Throw in some wings and blue cheese too.

Sure, I don’t disagree with your comment that your opinion of American independents on the political page of a Buffalo Bills discussion forum won’t make any difference… but I think that my original comment that the public perception of the Democrat members of our government that just alienated all but their closest members of their base on live TV is a bad look… and not good for their party moving forward

I’m not sure who “you guys” is supposed to refer to. You seem to be highly concentrated on Trump’s junk though, which is odd. I don’t think calling the political middle of the road folks as morons is the way back to winning those swing states. Good luck.

*through… people saw through enough lies and bull ***** to re-elect him… it took a lot more than “MAGA” (whatever the hell that means) to achieve that.

He just gave the record longest speech to joint congress. Democrats couldn’t even clap for the layup non partisan segments for the honorary recognition of sick kids, murdered college students, service members, and prosecution of criminals… at the end of the day, who really looks like *****?

The Dems can’t even stand up for the brain cancer kid because Trump is talking… and they wonder why they lost.

Trump to Trudeau:

Just wait until it becomes self aware and starts doing that to people in real life.

I haven't messed with any of the settings since they set it up for me. They thought it was going to be a quick 1 hour type thing, but then took all day to get it where it is now... and it's actually not that much better that what I was able to do just with an SPL meter, test tones, adjusting the phase and delay on each sub then running Audyssey in the processor (and they actually confirmed that, comparing to the "before" measurements they took). They ended not even charging me for the time spent, just for the processor... I bought a lot of stuff through them over the years though. At my old house, I had a large ported SVS sub right behind the couch with the back wall just another foot away... That created some good tactile feel to the bass, especially in a more closed off living room, but not too much far off what I'm getting in my home theater now... especially considering it is ~1,200 sq ft open floor plan with high ceilings.

Yeah allocating a good amount of total budget to the subs always pays off. I'm running 3 SVS SB4000's. The only real upgrade I've considered is a 4th sub to position one in each corner for a bit better balance (currently 2 up front flanking the front speakers and 1 in the center back). I have the 3 subs running though a miniDSP processor. I had the Speaker Shop come out to calibrate them... ended taking all day to get it right. I'm running a combination of Parasound, Emotiva, and Outlaw amps controlled by a now aging (and a possible upgrade area) Marantz pre/pro (but all its features and codecs are still current). I still need to finish the non home theater area of my basement with a bar/lounge area. If anything, I would rather spend money completing the whole basement project then upgrading equipment for awhile. I have actually been floating the idea of upgrading my living room system as I've been spending a lot more time there than the home theater lately. I replaced a dying 65 inch Panasonic plasma with a new 77 inch LG OLED recently and have been casually watching there instead of the basement. It would be nice to get rid of my large Outlaw sub in the living room and upgrade my bookshelves to full range towers... but that would also mean upgrading from my Denon receiver to something with a lot more oomph.

Yeah but it would just encourage the Thunderstruck drinking game and nothing good comes of that.

I’ve really come to enjoy the sound of the AMT tweeters that are in my dedicated home theater room setup. They are Golden Ears and they came up with some in house marketing name for them, something like folded ribbons. Anchored by tower fronts and their largest center with bookshelf’s and satellites to round out a full 7.2.4 system. They seem to combine the high volume and efficiency of some horn speakers with the warmth and detail of more traditional domes. Works out great for both movies and critical 2 channel music listening in a theater setup.

I said it earlier and so did a bunch of others, that for a bathroom higher quality doesn’t matter much. But getting back to audiophile topic… in a good acoustic room, once you get into the world of AV separates, a whole new audio world opens up and it’s easy to go down a rabbit hole.
