Local CBC says it's minus 12C but feels like minus 23C due to wind.
I'd better buy a new outdoor thermometer...or place the current

I can afford to buy a new boat, dummy.
Wife and I picked out one yesterday at the local boat show.
So? Come on...tell us more. Pictures?
Here I've spent hours reading and listening to computer sound systems, and you're

I have these. The controller is outstanding!

I looked at that in Best Buy. If they'd had one in stock, I may have brought it home.
Luckily, they were out of them. I came home, moved the subwoofer to a different spot,
and listened to the Saint-Saëns symphony at a reasonable volume. Sounded great, so
I'm going to stick with these old Logitech Z2300s for a while longer.

I bought mine from the Bose outlet store. 30% off retail and they seem
to hold their distributors to retail prices.
Amazon, Best Buy, Bose, etc, all want $399 for the Companion 5s. Only used, on Ebay,
is there a different price that I saw.
If I were to go with a different set, those would be the speakers, I think.

Interesting that Bose doesn't include frequency response in its on-line
specs, unless I missed it.

Ahh, so the frequency response numbers must be pretty crappy in
comparison to similarly priced speakers from other manufacturers...enjoy.
I've never been disappointed with any set of Bose speakers. Of course, unlike you I
don't listen to the frequency response numbers. I listen to the music.
Again, don't you ever just get f'ing sick of yourself?

Yup. A 'wag'.

No, Johnny, I'm not a racist pig full of hate, as you are.
As for little speakers, I'm just not convinced how well they can defy
the laws of physics, especially in the mid to lower ranges. My father in
law had an array of Bose speakers, professionally installed, and when I
first heard them, I thought they sounded like what you'd hear in the
average four speaker car radio system...but I never told him that, of
course.
Sounds like your father, God rest his soul, did two things wrong - fathered a liar
and didn't match speakers to the requirement. Professional installation of the wrong
speakers doesn't mean ****.
Get over yourself Krause.

My father preferred a Hammond B3 with a Leslie speaker. My father in law
was the Bose fan. I'm not sure you are in a position physically to judge
the quality of musical output from speakers.
Krause, I will say it again. Normal people buy speakers that produce sounds they
enjoy. You, obviously, prefer speakers which have suitable (to you) numbers. What
your father preferred has absolutely no bearing on anything, except perhaps to lend
some braggadocio to your arrogant arguments.
You're really stuck on yourself, eh Krause?
Anyone who appreciates a Hammond B3 with a Leslie is ok in my book.
Since it's development and then "hookup" with Leslie's rotating speaker
system, the Hammond B3 sound has become a basic cornerstone in all kinds
of music. Funny thing is that Laurens Hammond was not a musician or
organ player at all and, when he heard the first "Leslie" hooked up to
one of his organs, he freaked out and refused to sell Hammonds in any
retail store that also carried Don Leslie's rotating speaker.
Additionally, Hammond made continuous changes to the interface wiring
and cabling in an attempt to foil attempts to hook up a Leslie to the
organ. This is sometimes still a problem today if you buy a vintage
Hammond B3 and try to hook up a Leslie to it.
Eventually Lauren Hammond died and the management of the Hammond organ
company breathed a sigh of relief and signed a deal with Don Leslie to
supply speakers.
