A great many women are very definitely not better than nothing.:rolleyes:

Even if she last smoked over an hour earlier, the nasty smell lingers.:(

While finding the right woman and starting a long-term relationship is the eventual goal, I am all for a cheap thrill in the meantime.:D

If you want truly neutral speakers, you could try professional studio monitors. Of course, these are not designed for looks.

It makes all the difference because, in sharp contrast to the tuner section in a receiver, a tuner sold separately will be anything but an afterthought! If I cared about radio at all, I would get the Cambridge 340T.

I am betting that a lot of that performance is the result of it being a separate, dedicated tuner. One of today's separate tuners would likely be even better.

I want seats dead center, not on the floor, and as close as possible within those limitations. My HT is how I like it for movies, concerts just come along for the ride. How could it be set for a particular seating preference anyhow?:confused: Most concerts are filmed with multiple cameras in...

Maybe so, but finding her is another matter entirely (especially since I am currently living in Redneck Central.)

The other side of the coin is that insisting on a perfect match in every way drops the probability of finding someone to near zero. This may be why I have been alone a long time. (FWIW, my relationship with my first girlfreind, a loooong time ago, ended when she got brainwashed by one of those...

I don't know if anyone has them in a showroom. Wild West Audio sells them, and you could return them if not satisfied (I predict you are more likely to keep them, though.)

It is only a pre-screening process. It is worthless without an in-person meeting as a follow-up (which, as mentioned, hasn't happened yet.)

If she happens to smoke, she is not the perfect woman (regardless of how perfectly we might match otherwise.) As I said, I am fine with her going to church, as long as she does not expect me to do so.

Goody Two Shoes suggests staying clean as a matter of morality. I don't see drinking/dope as inherently wrong in that sense (except when they lead to violence), merely wrong for me and something I prefer not to be around any more. Smoking is simply a massive turn-off.

This is the one good thing about the internet dating service. Those issues can be screened for in advance. (Nothing wrong with spiritual, it is organized religion I dislike.) Religious is fine, but I weed out the ones who say things like "must love Jesus" or "God is an important part of my...

I was actually referring to optimizing placement of just two speakers (I didn't make that clear.) There is a distance from the walls that gives the best balance between bass strength and bass clarity. There is also a best relationship between speaker position and seating position for imaging...

Actually, I am not politically active enough to consider politics an issue in a relationship. Religion isn't an issue either, unless she wants me to go to church with her.

Sometimes smokers at work need something from me. It is all I can do not to gag while they are in my office. She could look like Rachael Wiesz, but if she smokes it is a no-go.

Every change in speaker placement effects the sound. Sometimes is is an obvious change, other times subtle, but there is always some difference. For a given room and a given pair of speakers, is there any method (other than trial and error) to determine the ideal placement?:confused:

Even tougher is that the few teetotallers tend to be religious. Drinkers don't bother me though, provided it is in moderation (can't stand a lush.) Smoking is a deal breaker. The sexiest woman on the planet could offer me a date and I would turn her down if she smokes. (It is not just smoking...

Outstanding suggestion! If I am going to find a tee-totalling, Bush-hating, atheist, environmentalist anywhere, it will be there!:D
