Good point. I don't see the need to actually shoot someone when simply aiming the gun at them and yelling "hands up!" can be as effective. If they refuse to obey, then it is time to shoot.

I have separate systems for music and HT. For me, they are very different experiences and have different requirements.

Assuming the AV-1s are about as good as it is possible to get within the limitations of driver size and cabinet size, I would suggest that they and the S30s are peers. (I keep wavering, though, because my Mirage 350s have that "big speaker sound" which I enjoy, but lack some of the detail and...

Although I have a really nice system, that is irrelevant here. Even someone with an above average HTiB (Onkyo, eg.) can tell you that Bose totally sucks.

It upsets me that the environment has been turned into a political issue at all, by either side. It is even worse that this political viewpoint is used to deny the truth. Environmental issues are real, they effect everyone, and nobody's beliefs or opinions are going to change that fact.

Entirely correct. Thank you for acknowledging that fact.:p

Bose is not "average". Their stuff is also cheap and poor like Coby, merely priced as if it were better!:eek:

My ears don't seem to care much about bass below about 60Hz or so. In fact, I have towers that go to 40Hz and it seems like too much bass in my room. That is why I am only looking at bookshelves. I am extremely happy with the sound of my S30s, which is why I am intrigued by the idea of...

I keep getting notices that say "The warranty on your vehicle is about to expire!" I bought my vehicle used from the owner, and it was not under warranty.:rolleyes:

No skills, no tools, and no workspace. (Besides, I looked at them and there is simply no possibility that they could outperform the S30s.)

Last night, for the first time, a classical CD held my attention all the way through. It was a Beethoven violin concerto performed by Anne-Sophie Mutter. I kid you not, that gal can play that fiddle!:)

I have decided that only approx. $1000/pr bookshelves stand a chance of outperforming my Cambridges. An ID store close enough to me for one-day delivery has Mordaunt Short Mezzo 2s and Wharfedale Evolution 210s in that price range (they also have Missions, but with less bass than the...

Same here. I always enjoyed my trips, and only quit when the paranoia started outweighing the fun. Sure I got freaked out a few times, but always knew I would recover.

I agree 100%. New-release DVDs sell for $19 or less, and older titles for $10 or less. BDs sell for $35 whether the movie is new or old ($25 is considered a good sale price!) Replacing only part of my collection is not an option, because watching BD would spoil me for SD. The players are also...

Those who express concern about Man's effect on the environment focus too much on global warming and miss the real issue. At the current rate of destruction, the rain forests will be gone by 2050. As in completely gone, and they don't grow back (the soil under rainforests tends to be poor, as...

One-bedroom apartment (and yes, it is all electric.) I always keep the temperature comfortable.

My electric bill was $53 this month. $40 is average.

I have never heard of a documented case of someone hurting themselves on it (unless they were doing something really stupid like driving), only anecdotes.

Certain drugs should very definitely be illegal because of their effects. These include tobacco, meth, and PCP. Marijuana, however, is really quite harmless. I also think that some drugs which are safe when used in the right circumstances should remain illegal because people use them in the...

Yeah. Tobacco is both severely addictive and fatal, but remains legal.:(
