    Plus, how could you justify in your mind $3000-$5000 dollars for something that is only marginally better than something $800.00-$1,000.00

    Who is judging? One person's marginally is going to be different from someone else.

    That's like asking is it worth $10,000 to go 1 MPH faster? If one has the pockets and desire to try to obtain better results, then the answer is yes.

    Is this the five minute argument or the full 1/2 hour?

    Enjoy that Parasound, I know I enjoy my gear...

    Having an argument like this is pointless. We all have different preferences, budgets and goals.

    SIT DOWN, LISTEN AND MAKE A CHOICE FOR YOURSELF.

    Well,

    now you've made two comments. We were having a perfectly good
    argument and all you want to do is contradict.

    you guys will have to pay me another $5.00 if you
    want me to keep arguing. Otherwise I'm watching the
    Browns game and looking out for Jeremy. I think
    he the one wearing orange...

    True....it just strikes me as how everything she is involved with is total trash....to only make a buck from a bunch of kids who are too young to know any better.

    Nobody was being rabid here until Heiney swooped in and started making a

    Emotiva's TOTL amp.

    This thread was going down hill long before I opined. Stop trolling.

    oh,

    and then vmaxer does a heiney lick:
    "I agree with this."

    Sounds like you're ****. Did somebody get their feelings hurt? Let's have a group hug for the little baby waby so he can feel better.

    I was doing fine until you had your little tantrum. But then I expected it from a immature keyboard warrior such as yourself.
