| Why so many amplifiers for sale? Kt_88, try being thankful for what you have. That frame of mind goes a long way in ending an unsatiable desire for more and more, IMHO.As Americans, we have so much in the way of material stuff. But as you note we still aren't satisified. I don't ... | |

| $100 Challenge: Build this system Aiwa XR-EC12 was their finest mini and $80 on Ebay on closeout a while back. Got it for my girlfriend and she's pretty happy with it.After the $300 Denon UD-M31, the Aiwa is my favorite mini. | |

| avoiding component purchase mistakes: part 1 "there is a relationship between personality and preference for sound"And that is?????????????Any examples Mr. T?Eg:Pushy people like lots of bass.Analytical people prefer metal drivers.Liberals go for planars.Conservatives go for the "button down... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed Whatever happened to this speaker? Big news splash with sexy models and all. Are they even still in business? | |
| Audio Debt? Like drinking and gambling, have to know your limits. | |
| Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.? Loontoon, another option is Triangle speakers with Onkyo amps. The trick is to mount the system upside down.So instead of being excruciatingly bright, the sound will be very bass heavy with little H-F energy. Don't know why more people don't do th... |
