p One thing I noticed about the MB Quart bookshelves sold here is that they are relatively power hungry. 40 watts/ch is plenty to drive B&W 685s, but the Quart Alexxas list 70 watts/ch as a minimum.

Important: DO NOT attempt deadlifts or squats without a qualified trainer!! Trying to learn these from a book or video is a recipe for disaster. Nothing will destroy your back faster than a deadlift or squat without the proper form.

Everything you are saying remains true regardless of whether the subs are built in to the towers or in separate enclosures. Two subs are two subs, their location is irrelevant.

I work out regularly with weights (and ride a bike), but I find it hard to motivate myself to do back-specific excercises.

Correct. The built-in subs are supercubes, with the same fantastic performance as the stand-alone supercubes.

The one and only issue I have with pot has nothing to do with pot itself: Where it is found, other drugs are often found also, and these can be vastly more dangerous. One of the biggest concerns is someone buying from a dealer they don't know and trust, and getting pot laced with PCP (really...

They are also not designed to be seen without the socks, and look much better with them on IMO.
