    Have any unreturned movies from that closed video rental store?

    Some time ago, I had to pay for two VHS tapes that I thought I had returned., but were reported lost. Eventually, I found the under the seat of my car: Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town and the Toxic Avenger. Of the two, I'd pick the Toxic Avenger. Just found out there was a sequel and that they...

    Matched Speaker / Tuner Combo Recommendation

    thx for the feedback. I live an a two level lofted apartment, so the system would be set up in a room about 15ft x 25ft (1/2 the room has a vaulted ceiling the other half is under the loft, if that makes sense). I'd be sitting about 10 feet from the speakers. There is carpeting on the floor. I'm...

    Goldenear AON 2

    I've been looking for some "bookshelf" speakers myself. While I didn't listen to them in the same room, I had the chance to listen to both the Aon 2 and Paradigm Studio 10.

    Matched Speaker / Tuner Combo Recommendation

    I'm looking to upgrade my stereo. Realistically, I can probably make due with two front speakers and a matched tuner (maybe add a middle speaker at some point). I watch a fair amount of movies, but really want great music sound from CDs and other digital music. If a hardrive can be plugged...
