Rate these on order of importance:

Unsound - well, at least I think we'd both agree that neither one of us would like to (or be LIKELY to) listen to either option, so Albert can breath easy again instead of worrying about donating his front-end to our experiment. Although the proposition seems ridiculous I have seen some folks posting here with systems that I'd imagine were way out of balance on one end or the other (or somewhere in between). I imagine some of that may come from reading threads like this one, and other misinformation, or misinterpreted information professed by salespeople or other externally motivated or strongly opinionated individuals (you know, like you and me). I still maintain that synergy should be the #1 priority in building a system. I'd certainly rather just use my earplugs when riding long distance on my motorcycle and keep my hearing in tact for future sessions with my (well-balanced) systems.

Marco, agreed!

Whatever happened to the music? Or is equipment and acoustics more important?

The music?!! I think Gunbei sat on it and snapped off a piece. I saw inpepinnovations got the epoxy and soldering iron out to try to fix it, but then got caught up in repositioning his speakers and forgot about it. I think he left that soldering iron plugged in cause I can smell something burning. Nrchy and me took the music down to the sacred store but the man there said the music wouldn't play!!.......and them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye singin this will be the day that I die.
