Pleasant surprises, what have you run across?

Not a biggie, but the other day I am working on a pair of speakers(Infinity 2.5, new surrounds) and while having them disconnected from my main system, I hooked up a pair of Epi M50's to it because it was quick and so I could have music during the repair. Now of course I had heard them before, used them in other rooms, etc. But I was just tremendously surprised again about how good an inexpensive(yes cheap)speaker could sound when hooked up to some decent gear(Perreaux SM2/3150,Elite DV 09, Scott 350B). Then I got to thinking about other pleasant surprises like the 1st Sonus Blue label, 1st real sound system,an AR System with AR 2AX's, 1st Advents,1st Stereo 70(about 1980), 1st Scott 350B(just recently) and some others. And now I wonder if any of the rest of you would share that experience, be interesting to read.

I was given first row tickets to Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance! IT WAS GREAT !

I got damn near retail for them at the front entrance. I do regret not seeing Jean Butler dance beside fancy pants though.

Now here is the quandary.

If you were driving along the highway and an armored truck was in front of you and the rear door suddenly opened and a bag of money fell out, would you:

Call to the driver to stop and pick up his money?

Keep the money and pretend you never saw it fall out?

NOW..........What if Michael Flatley was driving that armored car and when you picked up the bag of money and you discover it was full of nickels? Would you still keep it for yourself?

What if Michael Flatley saw you pick up his bag of nickels and called out to you, "Gimmie back that bag of godam nickels you wee flagon of goat spray !"

Would you give him back his nickels? Strike him with the bag of nickels to make your escape? Pretend you didn't hear him and drive away?
More to discover
