Can't afford what i'd like to have at home so i don't bother. I spend most of my free time on my harley. If i need to strap something to the bike though, i use monster cable.

I bought the amp and those speakers from a mutual acquaintance of ours...

Mind if I ask who?

I should be ashamed, but I'm really not, my theater is in my bedroom, and never gets watched.
AVR1803
Energy Take 5
Panasonic DVD player
Marantz 5000 remote.
When a customer asks what my theater is, i usually fill their toilet and point at it. Just kidding. But not really.

2 channel is what I really like, so I'm always piecing together a system. Speakers from Energy or Canton currently, trying to trade for a set of RSB's amps from Meridian or Adcom. I'm trying to do it old school again, and go back to a basic tube set-up, build my own most likely. The thing is, is that like my lawn, it will never get done.

Rick's former employer, also a rep I've done business with since about 1982.

my problem is my home system is never finished....I keep changing things out, borrowing a cable here and there, using a component as a loan to a customer who has a warranty or backorder issue. Also, we occasionally have some of our bigger customers to my home for dinner and a movie so they see exactly what we can do. Thus my home system always has to be up to date which requires just about a weekly upgrade.

Very frustrating, so I usually laugh when people ask me that question.

Chicago guys know who...

I think I still owe him $100 bucks on it actually...
