Nate, have you tried the Sonos product? It looks like it has a "better" interface, but at a much higher price point. I haven't had a chance to try it.

I like the SB3 in principle and in sound. But I don't love the executiom. Specifically, I'm not a big fan of the interface on the SB3 end. I wish there weren't so many steps to go through/submenus/etc.

String cheese.

lol. +

I have not found them to be harsh. Thin, perhaps. Unresolving up top. All my listening has been under meet conditions, however, so this could be a factor in our different takes.

I bought a X-Can v3. I still don't know why.

I also disagree with Zanth's take on the GS1K. I feel like the GS1K is a "defensive" response from Grado. The GS1K, to me, seems to be a response to critics of the Grado house sound rather than a refinement and extension of it. I find the highs to be soft and unengaging (maybe due to Meet conditions, though). I don't know; the GS1K seems to lack cohesion. Does anyone know what I'm trying (maybe unsuccessfully) to say?

What speakers are you considering?

I recall Stereophile raving about the Onkyo, but can you find it for $350? I agree with Nate, if you up that budget to $500, you can get something like the Outlaw or a new NAD C-325BEE. I'm a big fan of the NAD (haven't heard the Outlaw). I'd be curious how the Onkyo sounds, though.

"Fracture"

"Old School"

Still one of my favorites.

Are they comfortable, Nate?

I'm out of order? This whole thread's out of order!

Sounds like you guys could use some sound legal advice. I have been thinking for some time that there is a niche to be filled by Voltron, Tyrion & The Monkey LLP.

Amp looks great. No nonsense. Bang your head!

Can anyone recommend a good beer of the month club?

What happened in that one?

x2, and a good incentive to consume the wine relatively quickly.

I plan to be there. Need to make my reservations...

Ah, I will second that one. Have always been a fan.

happy happy

You just did it, too.

Rush. And Yes. Ugh.

This, of course, is correct. As such, my cables are now all covered in genuine Corinthian leather.
