I wouldn't say "cleaned up". Plenty of illegal drugs involved, especially Ecstacy (a relative of acid, but less potent.)

All this discussion of design subtleties makes sense if you are a DIYer, and trying to decide what to build. If you are just buying speakers, however, all that matters is how they sound to you.

My Boston Acoustics speakers replaced some significantly more expensive B&Ws, and I like them better. The prices they have been available for lately are an absolute steal. Of course, it is hard to go wrong with most of today's speakers. Aside from Klipsch (which I find too bright) and Bose, I...

I am anticipating a long weekend (both Friday and Monday off), so the week is dragging for me too.

Both of my brothers have musical talent (which I do not share), and we are sure that one has perfect pitch (the other has not been tested.) I love a good stereo, so maybe there is some connection there?

Those couples are welcome to stay far, far away from my apartment!:eek:

Now that was funny!:D

It has been so long since I was a kid that it is hard to remember what I saw back then. Flight of the Navigator was great, and I might pick up a copy now that you have reminded me of it. Others that I can think of include Willy Wonka (the Gene Wilder version) and Yellow Submarine.

I have been gradually cutting down on beer. My maximum in a given day is now 3 (and that is 3 wimpy 3.2% beers, not the stronger stuff they sell in Texas.:cool:)

Thanks. They are happy with the TV speakers, and I have my own system, so I think we will just leave well enough alone at this point. Not sure what the fate of the F1s will be (I could sell them, but they would be a pain to ship.)

I can't recall having seen a worse movie than Tideland. I am usually a Terry Gilliam fan, but I flat out couldn't stand that one.

On those rare occasions that I have had a really excellent piece of chocolate, I have enjoyed it. Beyond that, I don't pay much attention to it.

Why is this any funnier than, say, having an ice cream called "Cherry Garcia"? Naming foods after celebrities is such a common practice that there is really nothing funny (or even particularly interesting) about it. The organic angle makes sense also, given Mr. Gore's highly publicized...

Pretty much all speakers do.:)

Here is how things worked out: My neighbor to the side was playing his music loud (or rather his teenage son was.) The person above him came down and chastised him about it. This got me concerned about mine again, so I turned the sub down even more. At some point, I realized that it was no...

I have a couple of Knopfler CDs that I like, but not that particular one. I really enjoy the first Dire Straits album, but feel that they went downhill after that. I agree that Emmylou is seriously hot. IMO she looks even better now than when she was younger. She also sings like an angel.

One has to wonder what the reaction would have been if Lola had become, for example, a Mormon instead of Islamic. Personally, I don't believe in singling out any particular religion for special treatment. I disrespect them all equally.:)

Whatever you get, make sure it has decent batteries. I bought a cheap, off-brand one just to have entertainment during power outages (something that happened a few times last winter), only to discover that the batteries won't hold a charge for more than a few weeks. Since the concept was to keep...

That would require starting from scratch, as the Onkyo receiver is stereo and the HTiB reciever is a POS. Neither I nor they want to commit that kind of money, since they apparently don't care.:p

Like what? I am not aware of having any shortcomings.:cool:
