  1. Dialogue and respect (or at least the appearance of it) is better than ostracism and conflict. Kim has been ostracized for years, and it just made him more paranoid, with predictable results. It's all very well to demonize one man, but he represents a whole nation of people who barely have enough to eat and aren't likely to take up arms unless their leader feels he's backed into a corner. They would be the ones paying the price for his personality issues.

    Do you really believe he controls the country?[^o)] Yea sure he does.[8-)]

    Also dictators do not represent the people of their country.

  2. If you think that was an insane body count, check out Shoot 'Em Up. Clive Owen takes out 8 gun-toting ninjas during the sex scene alone and doesn't miss a stroke in the process. It's over the top to the point of being funny, sort of like the Kill Bill movies.

    Just what I thought about it also!

  3. True most are 5.1 not 7.1, but the analog connection allows you to hear the new HD audio formats

    Hopefully I'll have the Oppo blueray player soon so will do analog 5.1 to my Denon. It will be interesting to compare the new audio formats to the old ones.

    I have a Toshiba HD dvd player so put on a regular dvd and then put on the blueray version and switch back and forth with the audio.

  4. Always glad to help!! Road trips to pick up some big Klipsch speakers are always a great road trip!!

    For anyone who has not seen MWMs they are not tall but WIDE AND DEEP and can't wait to hear them.

    Walked into Rich's listening room and saw the JubScalas but was not able to hear them[:(] since he has been working on the room.

    The first time you see the 402 horn you realize how absurdly LARGE they are but you have a big smile[:D] on your face while you are shaking your head[:P]

    I guess it is like seeing that muscle car you have only seen pictures of and you finally see it for the first time. I'll post once I have a chance to hear them and let you know how the muscle car drives.

  5. Depending on your budget you could perhaps have a single split La Scala cabinet built and buy the parts for it.

    Post on the Update and Mod section of the forum and some one may be able to help.

    There are a lot of great people who build, update, and mod Klipsch speakers and they should be able to figure something out. Perhaps someone you can pay someone to build a single split LS cabinet and then you buy the parts and finish the job.

  6. He did the time he was sentenced to and unless part of the punishment was not ever playing football again then it is the NFLs choice and any team that would take him.

    What he did was wrong and illegal and I would not take him as a coach or owner but it is about making money in the NFL.

  7. The Blu-ray disc of Chris Botti in Boston (Sony, B001R60ESE) is nothing short of remarkable.

    I have 3 of his disc, one very good sounding SACD and once I can get a Blue Ray DVD player this sounds like a good concert to get.

    Thanks for the review.

  8. It was a great acheivement for everyone around the world, well maybe not for the Soviets but for the rest of the world.

    I find it sad that 40 years latter the US space program is in a sad, sad state. IF Nasa had the funding then we could have made it to Mars by now. You can see what can be accomplished if the US puts it money and minds into something but the US lost interest in the space program once we made it to the moon.

    We should have been to Mars by now!! The way the world economy is in right now I don't see it happening anytime soon.

    If I"m lucky it will happen in my lifetime.
