| Best New speaker under $5000 All I can say is I recommended the Sonogram to A'gon members immediately upon my return form the show. By "in your face" I meant it's virtues were immeidately appearent when you walked in the room. The more "laid back" speakers require you to sit ... | |

| How to reply to questions about stereo cost? How did you get your wife to agree? I sold her the video tape of her making out with the cable guy. | |
| Cable Elevators If I paid a $100k for cables I wouldn't put them on the floor. IMO any cable that is affected by it proximity to any non magnetic or electrical objectt is insufficienlty insulated. | |
