Reading all the petty arguments going back and forth in some of the threads on this forum I realized that what is needed around here is a good old fashion Celebrity Death Match, as once seen on MTV, at least I think that the show used to be on MTV.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/092005knowing/">I knew nothing</a> about high end hi-fi. Hard to believe, I know. But true. I didn't even know that the high end existed. My Magnavox boombox worked just fine. As a person grew older and gained the responsibilities and markings of an adult, I knew that his or her speakers and amplifiers grew larger and flashier and more expensive&#151like their houses and cars and debt&#151but I didn't equate those changes with better sound. I didn't even think about better sound.

In <I>Aural Robert</I> in the April issue of <I>Stereophile</I>, Amoeba owner David Prinz and I discuss his label, Amoeba Records, and his ongoing program to reissue Gram Parsons live sets.

As the owner of the biggest and best independent record stores on planet Earth, his opinion carries more than a little weight. Here's a sampling of what he said about the biz and the specter of iTunes.

I have a pair of vienna acoustics motzart grand, i drive them using arcam AVR300.
I just moved into a new apartment, i am trying to set them up.
its a 10x14 room and floor is hardwood they call it pumpkin pine wood floor, I am in Maine, so that could be a local name.
I noticed that when i speak it kind of booms in the room.

so i am trying to listen to my speakers, I have tried various positioning techniques, everything, i don't get any sort of pleasure listening to music at all, so i have completely stopped listening to music for now.
