What say you: Is this fair, or AITA?
Your product was discovered on Audiogon and were introduced to the buyer through Audiogon.You would never have sold the item at Axpona without Audiogon. This is what they do. Then you wanted to bypass them using their own forum.  Call them and t... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
@immatthewj   How ridiculous. Heck, even Bruce admits he dodged the draft. LOL  Go ask your best friend, Google... here's the answer... "Yes, Bruce Springsteen was a "stone-cold draft dodger" who avoided the Vietnam War draft. He admitted to usin...

@immatthewj  You are relying on Google AI too much. You don't know the entire story. military classification of unfit for military service, and as it applied to Bruce it was because he failed the physical. He failed not because of any 'physic...

@simao  are you kidding? He was born into a working class circumstance in New Jersey for God’s sake. And he busted his ass as a musician from the time he could play. I mean, it’s not Stanley Kowalski hauling meat up the stairs laborer, but that’s... 
What type of speaker would sound better?
@kofibaffour   #1 Plenty of speakers put out plenty of bass for a fraction of that cost. Higher end speakers have a lot of attention/money go into the cabinet design to make it attractive to the buyer. This expensive appearance doesn’t really do...

Springsteen... "Born to Run" ... Run from the draft is what he did.. He makes up songs about the plight of the working class but never worked any job for one day in his life. Now he tries to be politically relevant. Even his own father couldn't st... 
"IN THE BEGINNING" Audiophilia!
Fantasic! Nothing has changed except back then, almost everyone smoked.  The opening scene is the early invention of the portable 'boom box'. I remember a guy who put a record player in his car in the early 60's. Great stuff!  
Subjective vs. objective? Or subjective and objective?
@bolong   I had a dog named 'Blackie'. Brings back memories. Not good memories. I think he was retarded. Subjective opinion. I tried to like him but ended up hating him. I can't remeber what happened to 'Blackie'.     
Flatscreen between speakers
#1 on the barn door. Smallest wheels possible. A drapped fabric of some sort would be a hassel. I would suggest going to Jo-ann fabrics where they sell a foam backed BLACK matte fabric and glue it to the sliding doors.(spray glue) The matte black... 
Subjective vs. objective? Or subjective and objective?
Interesting video. Oblective measurements can be very helpfull as he points out. I think most people would agree. I would not buy any speaker without looking at the objective measurements. However, I'm not convinced that the sound can change that... 
Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist

You’re frustrated, and you’re certainly entitled to leave if you feel the conversation isn’t worth your time. But calling others’ posts “rambling” or accusing the forum of having “zero conceptual discipline” doesn’t exactly invite better dialogue ... 
What type of speaker would sound better?
@kofibaffour  Thanks!  Amazing. Palessi. LOL.   I look at high end audio speakers that cost as much as a luxury car and I have to ask why? The car is incredibly more complex to make, has thousands more custom parts. Shipping cost, dealer showro... 
What type of speaker would sound better?
There is a myth that many people believe. "If it costs more it must be better."  Because the speaker is $5k doesn't mean it sounds better. In fact, there are marketing strategies used to trick the puplic by simply raising the price on an item to...
