    Under $1000 Subwoofer Review Thread

    I know what you're going through. The docs just lowered my prednisone dosage (a good thing) but I'm weaker now (a bad thing). I've had to lower the weight on some of my exercises (a humiliating and discouraging thing). At least I'm still able to exercise though. Just do what you can and...

    ACI Maestro...

    I enjoyed this review more than any other you've done. Although, my wallet, and my 12'x18' room, are both laughing at me, whenever I consider owning one. I particularly enjoyed your subjective impressions. Including them makes the review more personal, more human. Good job, as usual, my friend.
