Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater here we go again....

Sometimes I wish I never found this place. At least my checkbook does.

It all started with a picture of the m80's on some silly webpage somewhere. Next thing you know, I have a set....and still not paid for.

So, here I am, after tearing apart my basement, getting new sub floor, putting up/taking walls down, all for a new "media room".....1000's of $$$ later I realize I still don't have my surround/center.

But wait, my old amp just won't do...so NAd 773 ordered eariler the week.

Ok, now I'm ready, 5 mins ago, qs8'd and vp 150 ordered from the FO.

So here I go again ( whitesnake anyone? ) waiting for the arrival of more toys. Oh whatever will I do in the meantime.

Funny thing is, once this is all paid for, I get to do it all over again. I've got a bar that needs some speakers, and a sub, and a room upstairs that I'll be replacing my old cerwin's with M60's, which of course will need a new receiver as well.

I tell you, this is a problem. How do I stop buying stuff? IS there a club for people like me that need help? I can't be alone can I?


Someone, please cut my credit cards in half.. PLEASE

Re: is there a club for people like me that need help?
Yes, it's called "AA" (audioholics anonymous).
BTW, nice system you are building!

thanks. Killer is, how do I pay for all this ???

You're on your own, there. You're going down the only road you've ever known.

Re: how do I pay for all this ???
My rule of thumb is:
1) The money is in the bank.
2) The wife agrees with the purchase.
3) I am good to go (order).
Lucky for me, I have a very sympathetic wife that appreciates my hobby.
Good Luck!

Likewise.

"You're going down the only road you've ever known. "

Priceless...

I totally have the same problem. I told my wife that I would be satisfied with my new setup for at least 10 years give or take a couple. But then I started reading all these dang posts and replys about 5.1 to 7.1, bigger bass, bigger speakers, more and more and more and more power!!! . . .need I say more. I think that we are all now heavily influenced by the gosh darn upgraditis thing.

All I want is a new receiver and some mono blocks well and maybe another pair of surrounds, and well maybe a couple more monoblocks and well a real tv would be nice and and and and and I need HELP

I have a bad case of "Downgraditus"

Gotta have some M3s and "tube-like" amplification for the second system......the primary system is pretty much complete

I can decide how best to upgrade EP500 to EP600. Just got to know how it sounds.

Bug, when I win the ep600 raffle I'll tell YOU how it sounds. Capiche?

Yeah it's an expensive hobby, but hey you are enjoying it and life only comes around once.

If I win, what to do with my EP500?

But I never win anything, so I figure I made a charitible donation and I will be happy with that.
