NOMBEDES Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I live in Arizona. I would need convincing that there are any people in Minnesota during the Winter. Because they are all here! The stores are full, the roads are crowded, the restaurant owners are happy. When Summer comes and it is over 110 for 10 days in a row and over 100 for a few months you could get rather lonely.

sphinxsix Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The guy likes to have lots of tweeters. I can't recall the brand's name, I've seen those speakers before. Just asking myself - is he doing a comparative evaluation of the soundstage width.? Beside that IMO it's a boring blog, I knew audiophiles 15 times crazier than that Link to comment

Winter was Snowbird’s ville and it was mayhem on the street. But I’ve also lived in the Twin Cities. My first summer night in Mpls there were six funnel clouds reported and the skies were emerald green. Then winter...-60+ wind chill and 2 feet high drifts of snow. I headed back to AZ the first winter. Break at the U! AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment

Got about 9/10 through shotgunning out a paragraph before realizing I wouldn't be able to stop. I'll make the excuse if you don't have something nice to say you should keep your mouth shut. I spent one Winter in AZ. It was surreal walking around on bare ground and seeing saguaro lit up like Christmas trees. Then on NYE I shoveled in the New Year clearing a wet blizzard off my tent in the mountains outside Tombstone. Snowball fights in the morning with the locals who all drove 15 miles off the highway in there was certainly memorable for all. AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment
