Carl... this isn't an audi forum its a audio forum. Crazy fished eyed fool. Do you play a banjo in the movie Deliverence? Besides my country I would gladly put my system, house, cars, women, you name it against yours. I probably even have more american money than you do in my wallet right now. I let you in on a little secret Carl.... The Canadian audio manufacturers price there products the same in U.S. dollars as in Canadian dollars, and it is still a bargain for you. U.S. manufacturers have huge margins, they spend less on R&D and they try and market the products to the mass public who are the least demanding in the G7 countries as far as audio quality of sound. U.S. products have the most lights and toys. It is the U.S. that is blocking the progression of DvD audio, and other technology that has been on the shelf for years. These are facts little man as were the questions about amps that you cannot respond to. But lets have a shoot out since you want to see if my system will be chewed out. Not your make believe system either. I dont spend any time here so you must have alot of friends here I am sure that align themselve to you like a magnet.... gheh heh heh heh ..... I'd love to sit here and waste my life like you Carl but I have a great system that I spend my time with instead ahh ha ha ha ha ha ha Go tie a pork chop around your system so at least your dog will enjoy it... ahhh ha ha ha
