The early adopters take the arrows! Thanks for paving the way for the rest of us

You're so right! I let my guard down once... That's why I'm sticking with 8-track tapes.
It's my wife's fault, that's right... it's her fault.

At the time it sounded like 1080p was far down the road. It was called the "Holy Grail" of plasma.

You can pick up a PS3 for about $300 from www.overstockdealz.com I got my second one from them and so far it's been perfect, came packed just like it was brand new.

When I sold the PS3 last year (man, it seemed like a long time ago!), my daughter was 5 yrs old. I let her play a PS2 game that I thought was simple (Pacman Kartrace?). But it turned out that she was not interested at all. That's probably the other reason I sold it.

Now if my daughter were to ask me today, "Daddy, could you please buy me a PS3?", I would order the PS3 in a heartbeat!

Attention Brian: Do not use that turntable on ANY vinyl that you VALUE. Not even once. I just realized that turntable has a non-angled cartridge mount in respect to the arm. This means the needle is at a considerable tracking error in any case, causing substantial damage to your records. In addition, this must(there is no option) cause substantial distortion. This player was designed specifically for scratch DJs - where no concern for the record being played is present. Please sell this immediately(preferably to a scratch DJ) and do not use it again unless you wish to cause damage to the vinyl.

I'm still very much into the 800's, but we're there's about $15-$20K difference in the setup I think. I think the Monitor Audiio's would be the next step. Plus they are just a beautiful speaker. I have to listen to them of cource, but they're on the wish list. My next speakers have to have some character. I don't want another set of rectangular boxes in my room. I want to see the speaker, but I want it to be a quality piece that's just as nice as nice furniture. Both the B&W and the MA's fit that bill I think. With the 7002's in the room it looks like a scene out of 2001!

I love them, don't get me wrong, but i want my next speakers to be something really special.

What happened to B&W 802Ds?

Have you gotten a chance to listen to them yet?

Save the money and go for the ultimate!

BTW, I noticed that Monitor Audio did not give a tolerance to the frequency response of that PL300 speaker (28 Hz - 100 kHz +/- ?? dB). For all we know it could be 58 Hz - 20 kHz +/- 3dB!

I don't know the Plat's pricing, nor everything involved in your $15-20k quote, but if I ever wanted 802Ds, I'd for sure get them used. If you are freaked out on buying used, I would just then wait until someone is close enough so you can pick them up in person. Here's one ad for example asking $8.8k. There's usually a pair for sale on the ads, unlike with some other models:

I was going with an entry level home theater maybe even as low as an HTiB but man am I glad I spent a lot more dough and got the system I have today and the best part....It will work wonders for up to 10 yrs
