I'm excited to hear how nicely things sound since they are voiced similarly and the price was just right for them considering they are bi-ampable as well. Still trying to decide if I want a center for when I'm doing tv and movies, but am not sure if it's worth the investment since I've never had one. Any suggestions? Seem like decent speakers with some good reviews. The center question is better for Matt, as I have not had a surround sound set-up in 10+ years. The only thing I remember is the center pretty much takes over the voice duty from the other speakers on multi-track movies. Edit: Appleseedcast in Pittsburgh Dom? I might have to go.

Yea the reviews are what got me and for the price point it was hard to say no. Who can refuse a full set of 4 for less than $400 shipped? I got everything from Newegg, and it's my first time dealing with them, so I hope that goes well. I was able to pick up the bookshelves for $30 less by grabbing an open box pair, so more money for records! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I hate when they let charities set up in the Dunkin Donuts drive thru. I'm just trying to get some coffee, I don't want to have to feel guilty. Getting DD makes my inner coffee snob guilty enough. Today it was some police related organization so I just said "Black lives matter" as they started to say something. They shut up and backed away.

Just saying, a simple "sorry, no thanks" probably could have achieved the same thing without sounding like a dick. They should have let you have your coffee first.

They had the best price I could find and plenty of reviews for what I was buying so I figured it would be safe since even the open boxed item has the same normal return policy. Thanks for the info! Did you order that How it Feels reissue and if so did you get yours yet? Edited August 5, 2016 by GreatGreenOne77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't yet, but when I saw it on Instagram yesterday I had to "find" the cash to get one lol. I was wondering how it sounded and if it was as pretty as the pictures I've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Super pretty, it looks like marble. Subpop rarely disappoints on quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was super happy with their last Red House Painters reissue. Not a single pop or click the entire way through and nice thick cardstock inners vs. the plain paper ones in the OG I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The only weird thing was they used a CD booklet, like the OG release and the record came in a plastic inner sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to buy them off goodyear.com, and pick a place to get them installed. I can send you a code to check prices if you want. You can apply it without using it to see the discount and total with installation/tax/disposal/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTacoMunster Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I know I need to invest in a proper cleaning system, but in the meantime, can someone super clean a record for me? Open the record brand new and it skips all of the place, so hopefully a good cleaning would help. obviously ill pay the round trip cost for it, id appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas³ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Will do. I'm going to play with some more after work. I think adding in a distilled water rinse will clear up the extra noise from the fluid. Always fun trying something new. KingTacoMunster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
