    Sure, looks good. I suppose there have been car-buying occasions in my life when, hey, I might have bought some hifi instead. Never happened.

    Needs to be no larger than 10.5" on any side. The minidsp offerings look the most interesting. Going to pair with either an old elemental designs 8 or 12.

    I would literally harvest pennies and sell them as copper to save and skip the T900A and get the T500mkII's.

    With Oppo ceasing audio operations just kind of shows how tricky the market has become. Hard to say if SU didn't buy Onkyo's audio stuff, would they have had enough money to continue on or would have closed up like Oppo/been sold to different buyers.

    With all those brands under the same corporate umbrella, I'll probably just stick with the higher end Yamaha stuff for home theater. I've found it to be in general more reliable with a better UI. I own Marantz now, and have been underwhelmed.

    How long until Sound United buys out the Yamaha home theater side. SU will swallow up every receiver brand!
    
    Wonder for us, who works with SU with Denon/Marantz if the Onkyo/Pioneer umbrella extends to us or they will want to keep it in big box stores. Sony makes us order a certain amount of their receivers for our quota every quarter.

    Google has almost enough cash on hand to match Ukraine's entire GDP, and routinely shrugs off fines which would bankrupt entire companies (and third world nations). It's no wonder why they can scale anything if they really want to haha.

    Plus, it takes a binding U.N. resolution, an act of Congress, a declaration of war including lists of grievances, AND the Postmaster's authorization to pay the claim out. He/She is a federal employee, so good luck getting them off their ass to sign the check. So, yeah, fuck the USPS.
