Ma's and Dad's yelling "Eat your spinach" isn't an urban legend,
that's for sure. I like spinach except for the canned stuff.
That's what got me yelled at.

I guess I was a weirdo as a kid. Loved spinach. Too much Popeye maybe.
I also always asked my mother to strain the water it was cooked in into a
glass and drank it as well. Put a pat of butter in it, let it melt, stir
and bottom's up.

All of us, as kids, ate spinach as kids and liked it. Now only a
couple of us like it.

Different subject: Martin Logan Aerius speakers. What do you think?

What are you asking for the ones you're selling. I assume age doesn't
really detract from them either, true? I saw a pair on Ebay yesterday
for some $560 or thereabouts. The Aerius speakers seem less demanding
of a large room than the SL3s.

They are good. Until you hear the SL3's or any of the larger ML's. Still
critical to room placement and you need a decent amp to drive them.

There were some problems with the high voltage section of some Aerius
speakers.
Both my sons have a pair and one of them developed the problem. The other
set is fine. They were manufacture red about a year or so apart from each
other, sometime in the 2003-2004 timeframe.

Fried the high voltage supply and controller associated with it.
Martin-Logan acknowledged there was a problem in some of the speakers
manufactured in that period and, even though well out of warranty, supplied
all new electronics to repair.

Depending on age and condition, $500 for a set seems very reasonable. It's
about what the ones I have are worth. I don't recall exactly but I think
they sold new for around $1,600 to $1,800 a pair.
