| Audio House Slappy,How about buying a house in your price range with a two car garage, keep the cars in the driveway, convert the garage into an audio room? Garages are an empty slate. If you are into DIY, you can put together a well insulated, good sounding ... | |
| Best speakers for $500 or less Second the SD 300ti. Perhaps even the Sound Dynamics RTS3,In a bigger size, Magnepan MMG at 550.00/pair factory direct. One of the best buys in audio IMHO. | |

| MMF 5 or 7? The 7 is quite possibly (IMHO) their best table. Some prefer it's sound over the much more expensive 9. I auditioned both the 5 and 7 a few years ago and both are very good for the money. | |

| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Regiolanthe,I was hoping someone would pick up on the tongue-and-cheek nature of "Excitable Boy", given the rather dark nature of the lyric. Thanks for catching it. ;) |
