Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
I consider myself lucky to be a favorite of the audiogod and they smile upon me daily. The downside is I think thier nemis is the car god and he doesnt like me receiving the extra attention and has become quite antaganistic towards me. 
Horrific Confession and Question
Many great responses especially Cogito and Fpeel. I think that you are right in that the person buying into Bose is buying into the hype. I also agree with the knowedge we have we do know they are mediacore. They do well against the products that... 
Question on "klipping'?
The amplifier controls moving the speaker in and out. When the amplifier gets overworked it pushes the speaker yet doesnt have enough power to pull it back. It is well explained above and not only does this happen with less power amps but I think ... 
Horrific Confession and Question
I think that just because Bose lies in there advertisment or have a huge markup because of reasearch and development doesnt mean it is a bad product. They may abuse there mark up but no more then any other mass market auddio product. I also think ... 
Horrific Confession and Question
I think one of the reasons you like the sound in the store is that it is from a multispeaker system. Its all around you no matter where you go. 
Tip on room lighting
On mine, a Marantz, I had to remove trim that clipped in then remove about ten screws. The screen and the protective screen were held together in a plastic sheath. It was very easy and I just looked to see how it was together as I went. It should ... 
Feelings on Napster?
I dont consider it stealing. If Napster supplied the music themselves then it would be. I agree this is a technacality but its an important one. 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
I think the difference is that being an audiophile is a very pasionate and creative hobby. I think the things you mentioned are related to status and image. Not that they dont share some characterstics but one is a lot more indepth then the other. 
Horrific Confession and Question
I think there is a huge allure to background music. I will never have a dedicated sound room because I use my system so much while doing other activities and pefer it in my living room. I use it when Im cooking, cleaning, drawing, or on the comput...

Tinnitus anyone?
I have bad ringing that comes and goes. When I am being lazy and not excersisng my blood pressure goes up and the ringing gets worse. If I am keeping in shape it will completely go away but it always gets its worse when I start to get into an exce... 
Tip on room lighting
I took your advice George and relctantly removed the plastic screen. The store I bought it from had told me to do the same but I have always been nervous about having the unprotected screen. I was blown away by the difference. Its even less grainy... 
Horrific Confession and Question
I know I will be crusafied for this but I dont think Bose is that bad. Especially when compared to other mass market products. I think you can do a lot better for the money in a high end store but there good for what they are. 
Your Best Moment of Audio Exuberance
In the late eighties after I graduated high school I bought a very nice GMC Jimmy. It was all kidded up with mags, brush bars, tinted windows and a $3000.00 stereo. Back then it was the best you could by. Alpine and ADS. I wired two monster house ... 
Why Is Krell the a bad work???
I havent heard Krell so I cant comment on it. I am curious though why people care about how many new models they come out with after they bought theres. I have seen this complaint often and I am just curious.
