Why are you not in the picture?

 

[lurch70]

good question ...

 

[neal]

really? ... 10 bucks?

man, technology is really disposable ...

i think the fancy new bluray players with wifi, netflix ready etc. are only like $60-$70

I might pick up them Energy bookshelves for my living room.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Actually fuck that, look no further than Polk. Srsly.

Hey Kenny Boy: two floorstanders? or two bookshelves and a sub?

 

[Krilons Resa]

If I had the option, I would go with two floorstanders 100% of the time. Subs are notoriously tricky to correctly set up.

For real HT however, if that is what you are after, then a sub is kinda mandatory (as is a center channel for voices) for that "rumble effect." Fuck HT though.

 

[dorian gray]

I have no interest in HT

 

[Krilons Resa]

good.

 

[lurch70]

dorian ... get this ... package deal

http://cnj.craigslist.org/ele/3256866797.html

this had to be like 4-5K new ...

 

[dorian gray]

$500?!
Is it stolen?

The problem with speakers for me remains: when the fuck am i going to listen to them?

 

[lurch70]

yeah no shit ... this is what I am always debating ...

daytime ... no fucking way ... eveneing of course not

weekend ... I want to get the fuck out of the house.

anytime daughter sleeps ... no chance


realistically ... its headphones and maybe some speaker upgrade in the car.

decent home audio is a pipe dream
