    You have no idea what you are talking about. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Listen to the ones above. Not everything is cheap. Price is a reflection of quality. Why do you think that a 52" flat screen is from -£ to +£ at the same size?

    I dunno - lets try some guesses!

    Because some folks have tintitus and don't hear the difference on their speakers?

    Because some folks have more money and buy pricier stuff to show their station in life?

    Because some folks limit their audio budget and put a higher value on other things in their life?

    Got any other theories, pilgrim?

    Let’s say if Bill Gates gave me £10billion I’d give it to you to flash around because it means nothing to me. I have my plastic JBL and my cat and that’s all I want. I might keep £1million You'll be some£9.9billion better off. But would you know what to do with it? That's more money than 10 life times than you'll ever see. Remember money never buys happiness in life.

    What are you - some school child talking parables?

    You're the one who naively asked - Why do some amps cost more than others??

    10 Billion?? - That's more money than anyone here will probably see - in fact, its pure SWAG hyperbole - useless when it comes to having a real conversation with anyone.

    Well..., you see there's the problem right there. Your calculator doesn't seem to work any better than your noise meter. (Maybe they're made by the same company.) Perhaps you should invest in an hp calculator.

    You’d think after spending a lot of money on an SPL db metre , you’d think the least they can do is supply your first free battery.

    Yet they give you, your first free batteries with a remote that comes with TV or DVD player.

    The rest! *Batteries Not Included


    What I need is one of these little people They're the fix-its. They like to fix things. They have that knack.

    It's like entering an alternative universe following these threads, they're like some Dali-esque avant-garde performance piece.

    I tend to think its like entering a room with a loud child ...
    who doesn't quite follow the conversation but has to shout his way into every one of them nonetheless!
    Oh, and slaps stupid pictures over the walls in the meantime ...

    Pub-o-clock anyone?
