I supported my way through college by having keggers and charging an entry fee. Some of my good friends are strippers and are the nicest people who earn good money. And working in a hospital you'l be amazed at how many good uses there are for illegal substances.

Not to continue the side-track but: I've dated more than one stripper, and met their friends. Until those experiences: I assumed that strippers ran the same gambit of personalities as women in general; if so all women are insane. Sadly, stripping also objectifies men; and after a while strippers seem to have trouble turning that off. Why I'll never let one I want to date give me a lap dance. If you know sane strippers, I want to hang out with you. I love a woman who knows her own sensuality.

ParadigmDawg Audioholic Overlord Nov 20, 2006 10,567 0 113 Hiding from Alex Dec 8, 2009 #93 It should and eveything I know says that...but... Warp and I both went through this with our own systems. I had sold my EMO and bought his Rotel. We were both without an amp for a week and used our AVRs (Denon3808 for me and Pioneer for him) to power our 100's. We both thought the speakers just sounded flat even at lower volumes. It shouldn't matter at low volumes but it did. Please note, we both have huge rooms (~8,000 cubic ft) so maybe "low" volume in our rooms is still pushing it pretty hard. Now at high volumes, no doubt about it, the 100's like a lot of power and they dip down in the 3ohm range. Give it a shot with just the AVR but get ready to add an external amp. clouso said: On a more serious note here..lol...paradigmdawg do you think my pioneer elite vsx92thx would be enough to drive the studio 100v5?..for your information its 130 watts per chanel.?..thx.
