Yeah. Think of it, though. A way to get even for all the moronic jokes on my

I've ever seen.

Jaguar - for men who like getting hand jobs from women they barely know

Porsche - too small to get laid in, but you'll get laid the moment you step

American - fewer people die in plane crashes on our airline than any other

Volvo - boxy, but good

I wish I could remember more of these. It's amazing that I can remember
this many though. Man, I haven't seen that since about three lifetimes
ago.

For the benefit of those of us wanting to upgrade speakers, but don't have
the knowledge to "know what we don't know", what are the brands that rival
Bose in sound?


I have to answer that two different ways. If you're looking to make a
jump into the audiophile range (sorry for being a bit vague here, if I
could define this term I would!) and thinking Bose might be
entry-level, you couldn't do wrong with looking at Paradigm, B&W, or
NHT. (I have an all-Paradigm setup and couldn't be happier -- and I'm a
very picky guy when it comes to music and for home theater they are
very impressive also.)

If, however, you're not looking to move into the audiophile category
and are looking for the best consumer-level speakers (where Bose is
certainly better than a lot of stuff out there) I'd pick Polk or
Infinity over Bose any day. You might spend a little bit more but the
upgrade in sound is well worth it.

In the end I think there are two basic rules to follow when choosing
speakers:

1.) The speakers should be considered the *most* important choice when
purchasing or upgrading a system. Not that the amplifier has no impact
on sound, but the speakers have way more influence over how your system
ultimately performs, and too manyh people purchase their receiver/amp
first and then look for speakers to "fit it." And *never* buy the
all-in-one boxes (you know, where you can get a complete home theater
for $299 or whatever). Figure out your budget, select your speakers
first and then worry about the receiver, etc.

2.) If it sounds good in *your room* then it is good. And if that means
Bose, then by all means buy Bose. Look for a dealer that offers in-home
trial (hint: you won't get this from a Big Box retailer like Best Buy
or Circuit City) of either the speakers you purchase, or demo loaners.
Reputable audio dealers understand and accomodate this important
practice.

Oh yeah, I can definitely relate. My last name has cause no end of grief

gotta disagree with that. monster cable is good stuff, high quality, but
overpriced. bose speakers have the overpriced part down pat, but haven't
figured out the quality portion yet.

i'm surprised nobody's asked yet - is there a good substitute (i.e.
functional equivalent) for monster cable? i use 'em, and i'm not about to
cut mine up, but i'd like other options.

as for speakers (OT) - boston acoustics are my preference.

Golf clubs, marital aids and stereos are all sold the same way, with wild
claims and exhorbitant prices. The bottom line is, if you think it works, it
works.
When I get in these discussions about MP3s I always have to point out that
where you listen to something makes more difference that what you are listening
to. If you are in a Jeep with 75-80 dB of ambient noise, I doubt you can hear
the oxygen in your cables or the difference between a 320k rip and a 128k rip.

If someone is looking for small speakers, I would listen to
the Infinity Primus 150's or 200's: they are outstanding speakers
and cheap. We have a set along with Paradigm Studio 20's and
Atoms. The Paradigms are very good speakers, The Primus are
a tad warmer, with considerably more detail than the Atoms, about
equal to the Studio 20's, but with less bass than the 20's.

......Look for a dealer that offers in-home
trial (hint: you won't get this from a Big Box retailer like Best Buy

Our local Circuit City will allow speaker returns up to 30 days after
purchase, provided that you save all of the packing material.

I don't know either. Several years ago our company had a discount deal
with CompUSA. I was needing some computer cables in support of a test
effort we were doing and headed over to CompUSA to pick up what I needed.
Must have loaded about $50 to $75 worth of cables, connectors and other
assorted stuff. When I showed my company ID, with the discount applied,
the total for all of those things was something like $15 -- I thought they
had missed something, but the charges matched the merchandise.

characteristic--higher resistance per foot--that made 24 gauge sound

of 30 feet, the overall cable resistances would have been lower and
our tests would probably have found no audible differences between the
three cables. This project was unable to validate the sonic benefits
claimed for exotic speaker cables over common 16-gauge zip cord. We
can only conclude, therefore, that there is little advantage besides
pride of ownership in using these thick, expensive wires"

You can probably find that same USB cable for under $2 at cyberguys.com. For
example, a 3' A male to B male USB 2.0 cable can be had for $1.63 or as cheap as
$1.47 if you buy 10 of them at a time. You can get the 10' cables for the same
price. I've been using their cables with great sucess for a while now. There's
no way in hell I'm going to allow myself to be raped paying the big bucks for
those cables at CompUSA or BestBuy.

Most people work for others. And many of them take
sick time when they aren't sick, hang around the water
cooler to gossip, take long lunches when they can
get away with it, surf the Internet when no one's watching,
make personal phone calls, etc. All of this is subsidized
by their employers' customers. But since the company
is charging customers on their behalf, they're "getting
back at the company," rather than ripping off the customers.

Most people work for others. And many of them take
sick time when they aren't sick, hang around the water
cooler to gossip, take long lunches when they can
get away with it, surf the Internet when no one's watching,
make personal phone calls, etc. All of this is subsidized
by their employers' customers.


Have you been following me around????
