If a home theater system goes BOOM and there's no around to hear it, did it make a surround sound?

What is the final upgrade?
Posted on: 01 July 2001 by ken c

oh, and every upgrade makes the previous component sound unclear, shut in, undynamic, slow, lightweight, i.e. broken...

enjoy

For your delectation:

If Naim made a 55wpc integrated, would Tuan buy it?

and for Vuk...

If Furtwangler conducted Paul McCartney's 'Liverpool Symphony', would it sound good?

finally...

If my wife hadn't asked her irate company president if "he had his period or something", would she still be working there?
