a real purist (fundamentalist) will have a monophonic system, like what people used to have "in the good old times". my system is 7 channels, and that gives me 6 spare channels when one breaks down.

Glad you liked the writeup Chess. I think Lailey offered the best value for money by a good margin that day. I tried the Chardonnays and really liked them: oaked and unoaked. My dad picked up an unoaked Chardonney, so I picked up the Riesling. I

Thanks for the tip. I think I might have thought the 180/m80s needed to be further from the rear wall confused with Magnepan MMGs. 4" is no problem... I still haven't moved into the target house (being built) and don't yet have the console (l

Blue lasers sound an awful lot like blue LEDs. Put me down as wanting termination that way. I thought the general goal here was to post photos and make other people spend their money. Did I misread the mission statement?

I guess that our renos are not that significant when considering that our house is probably worth the ridiculous market price of $600K or more - about 3X the price that we paid in 1996. At the moment, there are a couple of waterfront houses across t
