    Pursiung the truth of the highest high-end

    I am a total unbeliever in "high-end". I think that with smart shopping, a person can assemble a system for a moderate price that is as good as most ears can appreciate. My HT and stereo were $2300 and $1600 MSRP, respectively (I paid quite a bit less), and both sound awesome to me.:cool:

    would you purchase a floor model sub from bestbuy?

    Often, when visiting BB, I will hear rafter-rattling bass from someone "testing out" (more like maxing out) one of the subs. I would not want to get one that has been treated that way.

    America's Unchallenged Youth...

    To clarify that the disrespect that other countries have for the US is not simply jealousy or pettiness, but justified by the public face that we collectively present.

    America's Unchallenged Youth...

    Is that surprising? After all, we elected GWB (aka the village idiot) twice!:eek:

    America's Unchallenged Youth...

    My dad has a great quote lamenteng "the state of today's youth". Leave out the references to technology, fast food,and America and it sounds just like the OPs rant. It was written around 300 BC!:cool:

    Why is Sony rarely discussed?

    I have been very happy with my Sony DVD player, and their TVs are great. The last time I tried one of their receivers, however, I found it to be underpowered (in the sense that it was rated at 100 watts/ch but ran out of steam well before the 50 watt/ch Onkyo that I replaced it with.)

    Ok guys... how about a list of Bookshelf $500 or less

    I am blown away by the sound quality of my Mirage Omni 150s, and they were only $140 (half-price) at Vanns. A bit bass-shy, but awesome with a sub.

    For the first time ever, I am enjoying a sub.

    Yeah. Like I said, the limitations of the Polk are a good thing for me. It is about as much as I can get away with.

    Leftist GWB to freeze Mortage Rates?

    If all republicans were more like you and less like Buckeye and/or GWB, I would probably get along with them just fine.

    Athena Audition comparison?

    Who else but Canadians could have invented a sport as exiting and action-packed as curling, eh?:cool:

    Leftist GWB to freeze Mortage Rates?

    Libertarian=almost as far to the left as possible. Any farther left would be anarchy. Republicans like GWB would love nothing more than to see the Bill of Rights abolished and to do away with personal freedom. Republicans persecute those who they see as having the "wrong" religion (eg...

    Leftist GWB to freeze Mortage Rates?

    It is so simple that even you might be capable of understanding it: Voting for someone who cannot win is effectively throwing a vote away. I would rather use it for a democrat who stands a chance of winning, as this improves the odds of not getting stuck with another 4 years of worthless...

    Leftist GWB to freeze Mortage Rates?

    I have considered joining the libertarian party. The problem with that is that they never win any major elections.

    Harry Potter 1-5 Gift set

    The only way that I would buy them in a box is if it was all of them (1-7.) Since I don't have the patience to wait for that, I have been buying them one at a time (for $14.99 each.)

    Detailed sound

    I have never thought that uncolored sound per se was important. I just don't like things that add (unintentional) noise and/or distortion.
