Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over
Just a personal story to share.  I was playing fetch with my dog one day and the ball went into the area where I had my setup.  The speakers I was listening to that day were 17 pounds each and on stands, of course.  So she chases the ball that had...

What rock song sounds the best on your system...
MC:  The Joshua Tree?   Really?  I've always liked the music on that album. But the recording is hideous. I've never heard that album sound good, anywhere.   And it ain't just me saying that.   I'll re-visit your other suggestions, since it's been...
