    Work within the framework you are given. It's not that bad.
    No complaints here as for the framework. PC? Eh, I have my opinions and thoughts that I will keep to myself. It just seems as if there are so many arguments and mudslinging that [to me] tensions are pretty high around here.

    Some of the old timers of the forum know the trends of the forum much better than I, so I may be wrong with my observations which I'm willing to concede to. I have just noticed what seems to be an argument in almost all of the forums on this board and the majority seem to non audio related. When I got actively involved with the forum it just didn't seem as bad as it is right now and it may just be me, but some of the veterans with the most knowledge have kind of slipped off the tightrope, that's all.

    And as Troy pointed out, it can get very tiring answering the same questions & making the same recommendations over & over again.
    Like, say.......having at least 200 watts per channel? :eek: :p;):D

    Sorry Cathy, couldn't resist.

    In the grand scheme of things, this is only a website. Try to ignore someone if they're being an **** and ignore a topic/thread if it's not your cup of tea. Pretty simple if ya ask me.

    I got wrapped up in some topics too much and got a little dickheaded, but I woke up and chilled.

    There are too many GREAT things on the Polk Forum to let a very few negative things spoil it. It would be like throwing away a dozen eggs because one egg is bad.

    Besides, all i have to do is buy Justin a lapdance at the stripclub and he'll ban anyone I ask him to ban! Go ahead punks....test me! Sal wouldn't give up the wood to me and you see what happened! ;)
    No excuses!

    :eek: Yup!:D I let a few of them slide every now & then when I'm feeling tired. And guess what? Others have stepped up to the plate & answered for me!!!

    Which means others have discovered the benefits of it & are willing to pass on the info to newbies as well. WTG!:D

    This is what CP excels at. Helping newbies get the best out of whatever system they have put together. That is what makes this place so much fun & interesting.

    The squabbles I do my best to ignore them.

    This is simply business as usual for the forum T. This too shall pass...until the next time.

    100% of the people in this house that are driving Amazings, are doing it with 1,000 watts @ 8 ohms per speaker. For the last 15 years, which has really only been a test phase.

    You ruined the forum.

    i can't even imagine the electrical draw with 200wpc tube amps....that's a serious tube complement too.

    They do make tubes with that kind of power, and yes, they are not cheap.

    There are quite a few 200wpc tube amps out there.....big and expensive.

    ..and I concur with El Roma.
