  1. " Anyone else have anything to add?? " Yes, good choice of speakers ! [Y] Sorry couldn't help myself. You will find them just keep looking, the hard part is over, deciding what you want.
  2. People seem to just make up reasons to get wild and have a party. Hope we never have a full moon on Mardi Gras, it's wild enough, ever been to the French Quarter on Mardi Gras day . []
  3. Not really. Why should the restaurant pay more. A good waiter working one shift a day, five days a week, will usually make more than the manager working twice the hours, and they expect monkeys to jump out of the mgr's butt daily for little money. I had to inventory food and make a food order three times a week, balance the books and keep up with 80 employees and their hours and paychecks. Make sure everybody did there job and make sure the place looked good, that's just the basics expected. Although unless I get terrible service I always tip 25% to 30%, why because after working in that business for a few years I know how hard a waiter or waitress has to work. Many times as a manager the waitresses after a shift would come in my office and dump a pile of money on my desk and say please count it and give me larger bills. There shift was 4 to 6 hours, mine was at least 12, they made more than me in a week, every week. I loved my job but after a couple of years of working 80 to 90 hours a week, never a day off, I decided no money is worth it. Don't mean to sound like a smarta$$ Sunburn, I know how hard it is with some customers but it is a fun job most of the time.
  4. Would you consider buying them if there were not a used market ? If the answer is yes, you don't have a problem buying them, buy new. If you look at the prices, the newer the model the more $ they bring used, it's not like 2004 models are being sold used for the same price as older models.
  5. What ? Never heard of that. Probably will make no difference. Can you put a pic ?
  6. Damn Cajuns even type with an accent[] That's funny, but correct ! [Y]
  7. Welcome to the forum " Eventually I would like to upgrade to a better synergy setup around $2,000 but thats realistically few years away. Im selling the bose and buying this in a lateral move. " This is not a " lateral move " I have heard the boze and the Quintet's. The Quintet's are much better you will be surprised how much better. Let us know what you think.
  8. Is that the RW-10d you are talking about ? I was at neighbors house a couple days ago, he needed help ( my DB meter ) to balance his speakers. Has the RW-10d, I played with it for a little while, I was suprised how good it was. For msrp $499 it's a good deal and did a real nice job with music and movies.
  9. TheBes " You see I haven't even mentioned the big score yet " The TWINS ! [Y][Y]
  10. Seti I hate to break the news to you but it would take alot more than a wax for you to fit in in that group ! [:$]
  11. Looks like some of the big MGM speakers with multiple drivers on each horn. Wonder what Roy would say about these, what do more drivers on each horn improve ?
  12. Sounds like they enjoyed it, my wife probably would say the same thing, they can babysit big kids too ! Didn't know you had that setup ? I love Forte's, Cornwalls and ............. the list is long. I have always wondered what does " sancti ludovici " mean ?
  13. Congrats to Mr & Mrs Pickey, Glenn and Verna great job. Now take your mom and wife down there and show them one of the top 4 HT's around ! [H] You never did say, what does your Mother think of the Home Theater ? Does she watch movies or music with y'all ?
  14. OK TheEAR, you can't fool us you know you want / NEED one, and you know it's on that list of things you have to have ! I'm surprised you haven't caused an avalanche up there in the frozen north with all subs you have ! I think I have figured it out you want all those subs so when you get OLD and can't hear anymore you can still listen / FEEL the music, kind of like listening in braille, can't hear it but can feel it.[]
  15. That's true OB even though I watched the games through the season I never expected them to get that far. After 30+ years and only making it to the playoffs once it's like being conditioned to not expect much. For many years the saying was " maby next year " but to tell you the truth it may work out next year, with a few changes and alot of luck ! But now I would like to see the Colts win for Peyton and his dad ,and the head coach, I always liked him as a head coach. And of course the rest of the team and Indy, they have worked hard to get where they are and somewhat like the Saints got little or no respect around the league. Especially by the dumba$$ sports announcers, all they ever talked about was Peyton good or bad , like he was the only person on the team. How can you talk bad about any team with that record ? Thank you Amy " Peyton "......You could write a book on my mistakes, typing and otherwise !
  16. Nice, I had seen the pictures and it looked very nice, they would have to be pleased with the way it turned out, it looks great. That's funny about the sub, I do not want to hear it, can't afford it !. Bet it will scare many people while watching movies. I would love to see the faces of people who have no idea what a real HT sounds, much less what that sub could do.[:|]
  17. Ok I'm going to CHEAT , ................................ Free CWlll' from a VERY generous company, Klipsch. Free HK 930 from a VERY generous form member Arfandbark. I can't thank both of them enough ! Great bang no $ REALLY PRICELESS $ The best sound I have ever had, and I listen to it EVERY day !
  18. Well there was one good game, Bears / Saints was not even close. Now for the COLTS to beat Da Bears in 2 weeks. The Saints are out, but Payton's family is from here, Paytons dad almost got killed playing for the saints, he got hit more than a crash test dummy.
  19. In a round about way he bought from Klipsch anyway still ok ! Look at the very bottom of the Energy web page !
  20. Nice museum, The museum has a listening area where several speaker types can be compared for the quality of their sound reproduction. The speaker types are Heresy Klipschorn La Scala Cornwall The audio input can be switched between any of the speaker pairs.
  21. If those two things happen they should win, hope your right. Probably have high blood pressure watching , still can't belive they got this far.[Y]
  22. I intentionally avoided the question in my first answer, now the truth.....BUY NEW HERITAGE ........they will outlast you !
  23. To be fair to you, go find some some and listen. You will be the one to listen to them everyday, find the sound you like. NONE of the ones you listed have any problems sounding great, especially compared to other brands in the same price range. And there are many people on this forum who have the same speakers you listed, and picked those models because of something they liked about them. What did you have before, and what did you not like about it ? What kind of music, how loud, how big is the room ? Others will ask these questions anyway to help. Welcome to the forum
  24. Unlike some of the old cranky buzzards lurking around here. [] No I hope y'all make it, I would like to meet.
