    They didn't.
    I guess the author of the brief piece is still an outsider.

    Monitor 10s, good stuff! The golden age of Polk. There's a lot of respect for that here!

    Now what am I going to do about the Large Advents, one of which just SPLIT its seam in a wondrously spectacular New Year basement flooding from my four year old furnace water expansion tank! And they were in mint condition. I now feel like I've betrayed the AKer I got them from a few years ago, sorry Bob!

    You know, if you're going to have a pressure relieving valve on the back of a basement furnace, wouldn't you want to PUT that over a DRAIN in the basement instead of a solid concrete floor that slopes into your finished room? Nah, too much foresight, better to let that excess water ruin your carpet, speakers, and other equipment!

    Old houses and hot water baseboard heat with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of feet of copper piping and ALL their joints (so weak and capable of leaking at any time-it's like living in a bad Kevin Costner film-Waterworld!) OK, cnh, enough kvetching (watch that temperament!), you should be more like your New England neighbors, frugal, gentlemanly, and most of all, live a safe and secure life. lol As if a Greek can stomach the Quotidian, now that is FUNNY! Zorba just left the building, he's outside on the ground laughing his a s s off!
    Currently orbiting Bowie's Blackstar.!

    Polk Lsi-7s, Def Tech 8" sub, HK 3490, HK HD 990 (CDP/DAC), AKG Q701s

    That author is more than a bit confused. That house was in the Govans area. South Street is in the central downtown area of Baltimore city. Marantz is owned by D&M Holdings, who also owns Denon, Boston Acoustics, Snell and McIntosh.
