| Home theater 5.1 in stereo mode all the avrs i've seen have stereo mode, which utilizes just the front channels and sub as well as an oxymoronic "all-channel stereo" mode which utilizes all 5/7 channels and sub. most also have a "direct" mode, which typically utilizes just the f... | |
| Are Naim speakers worth the money i had the arrivas for a long while and they're unusually system dependent--paired with the right gear (esp. naim amps) they can sound rich, with exceptional bass quality; otherwise they can sound somewhat anemic. they're also quite placement-sensi... | |
| Home Theater separates won't fit in new house the new generation of class d amps are quite compact (nuforce nuprime etc.)--i'd look seriously at those | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has elliott smith | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report dm3, west of anywhere--world class powerpop by one dom mariani, an aussie whose prior bands like the stems and someloves are also revered by fans of this generally unpopular genrebevis frond, example 22--the 587th album from my favorite eccentric ... | |

| Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit o well. it was a good thread while it lasted. | |
| Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit marty--in deference to your response i relistened to sfp--what's curious about the song is that, at least by squeeze's standard, it's largely unadorned/unarranged--until you get to the bridge it's really just difford (tilbrook?) and his acoustic g... | |
| Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit marty, on your sayso i listened "some fantastic place" critically. it's a poignant lyric and i can see why you're so moved by it. very personally, tho, it didn't grab me as much melodically as say. "vickyverky" or my beloved "up the junction"; dif... | |
| Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit good story, marty. to me, tho, their great lyric is "up the junction," which is like a great tragicomic novel in three minutes. | |
| Recs for solid state integrated, $2-3,000 range just heard a parasound halo integrated--awfully impressive for the 2k pricetag, with every bell-and-whistle | |
| Help Equipment for media room poncho, you're probably best served getting an avr--virtually all the major players (denon, marantz, yamaha, etc.) make networking/wi fi receivers which have all the requisite audio/video connections and let you connect wirelessly to pandora/spoti... |
