    Anyone who cannot imagine a horse galloping on a tomato is an idiot!

    Someone said that...I wonder what he would have said about pie--probably something equally brilliant.

    Funny stuff,I find it amusing on a Polk site the discussion of who is world class blah blah.I own Polk,have owned Polk for many years,never considered it "reference stuff".I actually consider it about like emo,some good stuff at a good price,no more,no less.

    I have owned many amps over the years,a $700 emo is as good as many $2k amps I've owned,better than some.....

    Don't even start on quality,I think we all know none are above issues.

    What does this have to do with anything? I wouldn't pay $700 for an Emu. An Ostrich maybe, but not an Emu...

    You're all flipping nuts to be even posting in this long dead thread. Speaking of nuts,nothing quite like a banana split with chopped nuts.

    Sara Lee is priced under $10/pie. Therefore it can only be mid-fi pie. Because I said so, and I'm somebody.:p

    I don't know about that...I've compared Sara Lee pies to pies costing two, and even three times as much, and found Sara Lee to have the best stereo imaging of all the different pies. Sara Lee will also bring your midrange to life like no other pie I've ever encountered.

    That in combination with the quad Emu mod I recently performed on my Onkyo has made my sound really phenomenal.

    I've also been thinking about putting some pies inside of my speakers. I'm thinking something along the lines of Sara Lee French Silk pie will really help to solidify my low end.

    What the hell are you talking about? I never said Sara Lee pies didn't taste good. At that price, they are mid-fi pie.;)
