One question: which one of you assholes gets to die trying to stick me? Escape From New York: Snake Plissken:

I'll be honest with you, I love his music. I do. I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman" OFFICE SPACE: Bob Slydell:

I haven't heard that model of Apogee, but do own the Scintilla and have owned the ALS Platinum Ribbons in general are pretty amazing, they give phenomenal and realistic detail. Some speakers are better than others blending cone drivers with ribbons though, so have a good listen. I'm willing to bet the Apogees will be better than the Walsh's though

I made my own from a negative ion generator meant to plug into a PC USB port and a wall wart. It works really good to eliminate static. I think the whole thing cost less than $10

Overall Speaker Performance - 4.5 (never seen a 5 unless cost-no-object but even those aren't perfect) - For anywhere near the money, better than any of the several electrostat or planar's I've owned. The ALS-Plat was probably close or as good just in a different way Overall Speaker Quality - 4.5 pretty easy to drive and doesn't pose an obscene load like many Value For Money - 5 Reliability - 5 Factory Technical Support - 5+ Factory Service - N/A no issues Ease of Doing Business With Your Dealer - N/A Ease of Doing Business With the Manufacturer - 5 Distribution Network - 1 in Alberta Dealer Knowledge - N/A Technical Innovation - 4.5 Has things most E-stat's or planers don't have such as adjustable bias, low frequency adjustment, high frequency brilliance control. Panel is made of 3 separate angled plains so dispersion is wide Product Availability - N/A in Alberta Brand Currently Owned: Sound Lab DynaStat Next Speaker Purchase: too early to tell. A larger Sound Lab if 'E-stat

Ok, here is a preliminary shot of today's score. Ignore the "nice" wood panel walls as that is the winter project to yet be dry-walled. Anyway the room as about 14' wide by 23' long. I plan on moving the components to the rear or side wall once I get a longer HDMI cable as these monsters take up a lot more space than my previous speakers. Difficult to say how they compare to the Platinums as an A/B comparison would be difficult as both systems are on different floors. My brother lent me the newest Rambo movie as I never did see it. These Polks have a lot of impact paired with the 2 M&K subs. I set up the receiver to not have a center channel and it really doesn't leave any audible hole with only the 2 Polks up front so ignore the MK laying on it's side below the LCD

The fellow also threw in a mint Sony CDP-C701ES 5 disc changer with rosewood side panels, and a mint Yamaha RX-V1070 receiver. Also included a 10' pair of factory terminated 12 ga. Monster cable. I'm currently listening to the CDP on my 2 channel Platinum's system and it sounds pretty amazing.
