that's why they are labeled the LoudMedia...with subpar quality, they are indeed LOUD...

"Finally an end to the mystery. TheEAR let me come over to take some pics of his equipment to shut you all up so here is a shot of his main HT." damn! that's my dream system...how can you afford such a system and not telling me about it, Ears ...

"I am 6.2,194lbs and can lift over my head with ease a 140lbs amp,holding it by the handles.I took my HGS18 one time and put it up the mezanine where I have two PC's,the HGS18 is over 100lbs easy.Also not to brag or shout but I have no truble moving my 180lbs Krell FBP600,no no sliding." what is there to brag, Ears...I am 5'10", 175lbs and I can carry my 150lbs Krell 650Mc with ease ...

"These VTL monoblocks are a sigtht to behold,must sound amazing too.Ah I prefer my "lesser" solid state Krell. Costs far less too" excuse your arrogant, Ear...the Krells are not "lesser" and at $120,000 a pair (more then my Ivy), the Krell Master Reference Monoblocks are not exactly "far less" either... the VTL Siegfried Reference Monoblocks cost 2/3 less at $40,000 a pair...beside, I prefer tube over solid state for classical music...

I don't destroy anything...and I don't own anyone...except for a few good subwoofers ...

why would someone willing to spend over $500 on a piece of used audio equipment (that retails for $600 new) he never even seen or listen to...moreover, why would anyone want to buy anything from somebody online that he/she never met face to face...this is just beyond me... NEVER BUY AUDIO GEARS ONLINE!

how did you guess that Manuelle Deflated? ...perhaps because you never argue either...and will undoubtedly find every opportunity to flame me...gotta give some credit to the flame machine ...

that is why I said, it's not about how big the driver is...the Tempest can be just as good as the Tumult...it's all in the design...

"my point in saying taht in 5 years, MM will be much more impressive..and ceratinly challenge a lot of the smaller HT systems. Nobody said it would meet or destroy HT." so you denied saying "In the next 5 years...I'm willing to bet they collide at hell-binding impact."...or unless I misunderstood the meaning of it...

"Who is there,famous people...Robin Leech from the Rich and Famous? The Queen herself? The king of Saudi oil? President Putin?" perhaps among those famous people is the 4'5" elf ... and yes, I do go to LAN parties at my sibblings' and cousins'...we do play games like you, Ear ...

"Ok back on topic here , you're comparing a sub with an MSRP of $28,000 USD to a multimedia sub costing $about 200" I wouldn't have said a word had "somebody" being realistic here...

"and yes it would be EXCEDINGLY easy to build something that could CRUSH the krell, it might not be aluminum, but you could have a custom cabnit made with a very high quality birds eye finish, use 4 adire audio tumults" I am sorry prodj, if you know anything about subwoofer design at all, its NOT just about how big the driver is or how many drivers you use...and no wood cabinet can match solid aluminum, period! your point doesn't prove anything...

"What I ment to say, is that in 5 years, the bridge will gap even closer." what happen to the "In the next 5 years...I'm willing to bet they collide at hell-binding impact."? quite a strong statement don't you think...why the tone down all of the sudden? perhaps, you've come to the realization of your silliness comparing apples to oranges... "I willing to bet if SVS really wanted to, they could build a $5-10,000 dollar sub (Whats Krell MRS retail, over $20,000?) that would match or destroy the MRS." why haven't they? its really a simple question, you know...

sorry Manuelle, after you HAVE listened to the Krell MRS and compared it with those so-called DIY subs then come talk to me...

"More and more are MM and HT being compared...the two worlds are slowly merging. In the next 5 years...I'm willing to bet they collide at hell-binding impact." which planet are you from...LOL... I've been waiting the last couple years to hear a high-end sub that can match my Krell MRS...so far none, nada, zip...not any Sunfire, not any SVS...and (I suspect) not even the Paradigm Signature 2500...not on this God's green earth...well, not yet... and you're talking about (trashy) MM subs...not even in your wildest imagination...not ever...(unless there're no more women on earth) HA HA HA...damn that was a rough dream...LOL...
