| What time do you wear? Either a PAM 111 or a Submariner.I've had many others (Chronoswiss, GP, Blancpain, IWC, Silberstein, Chopard, JLC) but settled on the PAM and the Sub as the most practical. | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Pioneer PL-12DII. This table could be had, brand new, for about $75 or so. It has a fairly decent arm, good speed stability and great isolation. Still an awesome buy today. | |

| Whats the best $1000 speakers Find a used pair of Snell CV. They sell for $800 - $1000. You'll have to spend a lot more to better them with a new speaker. | |
| Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls? I readily admit my Aerials "will do better" further away from the wall. But, the fact is, they sound great close to the wall.A speaker does not have to be specifically designed to work close to a wall in order to do so. Some speakers are simply le... | |
| Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls? You don't necessarily have to follow all of the rules. I have a pair of Aerial 10Ts ...they are not supposed to be close to the back wall or side walls.Due to circumstances which I'd imagine are much like yours, the rear of my Aerials are just 12"... | |
| Outdoor Speakers......please Outside is a very, very big room and makes most small speakers sound like crap. Get something with 8" woofers, like the Sonance Mariner 82.Dean. | |
