Tell us compliments received on your system...

What kind of center channel is that? Where is your center channel speaker? Is this a 5.1 or 7.1 system?..It sounds as if there are no speakers in the room. They are gone...I cannot believe that bass..All from and about those 2 Caravelles..Tom

Tom, What happened to the caveat you usually add to your promotions, i.e. that you sell Caravelle's? Not everyone knows who you are.

My wife--and audio cynic extraordinaire--is a pretty tough crowd. She doesn't deny that she can hear the difference between components and setups; she actually has a very good ear. She just doesn't think it's worth the stupid amount of money some people (read: I) pay. I can't exactly say she's wrong. :) Anyway, I've heard this woman critique systems upwards of 150k, and she can be merciless with her remarks. I was therefore pleased (not to mention atonished) when, after listening to a few selections from Randy Newman's latest album, she gets up from the listening chair and smiles, "That sounds REALLY good, honey." After all the effort and money I've put into my system, maybe I was expecting a little more, say, ebullience, but pleasing the harshest critic in your household has to be worth something, right?

Hooper, it is worth something! It might be worth another upgrade in the future ;-) Just think how hard it would be to convince her if your investment didn't sound good now.

"Meh.... not bad, seen better, seen worse. You got any beers?"
