I think so, yes.

I have always believed that the real reason pot and acid were outlawed had nothing to do with their effects on health. I think it was because people who used them tended to reject the status quo, seek out alternative lifestyles, and protest the war. The government found this threatening, and...

Yes, let's ban LSD, barbituates, and amphetamines. Oh wait, that has been done. Never mind.:rolleyes:

Ugh. Please, I am about to go to lunch!:( I have always followed an old french saying: (rough translation) "more than a handful is a waste.":)

Quite a deal on those BP7006s. Def Tech's website lists them at $1300/pr.

I hadn't noticed that before. That's pretty good.:p

Do you merely want loud bass, or do you want good bass? There is a huge difference.

All of the ID brands have rabid fanboys. I suspect that many of these are paid advertisers, rather than real consumers.

Forget "medical marijuana", just legalize the stuff for everybody. It is far less harmful than alcohol or cigarettes, which are both legal. Also, having it readily available might deter kids from turning to vastly more harmful substances out of desperation for "a high, any high."

The only people I have met who care at all about Blu Ray or HD are serious videophiles, and let's face it, they are very much in the minority. Most people feel that standard DVD is plenty good enough (I certainly feel that way.) I also think that the sentiment expressed by my parents is common...

But what is "right". Isn't an actual performance (presumably unamplified) as "right" as it is possible to get, almost by definition?

What does an appeal for funds by a reader-supported magazine have to do with the cold war?:confused: Was it, perhaps, the actual content of the magazine that you meant to link to instead?

I keep going back and forth between two pairs of speakers that ech have their own assets but are quite different from one-another. One is a pair of omnipolar towers with a huge soundstage and powerful bass. The other is a pair of tiny monitors with laserlike imaging precision and seemingly...

Including the TV, my HT cost $3000. It has remained unchanged for 8 years, and the only change I foresee making in the future is a larger TV. All told, I have spent considerably more on my stereo, because I change it frequently (that may be ending though, as I am extremely happy with my present...
