Alright, it's not black, but it's my second favorite color: blurple!

Rhombic prism or rhomboid would be the two most likely choices.

The gears that open and close on one of my Sony players are broken -- it could be something like that? In which case it's fixable. I just need to get around to it, in my case (this is the early CD/SACD player without the DVD functionality, so it's a keeper).

First, that is the correct spelling of rhombus. Second, that makes no sense -- rhombus is a 2-dimensional geometric shape. Third, no, you're a rhombus.

This being the entire set of search results when safesearch is on.

I misread it as being a vintage NAD as well. Well, if you don't want the Wharfdales, then don't get the Wharfdales. I got a pair of Pioneer HPM-200's, and they're pretty much too big for anything other than an entire floor (read: basement) of most houses I've been in (read: non-mansions). I'm having a hard time bringing myself to selling them, because I really want them, and now I have them. Alas, it is not meant to be.

Yeah, I've had it before. In college. It was called being drunk off my ass.

I've only ever heard used pairs, so have no experience with L3000-specific burn-in.

I stand by "burn-in is real". Though I agree that the newbs and the zealots give those of us who believe a bad name, and I disagree that it goes to the extremes that they describe, and I do not believe that they can hear differences of the fine-tuned-ness that they claim. 576 hours vs. 577 hours, WTF? I mean, I had a pair of silver interconnects that went from having no bass to having bass, and it took several weeks. What I could not tell you is exactly which hour the bass kicked in.

What state is the NAD in? If it's good, then I'd say go for the speakers. I've heard good things about Wharfdales.

Bile?

And/or state of mind, humidity, localized endorphine generation, imagination, changes in blood sugar levels, mild strokes, and other nonsense.

Awesome.

Stupid moniker. Nice ass-kissing. The jury is still out.

Bipolar. She coos like a pigeon when she's happy, and she whines like a baby when she's cranky. And the two are remarkable in that they can transition between rooms.

My opinion of you just went up a notch.

Also helps if your amp can handle what is essentially an open load. (Oversimplification, I'll let others explain the details.)

I got a cat.

I really want her abs.

I enjoyed all the size comparisons.

I think I have some orthodynamic shoes...ortho something, anyway...

You're welcome.

Yup. That said, the wings on the L3000 flip up enough that it's actually a better stand than letting them hang. Yeah, you're right, I should keep it in its box.

I've heard nothing but good things about them. That said, I like my bass, so would probably go for the V3, which is even cheaper than the Mini (at least, MSRP is less).
