Just got back today from just that. I'm not "new" to audio, been around it for around 28 years. Seems i've been gone for to long. Pretty bad when you have to chase a salesman down. Talking higher end audio, not Best Buy or Circuit City kinda place. Wanted to audition some Paradigm and B&W's... naw, they were to busy doing nothing over at the desk i walked by. Guess you could call this "venting".... So go ahead and vent ~ i want to hear it...!!!! I'll tell more later, right now i need a beer to simmer down..(maybe the beer thread?)
