A long time ago Dan (formerly DTB300) once remarked that once you graduate from the stock receiver and speakers from the big box stores and move into dedicated amps, rooms, etc with better...

Gun background checks are just the low bearing fruit for our elected officials. It's mainly a reactionary measure taken after the terrible tragedy that took place in CT. Pretty much anytime some...

This then begs the question, what is a 'capable' amp?

There are TONS of amps of all shapes, sizes, designs (tube, digital, hybrid), and prices --> all that influences the decision to audition...

Make sure you are listening to the best quality recording possible when seriously evaluating an amp or speaker. Go out of your way to find music (that you like) that's been recorded correctly. You...

Sometimes I wish I could just "pay per view" for everything I watch vs some fee I pay each month and I don't watch/use 95% of it. I tend to be a creature of habit and watch the same channels over...

I remember Joe when I visited CO a few years back. He was indeed a terrific dog!

Precisely. Even just a link to a .pdf file that shows what they got and how much would be better than what they have now. It seems rather odd to call and ask questions like: "Do you have shirts?...

With a $6000 budget you can easily afford some awesome separate components. I've always maintained that if you go with an integrated amp, either space is at a severe premium or you just love the...

Just a suggestion...it's understandable that maybe running the online store was more trouble than it's worth. I was wondering if maybe just a single webpage (or link) that shows pictures of mugs,...

I thought there was an online store for coffee cups, shirts, banners, etc? Is that no longer true?

Hasn't woofer + panel integration ALWAYS been a ''knock" against these sorts of speakers? I think that's one of the tradeoffs we have to make. Years ago I listened to some Quad speakers at a dealer...

Over the last decade, or so, I haven't watched any TV shows with much regularity other than the Sopranos (and even then I had to rent to DVDs).

I do like the Americans. I've also heard great...

I haven't been around the President or his kids (and the guards associated with protecting them) but I have walked by the White House a number of times. Sometimes the guards on the perimeter have...

Want to prevent another Newton?

Arm the teachers. Give them the training to both protect the themselves and the kids. If security guards can be hired by banks, nuclear power plants, private...

Anthony -

Do you live in DC? I want to say you work there, but I do not know if you live inside 495. I ask because I am thinking about relocating sometime next year to DC or NoVA. Glad to see...

Interesting, Dave. The shear size of the problem and the magnitude of the numbers are just amazing (if not depressing).

Hi Anthony -

Long time, no talk. How are you doing in DC?

Quick question - how do you know that taxes, alone, were the driving force behind the economic success in the early to mid 90s? I ask...

Interesting take, Kevin. Hit 'em where it counts--the wallet (?). But I also wonder since our congress can't get anything done and if the Bush cuts simply expire I guess Obama ends up getting a...

Perhaps some context is also needed, Dave. I don't think that making $125k (for a single filer) in the Washington DC area is all that much money (in my opinion). However if I was living in rural...

I never lost power either. Just some downed tree branches and leaves everywhere. NY/NJ and some other parts of the NE certainly got hammered. When you live in the DC area it's quite common to meet...

Steve - I always like it when our members sit back, relax, and just ramble on about they see, hear, and experienced. It's all good. Find some cool stuff and take some pictures for us!

We love your commentary, Tim. The more, the better. I need to put this on the calender for next year. I loved this event!

I've been playing since I was 10. Then I stopped for a while and during a summer while I was in college helped run junior clinics in Florida.

I play in a league once a week. I like the friendly...

It's a matter of context. If you have big speakers, a big room, and want to listen to music at a moderately loud level - you'll need an amp that can throw out some current, especially if the source...

Yeah the gains between the amps may be different. Spike has sent me some info on how to match the gains. Otherwise it's possible that panels could be louder than the woofer, or vice versa.
