This isn't a Polk Audio love fest or anything so don't feel obligated.
I see QOTD's posted at other sites I frequent and they seem to inspire fun and engaging conversation provided the lame-brains can keep the petty bickering about the usual stuff out of it. It's just something to spark some positive interaction between people and spark some creative thinking.
I realize that some people cannot be bothered to write more than one word on their thoughts. Well, that's kind of not the point here but nobody can stop you from answering "present" but we can ask you to be engaging. Some will get it and write a big, long diatribe that totally misses the point and again, we can't stop you but we can ask you to please read your post before you hit submit. So, please, be creative, think outside of the box and please stay on topic. If this sparks an idea for something you would like to discuss that is unrelated, don't derail this one, start a new topic.
We'll see how this goes. If it works, I promise to not be like Micah and to post a new question daily. I can't guarantee weekends and holidays but at least weekdays I can. I'm going to kindly ask that my efforts are not usurped and that the QOTD is left to me for now. If it's successful, we'll figure out how to get others posting QOTDs, maybe on a rotation or something? If you have an idea for a QOTD, feel free to PM me and you're question will hit the rotation unless it's something totally inappropriate. I'm not looking to censor and suggestions will make it easier for me to come up with questions. I think this could be fun and positive, for once. Also, remember, there is no wrong answer here and anyone who is going to bash someone else for their answer will be chastised immediately and mocked mercilessly until we forget about it. So, on to today's QOTD!

I guess I would have to wonder where he would do the most listening. Does he do it in his sleigh or does he do it in his house? He spends more time in his house than in his sleigh but...I dunno.
I guess he would be able to do both. I think he would have bookshelf speakers because, afterall, he is an elf and he's small in stature comparatively so I'm guess Amazings and BIG SDA's would be out of the question. As well as most tower speakers. But at the same time, Santa can have anything he wants cause he's got magic! So if I were him, I'd have the BEST bookshelfs I could find. So I think Santa has a set of Sonus Faber Homage Guarneri Memento flanking his fireplace!
I gotta think about the sleigh for a bit.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

You are all wrong! this dude is magic. He has a pair of focus 20/20s miniaturized in his earmuffs. The rest of the shop has Atriums. The office, and house have Some sort of modded sdas in all rooms. Between both of the locations he has 552 Custom built 18" subs in an Ib configuration. (bring the thunder when the elves get out of hand.)
