Its for real and i've heard new order played through a pair. Sensational. The four speakers at the bottom are actually 4 drivers facing inwards and 4 more facing them at the back. When they tested them the plaster on the walls in the factory cracked from the amount of bass being produced.

If £24,000 is a bit steep, why not get a pair of ACT one's? a snip at £6,995! :D

And our home is a 2 bedroom apartment, that way, when she get's pissed at me, I can sleep in the guest room, well, actually, it's a nice place to keep the computer, and various other loads of crap, and a place to put up visitors when they decide to show up!

Car shopping now, still driving a Nissan pickup

The hi-fi is a mish-mash of components

TV is a Toshiba 27"

PC is a Compaq 850 mhz with a 40 GB Hard drive

Currently a two-level house with large wooden floors. Unfortunately, it's across the street from a McDonald's, and lazy gits of all types usually deposit their trash on my lawn at least 3 times a week (this morning I found a freaking carburetor in my driveway:nonono: I suppose it could have been worse, being a bunch of used diapers).

car: Mazda Tribute 2001 LX Sport (4x4 SUV, same as Ford Escape)

Hi-fi: See PC.

TV: JVC 32", I have a screen in the lineup in the "how to get more debts" category, but it's not for now, I have a quite decent sound system with 5 speakers (missing sub) and an Apex DVD player.

PC: Dell Dimension (P4 1.5 GHz with flat screen monitor and dolby digital 5.1 surround speakers system).. well, remember, this is my job :D

Home: 3 bedrooms bungalow with pool quite near of a river.. not big, just enough for two people, thinking about a family someday.

Don't worry boys and gals, I've been buying most of this when I got the big job, not after I lost it and suffered a pretty big drop salary-wise.. :(

But well, at least I have those, so I'm not so desperate :wink:
