| Most annoying song, period. Mitchagain, Wow...I had completely forgotten The Pipkins: Gimme Day Ding. (Probably suppressed it).The disgust for the song was only rivaled by the shame of remembering the words.Can't believe that they used to play that on the radio all the time!... | |

| Which Stands for Magnepan LRS (and other models): Mye, Magnariser, Sound Anchor, etc I retired my old smg’s because the sweet-spot was just too small, and the stands pointed them upwards.
