Wisconsin GTG discussion

There's also a Judge Reinhold scene where he's an inept hi fi salesman, can't quite remember the movie yet. Dave, you must know all these scenes by heart, yes? (Sorry to be off topic--feel free to move this)

And that would we one of the alltime greats, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"

Judge played "Brad" in that movie --- ahh, the memories of Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool....

Agreed FT at RH is an alltime great--especially considering I'm 46 now and was in hs when it was out. I can still remember a dozen or so quotes. Not to mention the infamous Phoebe scene w Brad in the bathroom (Jesus, doesnkt anybody knock?!). And Sean Penn + Forrest Whittaker to boot.
However, Brad worked at a fast food burger joint--I think the speaker salesman character was another movie. I'm seein Danny DeVito in it too.

Just chiming in, but from what I've seen, an informal GTG under less than ideal conditions (with exceptional equipment no less) is really only intended to showcase how unrealistically poor something 'great', can sound.

Loudly blaring a mediocre quality source under those conditions only emphasizes that, possibly even causing damage as a result, sadly. It's really only to make something sound as bad as possible, by the sounds of it. The more unnoticeable a piece of equipment is under those conditions is, the better off it is, IMO.

Ironically, subjecting something in this way doesn't seem all that much different from using much cheaper gear for the same purposes. You'd get nearly the same result.

you are right, Brad worked at "All American Burger" -- it was someone else who dated Brad's sister (Jennier Jason Leigh) who was a lot older... I think I am going Netflix it tonight

This, from "Ruthless People". Still searching for Cheadle's scene.

Hilarious! Dave, I think you now have a new marketing slogan for Ascend: "30 inches of thigh slappin, blood pumpin, nuclear brain damage".

When I had my Genesis 6.1 speakers, my friends teased me by calling them the Dominators.

I sold all of that big stuff, and now am in smug bliss with my Sierra-1 system.

Now from 2013, did you ever choose? I', also thinking about the RAAL Towers and the Philharmonic 3s or Slims.
