Ok, so Pia wasted no time getting snapped up for a record deal. Did everybody notice that she began the process of signing paperwork for a record deal with Jimmy Iovine (I think thats his name isn't it?) and Interscope records...just hours after s... 
Idol 2011
I agree with the theory about girls/women doing most of the voting. I'm a middle aged guy. I watch the show with my wife. We love that show, but my wife definately does the voting. I'm bummed that Pia got voted off. She is great. Not to mention a ...

How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner?
Hello Tmsorosk, No kidding about the electric bill. You know I'd almost prefer the snow. Colder climate is much more to my liking, unfortunately we are "rooted" like so many people and must stay in the area due to aging and ill parents, children, ... 
How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner?

Upgrading from Martin Logan SL3s
A subwoofer is a great idea in my humble opinion. I found that using a good subwoofer to augment the bottom end of a Martin Logan set-up was well worth doing. Over the 14 years that I had my Quest Z's, I bought, (and sold), a bunch of different su... 
How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner?

How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner?
Thank you so much Elizabeth, the info you provided is very helpful. I am kind of a clean freak when it comes to my audio system, and I hate when all my "toys" look all dusty and upkept, (a condition that is common to most of my friends and audioph...

How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner?
Cool. Good idea. How LARGE might you be talking about? Could something like what you've suggested be moved easily enough? Wouldn't want some big industrial sized monster populating a lot of floor space in my beautiful dedicated listening room,(the... 
Upgrading from Martin Logan SL3s
Sorry for the trouble I may have caused you Ahendler, my bad. Won't happen again. All critisisms aside, may I also suggest Usher speakers as a possible option for you Lostbears. I cannot recommend a specific model as I don't know their line well, ...
