my Pioneer speakers - they're about 3 feet high. They stand as a sad, and silent reminder of the force and vigor with which I deployed them against not only mine, but everyone's dentistry..

Those, coincidentally, wouldn’t be Pioneer CS-905s or the like would they?  I’m just curious…and know how unlikely it is, but my 905s are about 3’ tall and badmoterfingers for a pair of cabinet speakers bought in Okinawa way back in ‘85.  I nearly never use mine anymore; the entire component system in the corner has become obsolete to a dinky azz 5 speaker subwoofer unit on the PC.  Funny…the Vinyls and CDs used to mean so much, …organizing them and smiling at them and lining them up beside the five disc changer into the wee hours of the night’s party.  Now they’re just visual décor…like…doilies and knickknacks & the rubber tree plant.
