| I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone If she comes home to clean your kitchen, she is a keeper. Better buy her a nice vacuum cleaner. | |

| My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system. Couple things you left out. I would mount all speakers on the ceiling, then you would have room for your new Samsung 145 inch TV set. | |
| BookShelf or Floor Standing Speakers After reading your thoughts on this, I have decided to go with a large, or full range book shelf. I have Dynaudio X18 book shelves now, but would like to purchase some better speakers. I am convinced to stay the course with bookshelves. I want ... | |
