bo1772,
I'll say it once, and then never again (unlike you).
You have told us all what we don't know well over 1000 times. To save us all from expensive future mistakes, and all of the "useless" trial and error, why don't you once and for all write a useful thread outlining all of your secrets to great sound?
If you don't want to share, then remain quiet and go your way.

Bigkidz - give it up. Coal is dead. Those people need jobs, not environmental destruction they won’t even benefit from. You want a winning industry? Wind power. Solar. Those industries are booming. They need workers..

Until the industry dies because air pollution is ok again. Otherwise, most of your facts were factual while looking at the argument from a completely different perspective and in the process glossing over the main point of rising income inequality. That is a proven fact. Yes, the rich take risks. But they are now taking greater and greater shares of the reward.

That said, expensive amps are hardly our most pressing issue as a society. Not worth freaking out over, at least.

Unfortunately Wind and solar don't begin to compete economically with coal. Coal is inexpensive and clean coal burning electric power stations are just as practical as clean gasoline cars with catalytic converters and both have ultra low emissions.

It would be great if Wind and Solar energy were cheaper than Coal but they are 5 to 10 times more costly than coal power at current coal prices.

Hi Bigkidz, 
I appreciate your well reasoned comments that reflect wisdom and keen observation.  I am optimistic about the country's direction and leadership over the next four years.  Time will surely tell.  A vibrant rather than a stagnant economy is a vital necessity as step one of an evolving process.
