HAVE A REALLY GREAT BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

DUCKS VS. RED WINGS

World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC)

So is this amp based on the one Bozebuttons uses? ES-1 and SDS-XLR in one box sounds like a winner to me.

I think they are the most capable dynamic phone out there.(by a wide margin) And second best all round phone next to the HE90. My opinions are formed when paired with either the SDS-XLR or decked out SDS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Yeah your right. I guess I should change the caption and motto to "Dont sniff the shitty drawers"

Yeah I know what you ment about the value of the allstar game. He has had the Thrashers number since day one. the caps are playing really good right now. No reason they shouldnt overtake both the thrashers and the Canes.

Remember this site's motto is "Question Authority"...

Plus hes missing a front tooth. Your right. Hes a better all around player than anyone the Thrashers have. kovachuk still doesnt have a clue, and Hossa doesnt want to be here. This team is in trouble.

We will see how he does at Philips tomorrow night. If hes the player in that crowd, I will concede to your wishes.

Sometimes we like to disagree even if we have the same opinions.

What was that shipping address again??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and welcome to the 50 plus club!

Did you get to spend any time with either the new Capitole reference or Prestige SACD player?

When I bought the Prima SE DAC it was $700.00 more for the SE model.

Going through season one of Jericho again.

Hello...My name is Tom, and I am a fanboy. Thiel Singlepower Dynavector Oh and my perfect wife Lyra of course.

How did the X03SE compare to the other players?

I have heard and been enjoying high end two channel since my first good sysem in 1973. I would not have the $$$ it would cost for a benz invested in my system now if I have not been moved by what it can do for me. I have a system that does it on a daily basis in my house. Your statement was that no HT can ever come come close to good two channel. Your wrong. Does it take 5.1 or 7.1 for great music. No. Can you have a home theatre that can double for music on the same level as great two channel. Yes.

The one who needs to get out and listen is you. I have owned and had the pleasure of spending time with some of the best audio 2-channel systems out there over the last 30 years. I have also in the last year listened to music and watched music DVDs on three 7.1 systems that are nothing short of stunning. So just because you have not heard a multi channel system that can compete with the high end two channel does not mean they are not out there.

Not true. No, make that so, so, so, so, not true.

I'll still buy a pr.(probably wont use them unless something in my speaker system goes down) if they come out with a new model over the 650.

I am also a big fan of the Quatros. I dont think they are as detailed or have a better soundstage than the 2.4s. Overall they are warmer and the stage is set back more behind the speakers. I have not heard any Vanndys that are as resolving as the Thiels. I have yet to listen to any speakers that I like the imaging, and soundstage better than the Thiels or the Quatros and 5As. The Quatro have depper bass but I dont think its as integrated as the 2.4s. Not sure about the brightness you heard. But I would think the electronics played a big part. I have always found the weak link of the Thiels to be a slight hardness in the extreme upper midrange. For me once this is tamed they are the perfect speaker. I would give a slight overall edge to the Quatros over the 2.4s, but my wife doesnt like them much. "Dull" is her word. (not mine) The beauty of the Quatros is you can get away with way less power, and have so many more options on amps to use because of the built in subwoofers. The Thiels (for me anyway) have become a commitment to better upsteam gear. At this point I know if the music sounds really bright its the recording. However, my system is more on the warm side and also slightly forgiving, so this has not been a problem.

It would be O.K., if he had the toilet in the sweet spot. Hmmmmmm.....this gives me an idea.
