I got cash. (Almost enough to replace the windshield that I broke by being an idiot.)

Why would I need to merely imply that Christianity is "hogwash" when I have no problem with simply stating outright that it is? Nothing could be more offensive or disrespectful than when Christians say "I'm sorry" or give me that sad look because they just know I am going to hell (presumably...

Yes, that's what I meant. The Monitor 50s make pretty good surrounds (although, as I have mentioned elsewhere, I don't think that the quality of surrounds is at all critical.) In spite of having a 10" driver, the PSW10 only makes it to 40Hz -3dB.

I concede that point. If you had simply continued wasting your time by praying for we active unbelievers and not said so in writing, I would never have known it and therefore this conversation would not be happening. (Also, how can you construe stating the fact that "there is nothing to be...

More humor! Gotta love this thread.:)

Approval or disapproval is not the point. The possibility of someone not knowing that he was gay after watching him is what I find hilarious.:) (Oh, and it is American society as a whole that disapproves of gays, not me. Some of my best friends are gay.)

But, as I mentioned, the BP8Bs extend a full octave lower than the Polk sub. I am not using the sub, because it would be a step down in bass impact compared to the 8Bs on their own!:eek:

Now that is funny!:p

I am using a classic Carver integrated from the early '90s. To get separates that sound better would likely cost more than I am prepared to spend. (Plus the Carver is "semi-separate", with an external connection from pre-outs to main-ins.) (The biggest surprise is that the 8B/Polk combo handles...

"Dude, check out these killer ferns!" "Whoa! Pass the bong, those ferns rock!":D

I was going to start a new thread, but this one comes close to addressing my concerns. I am thinking of upgrading from my 34". My viewing distance is currently 5', and cannot be increased by much. How much bigger would I have to go for the improvement to be really spectacular (and not leave me...

I have heard systems in which the surrounds are as good as the mains (or nearly so) and systems with great mains and much lower quality surrounds. Frankly, I was hard-pressed to hear much difference. I think that almost all of the "character" of the sound is provided by the mains (and center if...

I have always thought it was funny that some people didn't know that, whhen he was always blatantly obvious about it. (Being the leader of an all-male band called "Queen" was the first clue!:D)

Exactly. Praying for we heathens is showing disrespect because it is applying your beliefs, which we do not accept, to us. It also suggests that we have some sort of "sin" that requires forgiving, when we have not in fact done anything wrong (this is what makes it insulting.:() (Oh, and we also...

From a purely musical/SQ viewpoint, it is great. The lyrics, however, are just too dark and depressing. When Waters sang "...and you'll never see their smiling faces anymore" with the voiceover of the two frightened kids saying "Mommy! Daddy!" he completely lost me.:(

Exactly. And with Def Tech BP10Bs (for example), listening proves that they have extremely deep, powerful bass, whatever the exact numbers may be.

Over the long weekend, I moved my Def Tech BP10Bs into the stereo (and spent the time necessary to fine-tune the placement), replaced them with the 8Bs in the HT, and am using the Polks as surrounds. The Polk sub is in the closet because both pairs of Def Techs have significantly deeper bass on...

The reason for this is simple. Krall is part of a subgenre of jazz musicians setting out to appeal to the mainstream of pop/rock listeners, not "purists" such as yourself (and she has succeeded in this regard.) The audience for natural sounding jazz has been very small for decades. If you want...

It was supposed to have been about anti-political/religious/racial ideas. How did it end up being about fish?:confused:

And if it is not, then what? Can it be fixed for a reasonable price (where reasonable=small fraction of replacement cost)?
