I'm now in the over 50 crowd.

HEY RAY! We got another old goat in the club! YAY! I used to call my brother, who is 9 years older than I, the "king of the over-the-hill mob." All that stopped when I joined the mob.

While we are on the subject.

Sony's outstanding marketing does it again

Yeah, it really hit me the other day when a team Capitan asked me to join his USTA "seniors" tennis team.

At that moment, I pictured myself in my youth and then my minds eye began to race in fast forward from then to the present. It was like an out of body experience. But I'm OK with it. All things considered, I'm enjoying life more than ever.

and from that same site...a new M80ti review.

M80ti Review

Wow, I was reading the review and BAM "..... after I let them break in for a week...". He lost me right there. Nice review, relatively accurate comments, but break-in? Ah well.

Anyhow - Jack, the Gray Panther movement grows in the Axiom Army ranks. We should get together and take a nap. mwc - welcome to the land of the varicose vein set. If needed, I can point you to a site where you can acquire a 40 lb Viagra lick. It's mounted on wheels and can be pulled all around the house. Jack swears by it (or at it, I never get that right).

You "old" guys crack me up.
Keep UP the good work.

The review was good.

Except:
"After setting the speakers up, I let them break in for the better part of a week before sitting down for any serious listening. All my listening was done with the grilles removed, allowing me to see the attractive silver-colored drivers."

The dreaded speaker break-in topic....

LOL! Not quite there yet but PM me that site just in case.

Hey I am 23 also. And there are a lot of really great rock bands out now, so don't knock new music.

However, many of them sound (audio-wise) absolutely awful. It really makes me mad how bad a lot of modern music sounds with revealing speakers like my M22's.

So our neighborhood progressive dinner ends last night and we send our gusts home completely sated just after midnight. I sit down and start flipping through the Satellite channels and come across a 2004 Doobie Brothers (most of the originals) concert from Wolf Trap. My wife hears it, wanders into the room and sits down. I turned it up and we werre enthralled until 1:30 AM.

I was not much of a Doobie Bros. fan when they were popular, but this concert was terrific and they sounded great. Very ecelectic music selection and I was surprised at what good musicians they are.
