or $199 Damn, that's pretty good. But they're not ribbons. And I haven't heard them. Hmmm... Though I've not heard Samsons neither... Yeah, here's to hoping you get the Quads -- I love mine, listen to them all the time, they're great. Audioengine A2's, also for $199. I haven't heard the audioengines, neither. Why am I posting? I could be drinking.

That is one lazy-ass motherfucker. I'd have nightmares. "No, I won't tell you where I was on the night of April 31st, 1987, I DON'T KNOW!!!1!"

I stand by my comments. But will admit they are based on being that "second person" that Hirsch described. (Or rather, on not being the first person.) And LOL @ "...lays the smackdown..." -- you're using hyperbole again. Too much head-fi and wrestling, methinks. Also, my comments are based purely on separation -- I don't believe in "headstage" or imaging the way many people on these forums do, except in the case of K1000's.

Looks more and more like I need a decent Blu-Ray player.

approves.

Of course they are inferior, but they also cost a fraction. They are a killer deal @ US$99. Philips Microsystem:$99::Insignia NS-B2111:$40 Except, you know, they come with an amp and volume control, and sound better. Perfect for the application you're describing...erm...how big is the room again, and how loud do you intend to listen? They do go decently loud for a master bedroom, which is where they reside currently, but I don't listen very loud.

Okay, then add Gallos to the list. Oh, wait...

http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4218363 But be prepared to return it, one of my speakers came non-functional. The one that works sounds really good, now if I only had two of them...

Maggies I understand, but why Vandersteens?

Yeah, I think oicdn's shenanigans merits warning, so I don't see the problem. Although "fan" is obviously not entirely accurate.

At least your cat isn't bulemic -- I'm going to start calling mine Karen Carpenter, I have to buy twice as much because she pukes half of it back up. Fortunately, she doesn't eat that much to begin with, so twice very little is still very little.

Isn't that the 4070? Or is that "a mod that makes an SR-404 sound better than an SR-404"?

Yeah, I probably should qualify my statement -- when Juan let me hear his on his system, they did sound pretty damn good. I could definitely hear their strengths, but when I want pinpoint separation (?terminology), I have my HP-2's (although the Qualias would be more comfortable), and then I still have teh rawk.

No. Have you never heard it? Try to find a way at least to hear it first. It's good, and depending on your priorities, perhaps better, but also perhaps not. I know I, for one, prefer the PS-1. I never "got" the Qualia.

41.1mm...so a little smaller than mine...hmmm...$895...think I'll pass for now... PS Thanks for googling for me!

Well, I'll be the first to admit that I am not in the least bit curious. There's just no way one could transform the Denon into the Sony. Ah remain skeptical.

Me: a couple of Corelle bowls and a cheap watch. How big is that? I need another black watch that isn't as big as the one I have.

You know, "liking Phil Collins" was just a quirk about you that I could tolerate, but this is just...just...(sputters)...intolerable. Bananas are perfect. Scientifically proven fact: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGMuIyBK5P4

My theory -- he is seriously going into the snake oil business. Best way is to dive in the deep end, no? He probably sold his R10's because he was having money troubles. It's hard to ignore that 200% return, is it not?

I second the Quad 11L's + sub.

Pfff.

A blanket throw from Lucy's Toys A couple of "fanny packs" from Mowen Leather A CD or two from Stan and LeeAnne

Stan and LeeAnne -- just ran into them at Sugarloaf Crafts fair -- I had no idea who I was running into when I ran into them in front of a vendor's tent, but the woman of the pair happened to spot my Happy The Man t-shirt, and said, "Look, he's wearing your shirt", and I was like "whu?", and she was like, "This is Stan Whitaker". I nearly tripped over myself, I did trip over my tongue. Stan is probably in my top 10 favorite guitarists ever. He's amazing. Anyway, they devoted their entire 55 minute set to me. She's got a great voice, and he's just amazing, even if he's "just" playing an acoustic. They're doing mostly covers now, but are going to start introducing some original material, and he's still got Oblivion Sun. I'm so glad I was wearing the shirt, because if I hadn't been, I'd have been cold...erm...I mean, I would never have known into whom I had just run. I mean, look at the above picture, they look completely unimposing.
