Home owner's insurance question
This has been an incredibly valuable discussion. Makes me think, do I truly have the most monetarily valuable asset in my home truly protected. While I may have some level of protection, has that protection been truly verified and documented?  Hav... 
GO PATS!
I am not a fan of the Pats. I am a Bills fan. Yes that sucks but taking that into account you have to respect the spendor of Tom Brady. Truly a pleasure to watch and a magico athlete to be doing this at this point in his career! 
BUY Bryston!!!!!
Here is a positive statement on McIntosh's customer service. I bought a minimally used  5 year old MA-2275 but the tube cover could not be found. It was a good deal so bought anyways. Looked on line for months and could not find a replacement. Cal... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Savoy Brown, "Looking In". Outstanding! 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
I like chocolate cake. My wife likes vanilla cake. My kids like marbled cake as long as it has frosting with sprinkles. 
Could I be a Retail Wretch?
I would say that when it comes to supporting our locally owned businesses, I find it wrong to sample from one and then buy online. I am not going to claim that it is morally or ethically wrong as I would not think this discussion goes to that extr... 
Greatest debut album
That was awesome on Jagged Little Pill. Completely forgot about that. When I started the post I really didn't mean from a historical perspective. I really just meant from a personal perspective and seems most responded as such and left a ton of gr... 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
I do not debate that there is importance in discussing the pros and cons of products. The price of those products is an important aspect of that back and forth. However, I do not agree that we should be producing such condescending vitriol about t... 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
You pay what you want to pay. Nobody is forcing you to write a check or hand over your credit card. If you think you need a $10k cable than so be it. The onus of that purchase rests on your shoulders. Don't blame anyone else. 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
cakyol +1. Does it really matter what the price is?  The market sets the price. There may be a few people out there who are willing to pay that price and they could care less. The market is set to what the majority of us are willing to pay for cab... 
Speakers for a very large room?
Thanks to everyone for providing recommendations and education. I will be able to come back to this post once I am set up for some direction. It has been incredibly helpful. Rich 
Speakers for a very large room?
Ok. I have to admit that I am one of those loyal McIntosh customers but would be willing to eventually upgrade in-brand.  They have treated me well over the years and I love the warmth with the kind of music I like. Might be short sighted but it i... 
Speakers for a very large room?
Thanks you all for the responses.  I will definitely look into the Tannoys.  Never thought about horns but will research.  I am not sure I have very many options other than to make the large room work.  System certainly not going in the master bed... 
Speakers for a very large room?
Thank you eric_squires. I was not familiar with JBL Studio Monitors until you gave your strong recommendation for them. I am sure they sound just fantastic in your set up. I only wish I could upgrade to that level of listening that you endorse.  M... 
Speakers for a very large room?
Thank you Larry. I have considered that but I am not sure my SO will allow such a thing hung in the corners of the room. I think I can probably get away with some throw rugs. That is always the push-pull of this situation. If I can't do room treat...
