    I don't really have any friends who are into HiFi unfortunately.

    The few friends that I do have are content with their Sonos speaker setups.

    I am sure that you can find some way to use them. Maybe buy and let a friend needing a desktop system borrow it?
    Edit: I read that to myself again and it sounded like I was implying myself. I was not, just so you know.

    Yeah. My best bud has all of them. The 1, 3, and 5.

    To me, they sound boomey and inaccurate, with an overly warm and accented midrange. I guess some people consider that to be "good" sound.

    @BassFreak101: Not sure if you are still looking, but A4L has the well reviewed Onkyo A-9050 integrated for a nice price - $320. It's currently $500 on Amazon.

    Built in DAC! Subwoofer pre-out!

    Edit: It's even got a phono input!

    Does anyone recognize these? Probably junk but they look somewhat interesting and are listed cheaply.

    They look like Advent Prodigy towers, but I think Advent rounded the top edges down.

    There's a name on the bottom that I can't read. No big deal, but I just wondered if they were some kind of "diamond-in-the-rough". Only $35 but an hour away.

    I have it tentatively set up for tonight. Just waiting for him to confirm he's available. It's an hour and 40 minutes away, but I'd definitely prefer the drive over a damaged amp!

    I agree 100% on driving to get something valuable now.

    Here is a package that was shipped from 120 miles away via, USPS;

    And this is what was in it. It all escaped damage by the grace of God. That's all I can figure as how it made it here in that box scratch and dent free and not one broken piece.

    PS. The pieces were jumbled into a mass of carnage under the top, which was thankfully taped to the bottom. They were contained. Otherwise, I doubt any piece wouldve been in that box!

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Might feel a bit of a stiff neck coming on, but I think I'm alright. It was a solid **** hit.

    The music is helping though!

    Now the question is, how many did you pick up? :D

    I stopped, but, the traffic was too heavy at morning rush hour.

    The car damage looks like that box did. :s I know the feeling about hitting a deer.

    Mine was a secondary impact late at night. The car in front of me hit the deer, the deer was knocked to the ground and it spun around the first car and I ran over it. Bumper damage and a blown front tire. Happened in the middle of nowhere at 10PM I think. "Deliverance" country somewhere. It was quite the experience. I was young and had no spare but there was an old gas station open just a 100ft. back. I was fearing for my girlfriend and my lives for real. But all went well in a slow kind of way. :#

    Sorry as all get out about that. :'(

    I think some of us members are just cursed. :#

    Not a deal, but maybe they're on to something with the one upside down speaker... ;)
