what's with the trend the last ten years to overbuild and overprice everything ? do we really need half million dollar systems ,,,,,, 500 pound amps .... 275 pound preamps and 800 pound speakers ? I remember years ago when the most extreme system you could even dream about was a all compression driver Goto bass horn full range system ..... maybe a hundred and fifty grand ? now power cables cost more then my whole system ! stop the insanity ! |
this was the end game ..... right here , posted on July 15, 2024 at 16:35:15 | |
