    Did you pull a Homer and buy your wife some audio gear for her Bday?

    Looks like you might have to move all the audio gear to the garage.

    Someone needs to seriously consider a house with a main floor audio room or an elevator.
    Vinyl, the final frontier...

    Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want... :D

    Last time we stopped there, we looked at something.

    The salesperson kept talking and I just wanted to see the tag.

    Saw it, glad I was sitting down.

    I think I stopped breathing for a second or two.

    Wait, I'm confused. What's the Plinius pairing with if you already have the Boulder paired to something? Your sig shows Classe monoblocks. Who's staying and who's going?

    I remember helping Derek load his Ushers into his car a good work out it was. I'm sure these will take some elbow grease, where there is a will there is a way, take them out of those crates and get them set up already.

    Are you going to setup some little blocks of wood on carpet sliders to make it easier to ease placement?
