| A step to the side- Smart TV question I’ve a Samsung UN65xxxx and it’s awesome. 4k streaming movies look superb. Netflix and Prime etc. built in. And it only cost around $500. You don’t need to spend more. I've a LG upstairs and the Samsung blows it away. | |

| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? I tried low-balling a house for sale that was 40% cheaper 2 years ago. Realtors Inc. conspired to increase home prices by ludicrous amounts after Covid. Needless to say, I got no reply. | |
| Herbies tube dampers @tattooedtrackman There's no stopping Herbie. | |
| Who to trust when buying vintage ss ? @tonydennison Without getting into the nitty-gritty, you need twice the power to get a 3dB increase in perceived sound volume. The corollary is that at 30w, you'd take a -3dB hit. To get twice as loud (+10dB), you need ten times the power. Anyhow,... | |

| Raven Osprey Sonics But With More Power 94dB. Just how loud are we talking about here?! Have you considered a pair of subs? | |
