  1. Whoever chooses the fabrics and veneers for Klipsch has great taste.
  2. Brady has stated he thinks he can play into his mid 40's. He may well play into his 50's if he keeps getting roughing the passer calls like last night. Defenses will be afraid to do anything more violent than blowing him a kiss.

    "If I were your wife I'd put poison in your tea." "If I were your husband I'd drink it." Attributed to many, but in this case let's just say Lady Astor and Winston Churchill.

  8. At that price I would think the damage is significant. Typical scratch & dent discounts usually are not that steep.
  9. Doorbells in TV shows fool our Brittany every time.
  10. I think iTunes, iPods etc... get a bad rap in this debate. People may have been spinning vinyl back in the day. But a lot of it was spun on stuff like this.
  11. What a great brother. Mine might have paid them off, but they'd be at his house. However, you now have me trying to wrap my head around the fact that 1974 was 44 years ago.
  12. I understand your frustration but that is pretty standard operating procedure. Amazon for example charges return shipping. Although I do know of one manufacturer who offers free returns, of course their cheapest product is $500 so they probably have a little more margin to work with. At the other end of the scale there is a manufacturer who charges return shipping, 20% restocking fee, and if you got free shipping when you purchased it they nick you for the original shipping cost.
  13. I saw an interview with one of the victims who said something to her coach in private. The coach then brought in the rest of the team and humiliated her in front of them, thereby sending a message to her and the rest of the team. It was a female coach BTW, the poor girl probably thought she would get a sympathetic ear from a female authority figure.
  14. Why would you need a subwoofer for banjo music?
  15. Wow! We had to have rubbed shoulders there at one time or another. Or maybe at Appletree Stereo just diagonally across the street. Are you from the area or were you a student?

    So much for the SI cover curse.

  19. This may be what he is referring to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ksk1e6lXAU
  20. Here is a link to the review on youtube. It is interesting to listen from 1:05 to 1:36. He states he has a problem with talking about the Forte iii as an audiophile speakers. Then backs that up by listing three speakers that each have a quality that is superior to the the Forte iii, and then immediately says that the Forte iii sounds more real than any of the three. Did He just let the mask slip? I thought real was what audiophiles were after. Besides (and this might be picking a small point) how does the B&W being smoother or the Maggie being more open disqualify the Forte iii from being an audiophile speaker? All speakers have differing strengths and it is relevant to match the strengths to ones own tastes. Maybe the Maggie shouldn't be considered an audiophile speaker because it isn't as smooth as the B&W, doesn't image as well as the Elac, & isn't as dynamic as the Klipsch. I think for a lot of reviewers the review is half written as soon as they see the nameplate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYOs7zuFJXA

    RIP Don Williams

    I know Country music isn't everyones cup o' tea, but he was one of my favorites. Besides, he can't be all bad if Clapton was a fan(which he was).
  22. Love the story, thanks for sharing. With those big Cornwalls in your living room, I assume you didn't marry a gal just like the gal that married dear old Dad.
