    Never heard of the Contax brand.

    Nikon and Canon pretty much dominate the camera market, especially digitals.

    the market in general has been getting tough. This is by far the worst spring I've ever encountered in 6 years of retail. Kenwood's leaving... darn. Just another company who tried to live on HTiB's and flopped. To bad, they used to be a quality company. I just honestly wish a major turn in the electronics industry would happen so people stop thinking cheaper is better. $66 HTiB's and $149 24" Flatscreen Tubes... makes everyone think they're getting a steal. Sorry, you're just buying ****.
    Never kick a fresh **** on a hot day.

    Home Setup: Sony VPL-VW85 Projo, 92" Stewart Firehawk, Pioneer Elite SC-65, PS3, RTi12 fronts, CSi5, FXi6 rears, RTi6 surround backs, RTi4 height, MFW-15 Subwoofer.

    Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.

    Agreed.

    My uncle was wanting to get a HT but said he didnt need anything expensive. Sound is sound and all he wanted was a $150 RCA HTIaB. Hell, 5 speakers, a sub AND a 500 watt receiver for only $150! Thats a great HT!! :rolleyes:

    I told him he needs to find a high end shop or hell even a Circuit City and go listen to a properly powered set of Monitors and then go out to the HTIaB aisle and have his eyes opened.

    My **** creates sound and I'll do it for a lot less than $150. Does this mean my **** is a good value? Well......... :p
