We went old school on the front doorbell on our new house. This joker is some kind of metal...brass maybe. Wife picked it out. I liked it.
I just use my smartfone and say 'dyslexia, make doorbell sound'.

Been having one for a few years now, looks great, might have got lucky, or you were unlucky?
The M-Series Vizio I bought on December 7, 2014 still works flawlessly.

When I was 16 and dropping hints to my Dad about buying me a car he said that if I could get that old Chevrolet in the driveway running then I could have it. Otherwise I could walk. That was in 1969. I started learning about engines real quick. Got the 327 running pretty soon. Rebuilt the engine, changed the rear out to 4.11 posi and bought extra powerglide transmissions. Top speed was around 80MPH. Felt like I was towing a dump truck.
Needed room for the bigger tires so I went to the premiere suspension shop in town and they installed '409' springs all the way around. Lifted the car around 3 inches and rode like it was built that way. I didn't recognize it as my car when I went to pick it up. After a lot of tinkering someone liked it as much as I did and carried it with them. It was found by a county sheriff while he was hunting about 6 months later. He said he didn't know how they got it in there unless they dropped it from a helicopter. It was very similar to the one pictured below.

Well a few thousand dollars with a short time horizon (life of loan) isn't going to earn too much, and the interest paid reduces that return. My credit is perfect so there's not much I can do to improve it.

Exactly. We buy used and drive them until their wheels fall off. Pay cash, never have payments. I always allow as part of the decision process a thousand or two as repair money to get it back up to snuff. A few repairs over the years always seem to add up to much less than monthly payments, plus most repairs can be flexibly scheduled, whereas payments are due every month.
I bought a pair of boots the other day. As I was checking out there was an offer of $50 off if I applied/approved for a Visa credit card. Are you kidding? About 30 seconds later I checked out saving the $50 plus the taxes. I'll pay that off and cancel the card in the next few weeks. Does it hurt my credit? I really don't give a s**t if it does or doesn't.
Do I take advantage of zero to low interest rate financing? Darn right. Is my money sitting in the CU earning a measly rate of interest. Yes it is. Do I have plenty of time to write a check monthly and mail it while my money mildews at the CU? Yes, yes I do. Will their money that I'm using cost me anything months from now while my moldy money has earned hundreds at the CU? Doesn't cost me a thing.
Am I cheap? Hardly. I enjoy paying back banks and institutions that took advantage of me back when I didn't have a choice. I find the practice entertaining. YMMV.

=== try to find a new, brand/model you like, and those might possibly offer 0% for ?? months? Use their money; whether I can afford to pay cash for new I’ll opt for 0% anytime. Several are currently running these deals —
Are you saying that you would leave your cash money earning interest somewhere, even as rates are rising, and pay back someone else's money in installments at no cost to you as your money remains liquid and is earning money elsewhere?

There's an old saying that as long as a person is breathing then he is learning. That only applies to around 50% of the population today.
It's not about the women in this particular case, it's about money. Always has been. Money gives rise to women.
Another old saying is that if you let a man talk long enough he'll tell you anything you want to know. An example of that is the person that has been telling us he's guilty for the last 2 years.

Do you think I would notice a difference in sound quality?
I've never heard your particular speakers before but I think you would easily hear an audible difference using a separate amp with them. If nothing else it should lengthen the life of your receiver. I'm not into arguing this stuff any more but anyone that couldn't hear the difference probably didn't use a Yamaha receiver with their Klipsch speakers 30 years ago.
Do your homework and beware of sellers. Find an amp that will compliment your speakers and try it for yourself. You should easily be able to find a used 3-channel amp for $150-$200. Good luck to you.

110 watts per channel 2 channels driven 9 channels of amplification. Heat, enemy of electronics. See if you can find someone that has a 3-channel or 5-channel amp that you can borrow. But that's just my opinion.

When you conclude with a statement like that, I know your belief that you are not "on a side" is disingenuous. I do appreciate that Gowdy's grandstanding is divisive. That doesn't exonerate Strzok, et al.
It seems you think the Strzok matter should have been handled differently.
I don't remember any proven damage done by the 2 agents. They were fired as they should have been.
As I've said many times, my opinion is in the middle of the 2 extreme 'sides' we have nowadays.

You're kidding me, Keith. Really? You think that's some kind of scam by Gowdy and the Inspector General? WJW!
The video below is Strzok's self-defense against Gowdy. Listen to Strzok's final summation, where he suggests Gowdy is eroding the public's confidence in the FBI through all that innuendo. What Strzok has missed is that the FBI did this to itself. It started to become evident when Comey took over Lynch's job as Attorney General and said there would be no prosecution because they could not establish intent. This move by the FBI was unprecedented, and it usurped its authority. That was the biggest mistake ever by the FBI. It opened the public's eyes that "something's not right." It put the FBI under public scrutiny. The rest has been unfolding since.
I appreciate how your camp can still maintain that Strzok's personal views somehow had no effect on the way he conducted himself, professionally. However, certainly, you are smart enough to know that this period of time in the FBI's history was replete with mismanagement, blunders and improper conduct. Strzok, for example, admits Mueller released him from his duties due to the appearance of bias. Listen for yourself. Strzok was released by your man, Mueller. Mueller needed to protect the integrity of his own investigation from Strzok and Page.
Can you honestly maintain that Mueller should not have released Strzok? I know you're not an attorney, so maybe this will help: Let's say you are being prosecuted for some crime. Let's say further the judge on your case has been texting his buddy saying, "That Keith is scum! He deserves 1,000 life sentences!" When those text messages are revealed, what do you expect to happen?
Just to hit it lightly so as not to waste much of my precious time.
First, you just can't get it. I have no 'side'. It ain't me against you. If you feel that way then all is lost in your case. $hit smells the same whether it's on your shoe or mine. It's a non-partisan aroma.
I didn't listen to the video. I saw Curt's son and dismissed it. Like using a convicted drug dealer for your primary defense witness. Weak. Remember Benghazi. He spent years investigating. His words after years of investigating were "U.S. troops would have been unable to reach four Americans killed at the American consulate in Libya in time to save lives" and “Whether or not they could have gotten there in time, I don’t think there is any issue with respect to that — they couldn’t.” Exactly the same findings that were known over 2 years earlier. Even the R's called his investigation a "carnival road show". He's a clown (my words).
Kevin McCarthy boasted that the probe had succeeded in bringing down the D's presidential polling numbers. Then, back to Curt's boy “The goal is to win — that’s the goal. The goal is to win" and also “I don’t have a lot to show for the last seven years. “You won’t see me running for political office again, I’m done.” Well thank goodness for that.
Oldtimer pretty much encapsulated my thoughts. Curt's son has done nothing for his constituents except to erode confidence in the system which, your words, threatens our democracy. But he's not alone, even on "MY SIDE". That's why I'm anti-incumbent.
As to your video above, that was handled. Expeditiously.
Try to find more credible primary sources.

Go to HD and buy a 3/4" MDF project panel. The panel cost about $7 and HD will do custom cuts for free. While you're there buy a can of spray primer and a can of gloss lacquer. Block sand the MDF before primer then spray the paint and sand with 4 ought steel wool. Predrill holes and glue and screw together. Shouldn't cost more than $15 or so. If you want walnut or the like then buy a precut panel and have at it. Good luck.
