The idea is not to get a "refund", but to owe a little bit with your 1040. Otherwise you're just giving the government an interest-free loan of your money

Right on brother!

You guys need to move to Houston. Med price for new construction $135,000 for 3 bdrm 2 1/2 bath 2 car garage.

Some people attribute the higher cost of living in California to the "Weather Tax"

But it's so easy to trick yourself into believing you're getting free money with that refund.

I know it's unfair, but the current administration has left a very bad taste in my mouth for Texas.

If I were to leave LA it would probably be north to Portland, or Washington.

No argument here about that. But political climate aside, Fort Worth really is a great place to live.

I resemble that remark...Define cheap?

keep going north, you're getting more Canadian with each passing day

I started off in Maine, so I was really close to being Canadian already.

John,

The reason I nudge buyers away from Yamaha A/V receivers if they are considering the 4-0hm M80s is that we've had the occasional Axiom customer who has gotten the 4-ohm M80s and their Yamaha goes into an apparent current-limiting mode, with low power output and audible distortion.

Those symptoms suggest the protection circuitry is severely limiting power output into low impedances. I don't know the specifics of the Yamaha 1400, but the engineering of the unit would have to have changed, which I doubt.

Regards,
