    SVS Lovers

    I owned an M&K 5000THX, along with dual Klipsch KW-15 (I think -- a 15" sub before this current ref line) moved to a smaller joint and got dual cs20-39s. Wanted to downsize even more, and got a PB2+. Now I have moved to a larger space again, and just ordered my second PB2+. Blake

    24: Day 3 - 3/30/04 - Hour 16

    My problem with this episdode is how long can it take for a full scale emergency response team to be assembled? It is 4am and there is NOTHING more important than keeping that hotel under lock and key, yet it was what, 45 minutes and nothing? And now that the window is broken, the virus is out...

    Large LD collection for sale

    Hey there, I am downsizing my system, and clearing out some laserdiscs that I have no space for. I am selling them in one lot, and will not break them up. The condition is mostly good to very good, there are a few discs that have partially broken through the spine, and a few former rentals. I...

    I need some real estate advice...

    Erik -- thanks for the reassurance. Something tells me that you might be an attorney? We found a guy, local, with a long history in the area. He is charging 250$ to write the contract for us, and if it is accepted, we have the option to retain him for a flat fee of 2500$, which is 10 hours of...

    I need some real estate advice...

    Hey there guys -- just a quick update. My wife found an attorney that specializes in Real Estate, they have a 10 hour 'package' that includes title search, prep of the offer, review of the contract and anything else that might come up. Of course, whether or not it actually takes 10 hours...

    I need some real estate advice...

    Kirk -- like I said, IF we had been working with a realtor, I would gladly pay it. However, my wife found the house, got all the comps and all that -- we truly would be bringing in a realtor to look at some paperwork. What COULD go wrong with this kind of a deal? I guess I just don't see the...

    I need some real estate advice...

    OK, I see where you guys are coming from -- I was planning on a few things: The sale would be contingent upon a full structural inspection & pest inspection, along with a walk-through with the seller and the buyer present (there are renters there now) Obviously, the property would be delivered...

    I need some real estate advice...

    That is what I thought, although since the selling agent is the owner of the property, owner of the real estate firm, and his own broker, keeping all the eggs in one basket (even more so, considering the way this guy has things set up) would only benefit us. Thanks for the imput -- I own a...

    I need some real estate advice...

    Hey there, I am looking for advice from the collective on a real estate question that I just cannot find an answer for. Here is the situation -- My wife and I found a house that we liked -- it needs a lot of work, but c'est la vie. We are prepared to offer $505,000, which is under the asking...

    Storing my CDs

    I can vouch for the jewelsleeve link -- My wife and I hit critical mass in terms of storage of CDs when we got married -- now we have over 2000 of them. The jewel sleeves work great, and take up no space at all. The hardest part was finding a piece of furniture that had deep enough drawers for...

    Are "boomers" the key to high resolution audio? I think so...

    This is long, and might get a little /ranty/... and it is all in MHO. I feel that the key to getting either of these formats to the masses is one thing and one thing only -- surround mixes released day and date with a comparable price tag. You have to understand that people (kids?) from 25...

    Has anyone built or heard the Adire Monolith?

    So I was browsing the Adire site looking at possible Tumult applications, and came across this design. I have searched here and at HD and never come across anyone that actually built one. I have access to a cabinetmaker-grade woodshop, and he owes me some time so the cost of the cabinets would...

    Need some info about Bryston (LONG)

    Thanks for all your replies -- you guys gave me more information (or ammunition) to sway my wife on the purchase. For some reason she thinks its a bad idea to get seperate amps right after buying a Focus/Marquis/SigIII/SigIII set up from Legacy Audio. She lacks vision, you know? I LOVE Martin...

    Need switch box advice

    Thanks for all your replies, even though you are just validating my concern!! Is it odd that with 3 new high performance consoles out and HDTVs getting cheaper all the time -- but with limited imputs -- that some such switch box would be marketed? I am sure that it would be an expensive little...

    What the name of this song?!? Help!!

    Hi there! I think the song you are looking for is 'Eighty-eight lines about forty-four women' by the Nails, a new wave pseudo punk band from the early 80's? I think??? Apparently taken from Jim Carrol (of Basketball Diaries fame) and his poetry, or at least that is what I hazily remember from...
