Stereos & Speakers

[_RaT_]

Frank, good comments. You could spend many thousands on a great set of speakers and quite frankly, tell the difference. A set of Bose or other comparable sized small speaker and subwoofer do produce some pretty sound. I have much the same setup with a Velodyne sub. I still prefer my subless KEF's, but then, they are 3 times the size of my little M&K's. For music, I still far prefer non surround mode. Most audio folks seem to agree.

P.S. Who in the haleys designed the stinkin DVD jackets. You know, the 3 little clear plastic tabs that say "pull here" and don't work unless shredding is working. Then there's the bloody little indents inside that you are supposed to stick a finger under except you are blocked from doing so because of a plastic ridge so you have to bend and distort the disc. To top it off, why can't I stick the stinkin thing in and just have the blasted thing play. Disney seems to be the worst offender. 15 minutes of their other stuff. Hey, my kids watching this for the 37th time, I just want it to play! Whew, now thats that's off my chest, I can get back to tractor talk. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Rat...

It's a tough call on which way to go, whether an all in one system or a separate component system. An all in one system is usually less expensive but the down side is that if one piece goes out then the whole system is pretty much useless (sort of like the TV/DVD combos). On the component side and building your own, you have to know a little about what is going on or you could tie up a fortune and still have a pretty crappy sound. For ease of use, I would reccomend going with a Bose all in one system. One of my brothers bought the Bose system from Sears for about $900 (it has CD/DVD player, two speakers, subwoofer, am/fm radio and extra jacks to add a cassette deck or VCR, DVD player, etc). My other brother bought a Pioneer all in one and his center channel went out and render the system next to useless. That is my experience in dealing with the sound systems. I don't think you can go wrong by using Bose systems as they are top of the line. Check out Crutchfield as far as to get some ideas, but buy elsewhere as they are more expensive.

Hey Dave!

All of the courses are open down here. I played this past Sunday during our hurricane! Sure makes for some interesting ball flight!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

No, afraid not. My problem is I don't need anything more to take my mind OFF of the game. I need something more to keep my mind ON the game! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I did receive the clubs I ordered for the wife. They're a real nice set. They'll be just perfect to get her started again. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
