I think this is a hell of a thread Nrchy. It is too easy to let somone get you down on something. Alot of the time people seem o think they know what is right and wrong, and do not realize it is only thier opinion, not a fact. I used to have a sur...

Room Treatments, When are they required?

Funniest sales pitch
"Wife says this amp or she goes, nobody would take her"
