I have two pairs of stereo speakers that are each excellent in their own right (Mirage 350 towers and Cambridge S30 minimonitors.) The towers are capable of a larger soundstage, but do not image as precisely. They have deeper, more powerful bass, but not as tight and accurate. They have a wider...

No, but I think we can definitely make the earth uninhabitable for mankind. At the current rate of destruction, all of the equatorial rainforests will be completely gone by the year 2050, and most of the coral reefs will be bleached also. Do you seriously think that we will survive...

...the guy who tried to board a plane with the makings of a pipe bomb. His excuse was that he was planning to "show his friends back home" how to make one.:rolleyes: He will have the chance to make some new friends, now.

Extinction of the human species would be the best thing that could happen for all other living things. The way things are going, this may occur sooner rather than later.:eek:

Many speaker stands are fillable. Clean sand (or better yet, lead shot from your local gun store) can add a lot of stability.

First, soundstage and imaging are different (though related) concepts. A speaker may do one better than the other. Soundstaging is placing the sound in an ambient space, which might be a concert hall or an imaginary environment created in a studio. With live recordings, great soundstaging can...

We need to prove that we can avoid fatally screwing up this planet first. Otherwise, all we will do on a new planet is screw it up just as badly.

That is the silliest argument I have ever seen.:rolleyes: Newspaper articles don't kill people (no matter how badly written.) Guns in the wrong hands do.

Bose will probably get the contract for the sound system on the spaceship!:eek:

Talk about "different strokes"! Trying to picture something like that in my system makes me throw up in my mouth, just a little.:p

There are no local shops where I live, other than the aforementioned B&W outlet.

Nobody who is serious about owning and using guns safely should object to a very strict licensing process, as they are presumably willing to undertake the neccessary training. I also think that an in-depth background check and proof of mental stability (including lack of criminal tendencies)...

In an ideal world (which this is certainly not), we could pick and choose the areas in which to make progress. Think of how awesome it would be to have modern medical, entertainment, and communications technology without overcrowded cities, traffic jams, modern warfare, etc.

If I could see some way that going to Mars could improve the human condition, I would be in favor of it. I really don't, though.

I do enjoy the internet. As a draftsman, however, I would have much higher job satisfaction without AutoCAD. It may be slower, but there is something about drawing by hand, at a table, in pencil or ink that operating a mouse can never approximate. (I have no doubt that there are many other jobs...

I have these:http://www.wildwestelectronics.net/plateau-f-23-metal-speaker-stand.html and I love them. There is also a 30" model.

In a few months, I will be able to afford something in the $1500-$2000 range. The problem is that I can only afford one pair at that price, not two or more for A/B comparison. I also hate to make enemies of dealers by buying and returning several makes/models. The only really high-end speakers...

Electrons can see the arrow, so they know which way to flow? Give me a break!:rolleyes:

Wow. Just wow.:eek::confused::eek::confused::eek::confused: I guess you really are a caveman!

I agree 100%. Of course, solutions to all other problems, however effective, will be irrelevant unless we solve The Problem: Overpopulation. The planet can barely sustain the current population. If it doubles again, the ecosystem is almost certain to break down entirely.:(
