    Opinion: The demise of satellite radio

    Nicely written piece. Sounds like Clear Channel. I can drive from one end of the country and save but for few and far between original programming the airwaves are inundated with babbling idiots saying the same thing in Tampa that theyre sayng in Lincoln not to mention playing the same 3 songs...

    Best Receiver to pair with Energy speakers

    Check E Bay on the Yamaha 663. Best Buy is listing it for $499.00. I got mine factory sealed w/ warranty for $289.00 The box had a tear in it but the product was 100% free from defect. Im also very happy with the purchase. My B&W's went from good to wow I had no idea they could sound like this.

    Dipole Speaker Placement

    Thanks for the reply. Ive placed them near the ceiling firing downwards 3' in from each corner. Ive been missing out on these speakers the way I had them placed. After tweaking all the speaker settings Im blown away. They sparkle.

    Dipole Speaker Placement
