| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? I take every opportunity at shows, stores, peoples houses, live venues, whatever to have opportunities to hear different things and what might sound or work best for me.

Cost will depend mainly on room size and bass levels desiredIf you seek the best sound... | |

| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? They should retain both views and not hinder their customers ability to sell by obscuring the thumbnail. That is very low end not high. All the competition even Craigslist shows thumbnail photos with no tampering. Makes the whole site look really ... | |
| What is the most important component in your system. No still the same F5s and content as a cat. Newer than many but not the newest. | |
| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? Where else can you find items selling for 5 or 6 digit prices that have most of the item's photo obscured by a useless fuzzed up frame. Just plain crazy. |
