The holidays are fast approaching, and already I'm getting hundreds of PM's asking what to get me for pressies. A nice pair of these new 909 reference speakers from Jamo (http://www.jamo.com/) will do nicely, and look great under my tree. :)

Nice:thumbsup:
This (http://www.definitivetech.com/reviews/BP2006TLSV.pdf)is my set in the basement. Not quite a reference speaker, but even without an external subwoofer I can easily vibrate the floor upstairs and still the sound is sweet. :D
What I need now is a phono preamp 'cause I was an idiot and didn't get a receiver with one built in. I can't decide between spending $25 or $2000 for it :dizzy: ;)

Around $15,000. USD. But the enjoyment it'll bring me is priceless.
Start saving. :)

$0.15 and growing..... :D

I think the tangerine coloured ones would suit the paisley carpet better though.
I've sent all my Tesco "sports for school" tokens, and all my various old banknotes from countries that have since joined the Euro - that should swell the pot a bit ;-)

I wish I'd known they culd be used, my daughter just took ours to school. I would kept them cause I think zip is a much more worthy cause. :cool:

But, I don't hold a grudge. I made a late night raid on the school and reclaimed the boxtops and a few more, too. They are on their way as we speak. I also, ended up with a box of used printer cartridges, anyone want them? :hmm:
