My job quitting got weird. Guess it was the straw that broke the camels back, quite a few others had just walked and the sales team went ballistic on the management team. Currently there is an attempt underway to oust this current management team. I'm still leaving, but they are sending me and this lady way up the chain of command to go talk with the executive level people. It's interesting.
They always offer more money or a promotion to good people that quit. It’s happened to ma a few times. I reply with; “if I wasn’t worth the raise before I offered my resignation, why am I worth it now?”

I still made an effort to avoid burning bridges though. You’ll never know when and where you might find these people in the future.

Good luck with your new job.

Typically I agree regarding burning bridges, but this is kind of a case of hitting back after getting punched a bunch, no bridge there to burn. The group that I am aligned with are also in a vastly better spot to offer any future help.

Yeah, got a "name your price and make your own job" to stay. Still a hard no for the exact reason you stated.

Marantz was very big in the 70s. But McIntosh was way out of my spending limit. I still use a Sony multichannel receiver from 2000 for everything, including movies. One thing about digital is it levels the playing field and they are cheaper to make. I kind of miss those days of studying specs, though and getting the best that I could afford.
I hate it when my speakers get smaller over time.
Okay, let's say popular. That said, it takes a large cone to move the air for good bass that one can feel. Bose does it electronically, but the feel is gone. I have them too, for the surround.
Edit; That's where subwoofers come in, but they take space.

I've got a lot of sound equipment. Almost none of it bought new. The upstairs of my house has three rooms. There is the library and the rest is stereo equipment. But when I was trying to get sound down at the riverhouse, I had three sets of speakers that had to be discarded. Maybe they sat too many years without moving. In the end I brought my main speakers from work. I'm using the surround speakers there now. (only working one day a week, so how much music can I listen to anyway)

Your Polks look distressingly like Bose "direct/reflecting". I met a pair of those in '79. Big sound if not razor sharp.

Note logo.

I dont know about those, but current Bose is crap. They ue dishonest equalization to make "big bass" from small boxes. The bass is equal parts boom and mush.
Phase integrity must be maintained for proper imaging as well as frequency response

Maybe the damp environment. Yeah, like humans, it's use it, or lose it with voice coils. When I worked for JBL, they would take in speakers, evaluate them and re-cone them, if needed, for free. They were guaranteed for life and big production companies would routinely send them in after every concert. I seriously doubt they still have that guarantee in place. I worked in Customer Service and got to see a lot of the Professional Series stuff that wasn't advertised to the public. JBL even made amplifiers back then that were for pros only.

I'm an addict when it comes to music/audio equipment (that and film :) )
I have spent a LOT of money buying/upgrading equipment.
I can't remember 3/4 of the stuff I owned over the years, just certain items, like my 1st own audio device that I got in 1968 & was a Realistic cassette player from RadioShack that I would play on a loop this (all I had on cassette then)
I got a little AIWA portable reel-to-reel recorder for Christmas in 1968

Is that your sister?
She looks sweet.
You, on the other hand seem to be expressing a Dark side (maybe it's the hair :) )
Have you ever been been arrested?
I'll bet you have
:)
Yes, that's my sister and she was a sweet kid

I've been arrested several times for various victimless offenses- once for "drinking in a historical district" in Lahaina, Maui

It turned out that the arresting officer had gone to the same highschool as I had my freshman year so they let me go

I called jimdamick out for giving others shit about there handle,all because he doesnt like ak47’s which means no man can use ak47 as a handle.

no need for pretentious ways and having a go at other users of rollitup. Maybe jimdamic should not use rollitup to tell others what to do in his passive aggressive manners. Nobody has to do as you do jimdamick

That’s adorable! You are so cute.
That Xmas tree though leaves something to be desired though, don't you think?
White?
The only people that know of that have fake white Christmas trees are either Italians, Chinese or Jews.

Which one are you @Sir Napsalot?

Now this is an Irish Christmas tree.

This is me and my boy stealing the tree from my neighbors yard (Gotta train them early :) )
