| Free music from artists you've never heard before? I downloaded all of this stuff using Windows Media Player with NO problems whatsoever. A few others contacted me and said that they had problems using other types of media players, including the Soundclick MP 3 enhanced media player that they adve... | |
| Hand shaped single CD holder.Please,help to find. Tvad: I came home to find something similar near our HT system, which is the system that my girlfriend uses the most.

| Super long speaker cables Boy, i had to open my big mouth on this one, didn't i??? After typing out several different responses, i find it very hard to cover all of the bases in a "somewhat" easy to follow along with manner. I kept having to go back and alter / add bits of... | |

| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Hassel: i've heard both brands of speakers, but never with anything remotely resembling similar electronics or in the same room. As such, i'm no help there. Sean> | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Talk about a coincidence. The speakers in my bedroom system i.e. the time aligned mini-monitors, are very similar to the little Sequerra Pyramids. As mentioned, these are supplemented by two down-firing subs. That system is actively crossed and mu... | |

| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Opalchip: your comment of "the sound that I enjoy, which is very precise imaging with very minimal coloration" pretty much sums things up. That is, omni's / bipolar's / dipolar's, etc... are all going to produce an image that is more vague than a ... | |
| Roy from Green Mountain Audio on the Europas. According to what my Wholesale account sales rep told me at Parts Express, i was the first one to receive their 15" Titanic sub kit when it came out. It was not bad for the money, but can definitely benefit from some TLC during assembly. I posted ... | |
