maxg Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 I am afraid you brought this on yourselves. This is an original post to audioreview.com that I thought I would share here as a brief history of my system. It covers everything but not in exact chronological order. Descriptions in brackets are not part of the poem - just explanations. As follows: My Stereo sounded good to me Then a friend suggested DVD In came denon and Yamaha Out went my Sony and Aiwa Speakers were the next to go Wharfdale made room for Klipsch you know Five little speakers to replace just two (Quintet series) and a sub-woofer - there's base for you. (KSW 10) DVD disks arrived en-mass Film and music in a different class CDs confined to a bedroom drawer Dolby digital surrounds my floor. But the sound it was too small it seems More KLipsch were summoned to boost my dreams KSB monitors they were (3.1's) and oh so lovely on the ear. A year then passed and my friends evolved My system's junk, they then resolved So down to Klipsch one more time And Heresy 2's were the next in line But Yamaha just failed the task Rotel was needed, this fault to mask And bliss returned as did CD Stereo now sounded so good you see And slowly DVD got less and less and CD took over - oh what a mess This Yammy as pre-amp is not so good It doesnt sound quite as it should So we'll do away with 5.1 and DTS - that's it my son Stereo is the thing for me and Accuphase the place to be. Out go the rears and the centre channel Gone is the Rotel and all that flannel But these cables are a waste my friend So on some mogamis we did spend And then the Heresy's needed more So synergistic performed that chore (Synergistic silver cables) But this Denon DVD Cannot play a good CD Marantz will fulfil this role (CD 6000) Consign your denon to either pole (Denon 3000 - 1st gen DVD player) And now I have a sound so clear I wished it wasnt so terribly dear I could save saved a bomb you see If I hadnt ventured into DVD And now they've got new toys it seems SACD arrived to haunt my dreams But DVDa is also here SACD's pitch to queer and I am at a loss my friend no more money I have to spend Patience of my wife at last ran out As will she without a doubt If one more dollar I do spend On systems that just never end So this is the end of my little tale Of expenditure beyond the pail Of DVD and all that stuff Of music and this audio buff If you made it to here - well done!

dougdrake Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 Outstanding!! I would not be suprised if one of the Klipsch folks contacted you for a copy of this. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
