    Rated bass vs. actual bass

    Looking at my Polk Monitor 50s next to my Mirage Omni 150s, one would expect them to have much more powerful bass (since they are much larger.) This impression is borne out by listening. Now look at the specs: The -3dB point of the Polks is 57Hz, while that of the Mirages is 55Hz. In other...

    Bands with two drummers?

    Blue Man Group has more drummers than I can keep track of. They are also touring this year, and it is an awesome show. (Bring your earplugs, though!)

    The Party

    I have seen it, but it was a long time ago. My memory of it is pretty fuzzy. I second Being There, an all-time classic. The Mouse that Roared was great, also.

    Are Avid speakers still made? If so, do their current products still rate a 92?

    Stupidest class of my life

    With a lot of very good reasons. (Starting a pointless war, sanctioning torture of POWs, destroying the budget that Clinton had balanced, and reversing decades of improvement in environmental policy, for starters.:mad:)

    Thanks, but there is nothing to excuse since I am right about that scumbag Bush.:)

    B&W Zeppelin Speaker System for iPod Review

    The signal coming from an ipod is inherently not audiophile-grade, or even close to it. The quality of the amp and speakers is irrelevant, as the end result cannot be good sound. Might as well get something much, much cheaper.

    Where did you get the impression that I was young? Sorry, far from it.:(

    Speaker Cones: What are the differences?

    Manufacturers would like you to believe that their cone material is somehow "special", but it never is. The overall design and build quality are far more important. A given material can be used well or poorly. Bose are junk because they are badly designed and badly made, not because they use paper.

    Please help: First time buyer of Def Tech speakers

    If you had asked this question prior to making the purchase, you might have gotten some good suggestions. Why does it matter now that the deal is done? FWIW I love my Def Techs.

    Dang. I thought you were going to tell us that "Hellboy and Christmas Balls" was the title of a new movie. I would watch it!:)

    The future of home audio? (Sooloos)

    I would probably pay $12K for her if I had it. By the way, what is that thing she is pressing buttons on?:D

    The government could give handouts from now until the heat death of the universe for less than that right-wing POS in the White House has wasted on his private oil war already.:(

    Stupidest class of my life

    That analogy makes no sense at all. How do 1) agreeing with Michael Moore, including his scathing indictments of Bush 2) pointing out that Bush sucks or 3) pointing out that Hilary was pretty cute once have any connection to claiming that a particular person could fix the...

    Stupidest class of my life

    I fail to see the objection. Michael Moore makes great, educational movies. If more people had paid attention to him, we would not be stuck with the absolute worst president who has ever disgraced the oval office. (Oh, and the only problem with Hilary is that she is getting old like the rest of...

    Do you?

    Although I cast a vote for banning him, I did so with a smiley. I am not actually in favor of banning anyone (far from being offensive, wildly off-base posts are entertaining!:cool:)
