Faces of War

<I>The Smithsonian</I> has a fascinating article about the Masks for Facial Disfigurement Department, which fitted disfigured veterans of the Great War with prosthetic faces. One benefit of reading it online is that there's an accompanying video.

Apartment Set Up

Forums

Hey everyone,
I have an apartment and am looking into getting a system for it. Mainly for music listening and also home theater. I am looking into getting 4 wharfedale 8.1s, a sub ( not sure what ), and the receiver ( not sure what ). Im looking to spend 1400 or less for the whole system. Any suggestions on these speakers or different kinds.

Behringer FCA 202

I will be writing more about this neat, little $80 24/96 firewire device over the next few days as I do some recording with it. Cheapskate is not the only one who looks for a bargain, you know. And yes, his Marantx SA 11 is a bargain considering what it does. Headphone output control on the front panel of this little 6" x 4.5" x 1" tall device makes this a truly user friendly. Your boss will never see it!

bookshelf questions

Forums

Hey everyone,
I am new to the speaker scene. I have a couple questions. First I currently own a pair of yamaha ns 333 (bookshelf). I wanted to know how these stack up to other bookshelves. I am looking into buying the wharfedale diamond 8.1 and putting the yamahas into my bedroom. What do you think is better the yamahas or wharfedales. Also on these speakers I have to purchases a receiver. Which is better the marantz SR 3001 or yamah RX-V659. Also the marantz sr 4001 may be a possiblity. Hoe does this stack up to the yamha rx-v659? Thanks
