*Male Reasoning* This is a conversation between a man and a woman. Please note that she asked five or six questions, which he answered quite simply, but then she was speechless after answering only one question. Woman: “Do you drink beer?” Man: “Yes.” Woman: “How many beers a day?” Man: “Usually about three.” Woman: “How much do you pay per beer?” Man: “Five dollars, which includes a tip.” (This is where it gets scary!) Woman: “And how long have you been drinking?” Man: “About 20 years, I suppose.” Woman: “So a beer costs $5 and you have three beers a day, which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year that would be approximately $5,400, correct?” Man: “Correct.” Woman: “If in one year you spend $5,400, not accounting for inflation, the past twenty years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?” Man: “Correct.” Woman: “Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and, after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could’ve by now bought an airplane?” Man: “Do you drink beer?” Woman: “No.” Man: “Where’s your airplane?”

Welcome to the site!

Good to hear some solid metal again.......been a while since I've listened to any!

Congrats Mark! That's great to hear you're starting a new (hopefully more lucrative ) position! I know moving sucks, but hopefully it'll be a good change of things for you and your family ! PS: You're now only about 400 miles northwest of me!

Glad to hear Dennis got her back up and running for you Travis!!! Mark was kind enough to let me borrow his 55x for a while and I got much the same impressions as you described. While I didn't have the CF speakers to try the 55x out on, the 45 really seemed to be able to drive my larger front speakers better with a better sound stage as well. I did hook the 55x up to my surrounds and it was definitely more dynamic when it came to movies and the imaging detail that goes along with them. Thanks again for the good comparison! Cheers

Glad you're back and all's well Joe! Have to say tho, I'm just a little jealous of your new TV purchase LOL!

Damn, now he's gotta go drop another $50 on a new sweet old-school big screen LOL!!!!

That was pretty awesome LOL!!!!

That's one nice looking setup Kev!!! I'd really love to hear a pair of those CRM-2's.....ever since I saw Toy Makers CarverFest speaker build thread I've really been wanting to see what all the hype is about!!! Have you ever heard Sunfire's bipolar version of the CRM's?

Welcome to the site Doug!!! I see you need one of the FEW manuals that ISN'T in the library here......hopefully one of the other members will be able to help you on your search!!! Enjoy the perks of the site and ALL of its OUTSTANDING members.......and beware OCCD LOL!!!! Cheers

Welcome to the site Uncle!!!! That's some good looking gear you've got there......when do we get some pics of the Maggies along with the stack

Pretty sickening.......looks like it should be a pretty good movie. REALLY similar to this documentary that's been out for a while now:

Congrats John! He's one good looking kid......my brother and I both were well over 1 month premature, and we managed to turn out OK!!!
