    Who's making all these drivers?

    They are truly stunning speakers, especially for the size and price. Unfortunately, I am still torn. My Mirages have a "big speaker" sound that no bookshelves can emulate, along with unique soundstage/imaging. On the other hand, the Cambridges are superior in many ways, especially detail and...

    Smart Cars

    My biggest issue with tiny cars is living in a city full of people who drive SUVs and pickups. The average redneck driver here will run over a tiny car and think "was that a speed-bump?":eek:

    When is justice to be served?

    And I am equally tired of hearing right-wing horseshit, especially attempts to justify a war that cannot be justified.

    When is justice to be served?

    Changing a LOT would be a good thing. Things need to be run as much differently from the current administration as possible.

    Which Home Theater Magazine?

    Bad analogy. The post office in no way endorses junk mail by delivering it. Magazines do endorse cables by giving them a positive review. In many cases it is the same reviewer who will provide an opinion about a speaker. Accepting their conclusions is like taking a movie suggestion from someone...

    When is justice to be served?

    Why should I bother giving you a well-researched answer when this is your attitude? (Republicans are blind and have no memory, which is why I gave up trying to convince them of the truth years ago.)

    When is justice to be served?

    Bush is such a total loser that that should have been sufficient!:eek:

    Which Home Theater Magazine?

    Simple. To review exotic cables is to imply that they make a difference. This completely undermines the magazine's credibility.

    When is justice to be served?

    This country has never been less safe and secure than during the Bush regime. Of all the shrub's many offenses, the worst was adding insult to injury by refusing the offers of cooperation extended to the US by many other countries after 9/11. Imagine how much more safe and secure we would be if...

    When is justice to be served?

    Good idea. If Haraldo's posts are any indication, Norway has the right ideas.

    When is justice to be served?

    I felt betrayed the day that the American people re-elected the shrub, in spite of the obvious damage that he caused in his first term. If there had been a time when I wanted to be involved in politics previously, that would have ended it. Suddenly, it felt like living in a foreign country.

    When is justice to be served?

    Nobody could be worse than the idiot we have now. Even some random bum off the street would be an improvement. Which democrat wins is not as important as getting rid of the republican administration (and lets go for a democratic congress also, while we're at it.:))

    Who's making all these drivers?

    One of the reasons my Cambridge Audio speakers are so excellent is that the drivers were designed by them from the ground up. No off-the-shelf components here.

    Which Home Theater Magazine?

    If a magazine contains a review of an exotic cable or a component rack, I cannot take anything else they say seriously, either.:rolleyes: These days, that pretty much rules them all out.

    Well, yeah. That's not saying much, though.:)

    Like I said in the opening post, I only believe it based on direct experience.

    Smart Cars

    People are buying them for the mileage. The problem is that my old Subaru Justy got better mileage for less money, had more interior room, and didn't look any worse.

    I wouldn't have believed it, but...

    If we were discussing a situation in which a wrong decision would be costly, that might be worthwhile. It is too much effort merely to confirm or deny a simple observation about something I already own.

    I wouldn't have believed it, but...

    The Plateaus (the better sounding ones) are about an inch shorter. This places the tweeters slightly below ear level, while the Omnimounts place them exacly at ear level. Both the risers and the bases are about 4 or 5 times heavier on the Plateaus.

    I wouldn't have believed it, but...

    Under no circumstances could any speakers wired by me be out of phase.:rolleyes: That is a noobie mistake, and stereo has been my hobby for decades.
