my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want...

Bottomsup: You did a GREAT job and i bet your system sounds phenomenally good for the money spent. I thought i was good at finding "killer deals", but you've got me beat by a long-shot!!! Hat's off to you, your system and the spirit of "bang for the buck" audio that everyone seems to enjoy. I've had more fun and better results building killer "budget" systems than i ever did dumping measurably more cash into this "hobby" : )

Other than that, i'm with Brent ( Brainwater ). If people around you are selling that kind of gear for those prices at garage sales, flea markets and pawn shops, i need to spend more time in your neck of the woods : ) Sean

Well for $689.50 you could upgrade to Radio Shack magnet wire speaker cable. For $746 you could get some single driver ELF 1.0's. Don't stop now, just think how much happier you could be ;-)

LOL. That's how it starts huh? You mean there is no just dipping your toe in the shallow end of the pool?

Yes, you can go in the shallow end..the sharks can't go there. Stay there and enjoy the music with no fear or worry.

Bottomsup dont go back to 666, Dont go up to 68600 either.
