Outstanding Speakers, Outstanding
Is there an (800) number where I can call with my credit card details NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! 
Speed bumps as a cause of hearing loss.
This is absolutely right!!And although there is no known cure once you have driven over a speed bump and subsequently misaligned your inner ear bones, this debilitating condition is treatable through chiropractic therapy.Of course, only premium pr... 
Do you care about the LOOK???
Oh...and about the look of audio components, as well as watches.I would vote a resounding Y-E-S!!!!! for audio, for cameras, kitchen appliances, furniture....for that matter just about anything.Not to say that looks are everything, or that a beaut... 
Do you care about the LOOK???
I agree that Rolex is an amazingly powerful brand, which therefore means that their watches are overrated and overpriced.As a barometer of this situation, it is interesting to examine a really, really good fake Rolex.I used to make it a sport to s... 
Meditative Music for Quiet Concentration
RF SaylesI had a girlfriend once who thought Massive Attack was the perfect soundtrack for wild sex, something I don't normally associate with paying bills. But I do appreciate the suggestion.And interesting point on analogue vs digital, aside fro... 
First Generation iPod for Windows Hell Continued
Any new developments on 1st generation iPod use, please?Here is my latest hell:My VAIO crashed and I lost most of my computer music. Well, maybe I backed it up somewhere but I dont feel like digging it out. Then, my iPod died somehow erasing most ... 
Very BIG Room? Music and Home Theatre Challenge

Best Bargain on Wilsons: Which Model or Version?
EdwardsThanks - you are confirming my suspicions that although noticably better, the newer series WP's are substantially more expensive per unit of high end sound.17-20 years was a surprise to me.I used to enjoy a friends pair who purchased them c... 
Very BIG Room? Music and Home Theatre Challenge
WOWThanks for all the good info so far, gentlemen.Funny, my new room is 20x25 and it is starting to feel like a cramped, nearfield set up.I am thinking more and more that a bit of Rives type room consulting would have as much an impact on this ins... 
Bach Here Beatles There X-Box, Too PUHLEEZE.
LugnutAs usual, you make some excellent points.Maybe I am not looking at this correctly, but I always assumed that piling on additional features was cheap to manufacture and easy to hype.Only the XZY multi room system can do this and this and this... 
Very BIG Room? Music and Home Theatre Challenge
any comments on Wilsons for BIG rooms?...thinking Watt Puppies, not Max, or WHAMM or Alexandria or whatever.....and appreciate all the cautions about Maggies in a big room.However, would those concerns be mitigated somewhat by sitting closer to th... 
Bach Here Beatles There X-Box, Too PUHLEEZE.
NSgarchThanks. I do not have a computer in every room, but in any case, this is for a friend of mine who just might.It sounds like there is so much change going on with the PC/audio/video convergence that this is going to more confusing than ever.... 
is it a waste using just one channel out of stereo
Is this a trick question? 
Best CDs for vocals?
