Yearg! B-Stocks or a Nintendo Wii?

[KojiroTakenashi]

If any of you are like me, you probably got the eMail...problem is, I only have a small amount of cash to go around. I don't know if I want to sell my classics (they could do center or rear duty)...So yeah, SE B-Stocks, or a Wii? Help me out here!

I want both

Yearg!? LOL! What's going on Kojiro? You have a pair of classic 170s now? Do you still have my old center channel? I'm tempted to jump on those B-stock 170s as well to use for rears.

My son is asking for a Wii from Santa.

Well, I just went $536 more into credit card debt Couldn't resist a deal like this for my surrounds.

[ebh]

the wii is pretty awesome...

but so are ascend speakers...

dunno what to tell you. i'm glad i have both

but if you already have classics, i'd say try out the wii.

Oh, I bought two used center channels and essentially made up a pair for $210 or thereabouts, one of them being yours, Mike. It was pretty tough to scrounge up, but eBay was the ticket - I suppose there was less percieved value for 1 speaker vs. the two.

Ideally I'd have both. Dad said he'd go halfway with me on a Wii...so maybe there's hope for it, although I don't know if I'll get enough paycheck in time.

Especially since I incurred the wrath of my Bank Fees for overdrawing it by 22 cents. Boo.

Are you using two 340 Classic centers as the left and right speaker? If so, the tweeter is not oriented correctly and the crossover is tweaked differently as well.....they are not the same as 340 mains.

[Mike^S]

No he's using two 170 centers.

[curtis]

Oh...oops.

If you have a 720P or better widescreen TV, I'd save the pennies for an XBox360, the High-Def visuals are mind-blowing. After playing Gears Of War on a 90" screen at 720P, I just can't except anything less. Hi-Def has ruined me.
On the other hand the Wii controller is a work of art. I need to win the lottery so I can buy them all.
