10. (HW)- The adj. "Hot" diminishes w/ time while a(GS) gets hotter as time passes by. 9. Most of us listens more to what comes of a (GS) more than what comes out of the (HW). 8. You can tinker with the (GS) knobs more than the (HW)..did I mention you don't have to ask permission and you can do it anytime? 7. It's easier to turn on a (GS) then a (HW), even if everyone is not in the "mood". 6. When you're confused and have any questions about your (GS), you can actual ask other guys' opinion....and get the right answers. As for when you don't understand problems you're experiencing your (HW)? Good luck...no guys on this earth, let alone this site, can offer any help....not even to a not so hot wife (no offense). 5. (GS) the louder the better. (HW) you can do the math. 4. (GS) you can switch partner (brands) with out much effort. Trying to do the same with the (HW)? goodluck! 3. (GS) the heavier..the better. (HW) ?????..unless that's your fetish. 2. When you're tired of your (GS), you can put it up on ebay, audioreview, or audiogon for sale without being arrested. 1. You get money back when you get rid of your (GS). Getting rid of your (HW) is the opposite...allomonies, pallomonies, give away all your monies.... I don't know about you guys, but this is a hard decision. Maybe some one else can point us to the light. Ciao.
