Great idea. The next time I need something shipped locally, I'll have to look into the courier route. As for sellers shipping to me, I feel like I'm stuck - Fedex and UPS are so far entrenched that it seems like just about every business uses them. That's how their systems are set up and I...

My first reaction was "Why did you use the same shipper who screwed you 3 weeks earlier?" Of course, once I thought about it I realized that you, the consumer, often has ZERO choice which shipper is used to deliver your equipment. I have countless horror stories of both Fedex and UPS screwups...

I thought liked the orange, until I saw that beautiful red in today's ptA article. Very attractive. The adjustability of the driver positioning sets it apart from any other speaker that I am aware of.

I agree, NY pizza is great. I assume we're talking about Neapolitan-style thin crust. Never had New Haven pizza. Chicago (if we're talking about their famous insanely thick, crust-on-top) pizza doesn't do anything for me. Detroit-style deep dish pizza is very good. Personally, I would rate it...

I don't understand that at all. Your ears are the ONLY instruments that are 100% trustworthy in measuring whether something sounds good to you or not.

Elliot, I tried to post a reply in the thread, but no further replies are allowed? What is that about? I don't want to see the hate post, but would you tell me who the individual and company who posted it is? Re: your comment that you're always the bad guy. NOT TRUE. The bad guys are those...

Mike, have you talked to Mike, the owner of this forum and Suncoast Audio? He set me up with cables that match my system and budget, and saved me who knows how much money, let alone time, thanks to his expertise and experience in meeting the customer's needs and budgets. If I were you, I...

Wow, that sound system is pretty rare, at least as far as I've seen or heard of. Does it sound decent? I remember using TDK SA90 and SAX90's, and I believe Maxell C90's. At the very end of my cassette period, I started using BASF, don't recall the exact one. I preferred Type 2 - high bias...

Man, I wish I could have attended that show! Count me as one who enjoyed the sound of cassettes. Not to mention their convenience - I could put any album I had on tape, I could record live concerts on the radio and listen to them on the car stereo - Kenwood, Pioneer, Clarion, Alpine - I...

Yep, I remember hearing Sultans of Swing for the first time on the radio and I thought - Whoa! This band is different. I have enjoyed all of their albums, seen them a couple of times, and in recent years I'm blown away again - by Knopfler's solo work. His complete package - writing, singing...

I listen to the car radio all of the time. Especially when you're close to the transmitter, the sound is fantastic. Mostly public radio, and not only because I love jazz and classical music. My favorites are those funded by listeners and donors, with no NPR involvement. College stations are...

Add me to the "some of us" list, Kramer. Sad as it is, some people just can't handle a direct and truthful conversation. Especially if it exposes questionable practices and/or, God forbid, hurts precious feelings. Personally, I would rather have someone speak directly and tell me the truth...

Thanks for the quick reply, AJ! Those are both impressive speakers, and if the Titans are still in the ballpark of $22k, they look like a real steal. With twelve 12" woofers, they must dig very deep!
