New offer hard to refuse!

Nope. Nevermind then, because you'd know, as my username is ALWAYS the same one at over 300 audio forums across the planet (internet). Well, actually, only once it was "HolyGrail", but no more now.

That's it for now Paul.

Let's remain civil gentlemen.

Just a short break here folks for an important message.




Gentlepersons
The Emotiva Lounge is intended to be a place to hang out and relax with other audio-video enthusiasts and friends! We view it as a social and educational portal, and an extension of Emotiva Audio. This is a private forum owned and operated by Emotiva Audio.

The great majority of our visitors and members conduct themselves with good manners and are welcome in our virtual home. However, as in all communities, we have a few individuals whose behavior spoils it for everyone else.

I've had several long time members come to me privately and ask what can be done to restore the good natured and pleasant vibe we have worked so hard to create and maintain. They feel, as I do , that we are drifting toward a place that none of us want to go to.... So, here goes:

This is not a street corner. You are not exercising constitutionally guaranteed free speech here; we DO NOT have to listen to, and endure, bad behavior. This is not a G8 summit!

In order to make your visit as pleasant and constructive as possible, please take a moment to read the following guidelines. I like to think of these as the 11 commandments for happy lounge living!


1. Please keep the discussion focused. Topics outside the scope of a given thread may be moved, locked, or simply deleted at our discretion. For off topic subjects, please use the Green Room.

2. Please use the search function before posting; your question may have been previously answered.

3. Be nice to each other and respect the moderators. Profanity, insults, knocking other brands, and generally rude behavior will not be tolerated. Period. Opinions are welcome, not bad behavior.

4. If you have a problem with another member, please turn to a moderator for help.

5. Do not spam. Also, we do not tolerate blatant advertising. Telling your buddies about a great product is one thing, but this is not a store front for another brand.

6. No cross posting. Please post your message once to the appropriate forum and nowhere else.

7. Use a title that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention.

8. Multiple registrations are prohibited and are grounds for immediate account deletion.

9. Please read the Emporium rules before advertising gear in the Emporium.

10. Instructions from the moderator team are to be followed. Period.

11. Discussion and opinions are welcome, but we must insist on civility. It’s really simple: Treat others as you would wish them to treat you.

This is a meeting place for hobbyists and friends to share their knowledge, their passion, AND opinions. But, remember, it’s supposed to be FUN and CIVIL!

Remember, a frown is just a smile upside down!! Corny, uh?

Now, go forth and sin no more.

Thank you,
Big Dan, the Emotiva staff, and your hard working VOLUNTEER moderators



Thanks Folks! Now back to the thread.

my head is spinning after all of that.....stuff....

Actually, to be quite honest, I really didn't like "300" very much. Cool audio, cool effects, but the rest just didn't do it for me at all. So...

No sweat Paul, it was just a simple suggestion using many words, that's all.

And please, some people, you don't have to go overboard (as I do) and get the wrong impression (as I don't).

After all, we're all in here to have fun, right?

That was exactly my intention. ;D

[LCSeminole]

Gentlepersons,

I just decided to run through this thread, and as one of the moderators "Chuckienut" stated a few posts back, take a breather. This thread is close to being way off track with just the few personal attacks of a forum member. Those types of posts belong in a PM or off the board completely. "Locking" a thread would not normally be my first choice of action, but when a thread has lost its usefulness it will become the only viable option. Please stay on track.

[NorthStar]

I reread this entire thread today, and I found it very good.

* I just wish that perhaps one or two words (at most) could have been omitted. I really want only Peace and Fun and Learning in all the threads (mine in particular). I feel I'm at 99.5 % of that goal here, which is excellent. I luv everyone here without exception; this site is much better than others I know of, believe me.

Now, I am ecstatic with my newest purchase, the Yamaha RX-Z11 A/V Receiver. This receiver was originally priced at $5,500 USA and weights a healthy 75 pounds of inside beauty.
Now, I just paid $1,500 CDN for it (mint condition & no tax, firm from my buddy).
I am still examining all the inners, and I was thinking of sharing with the rest of you, but only if you truly are interested. Time is very precious for me, and I try to put it where it counts the most.
This is the main basis of audio forums; if I cannot get where I should, why be there in the first place? But I truly believe that this is the place where I belong. Just too many great people here, and that is a fact. We are not perfect for sure, but we certainly strive for it; I know I do, I know most people here (99%) also do. That is the best average of almost perfect people that I've seen in the last 10 years or so, all across the internet of the entire world.
And trust me on this, I know, and I'm a highballer.

Sooo, can we all get along nicely just like grown up men? Geez, I'll be 75 next month!
...Well getting close at least.

Thanks for listening to that broadcast, and luv ya all.

Bob & Gabriela (your LOTR humble servitors)

^ Does this guy (girl) makes any sense at all?

Anywooo, he's got a heck of a deal on that Z11 for sure. I think he did excellent to have jump on it.
...I just wish I could be him (or at least been in his shoes when that offer was offered to him).

[LCSeminole]

I do have to say I just visited the Yamaha site and read up on the Z11. Quite impressive specs. I used to like the looks of the Onkyo receivers, but IMO they've recently been beaten with an ugly stick. The Yamaha receivers OTOH are quite attractive. The "HD Radio" feature on the Z11 interests me enough that I'd like to see that on a future Emotiva processor, (Hemster planted that idea in my head recently).

[DoingOK]

go for it.

[NorthStar]

I already gave my comment here about my own thread that I started.
I don't want to have it closed, I said it, all the people that posted here already are ALL mighty fine people.
Too many good things and very precious time has been invested already; to intervene would be a big mistake in my book. I'm old enough to take care of very minor nothings.

I appreciate what the mods are trying to do, but it ain't by closing thread(s) that you are helping out. Besides, there is nothing of worthwhile concern to report here, to the contrary, there is too much positive info.

And I know you already contacted the party (ies) in question; so everything's been taking care off now. I don't want to start all over. I want this to keep going to higher levels and listen to what people have to bring to the table. And I got much more to bring myself. And it's all very very good too.

We're all good now, I know it and it only can get better from now on.

Oh dear.. OK I own up to that! Actually, if you haven't listened to HD-Radio, give it a try. To me, it's much much better. It's like listening to a CD rather then what we've come to know as FM radio. And AFAIK, there are no licensing issues to make the tuner HD-Radio capable. So why not?

[NorthStar]

^ Only problem hemster is reception area of these ditto HD stations. There are not too many of them outside the big cities. And myself living in Canada means ZIP.
I got three receivers now with HD radio, and what do I get? Exactemente.

...That will teach me for being a Canadian citizen.
