You are on the right track. Bluetooth, while convenient, just doesn't have the fidelity.

Well, I didn't say all small speakers could be pushed up against a wall. In fact, most get kinda boomy if you do, and if they have rear-firing ports that's a definite no-no (and the designers should have taken that into account and advise at least a few inches of clearance so the port isn't clamped.) I'm just saying some ARE designed to be against the wall. Horses for courses. (Appropriate, given the day.)

I'm usually not a fan of your hoops takes but this is poetry. Two of the most infamous quiet-quitters in NBA history. Granted I have nothing against Harden and have always hoped he'd figure it out - but he is exactly what Kawhi deserves. Spurs should keep Ty Lue on the back burner in case Mitch doesn't work out.

Haven't been to TMS, but at plenty of other tracks, the general rule is "don't bring something that is undeniably gigantic and conspicuous." If it's not going to be large enough to inconvenience people seated near you, you should be fine. It's hard to tell exactly how big that thing is (awesome how Academy doesn't list the dimensions, not like that's ever important with coolers...) but I would give it a shot. If you get turned away, go to another gate or two until you find the guy who doesn't give a shit. Just in case you fully strike out, I would also leave a smaller cooler in the car. Worst case scenario, you have to go back to the car and return with a few fewer beers.

At some point, I'm going to modernize my stereo. Unfortunately, many of the "higher fi" brands seem to have pretty crappy technology solutions to go with their nice amplifier electronics. And I am disinclined to spend $1k on a streamer to go with an amp. Based on @jimmyjazz recommendations of Yamaha stuff for mid-fi, I think my next receiver is probably going to be this https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/hifi_components/r-n303/index.html I have had bad past experiences with Bluetooth, so wifi/Ethernet vastly appeals to me and not necessarily having to use my phone or a PC to cue things up appeals as well. It seems to have a Burr-Brown DAC, which I have experience with, they're reputable and I know it makes a huge difference.

Fuck that. In San Marcos there was a crazy chick who carried her hairless cat around with her in a backpack..... She was hot, but the cray won. -
I thought Harden would maybe have a 6-19 game, but he isn’t even interested enough to shoot. As a basketball player he is a loser you do not want on your team. No player in the history of the NBA put up more stats and did less once the playoffs started than this guy. He and Kawhi are perfect for each other.

2025 NHL Playoffs Thread - Let the madness begin!
Pig Bellmont replied to Longhorn_Fan68's topic in Other Sports
I dunno, I have a hard time hating on this, bc I think he’s beating himself up here. I interpreted that to be like “I’ve studied and I know exactly how I’m failing” with a bit of anger. That said it shows how much he’s in his head and the pressure to perform in the playoffs has caused him to crack. He’s broken -
Joc and Semien due up. See y'all tomorrow.

Why did I even turn this dogshit on.

I defer to your acoustic expertise, but many bookshelf designs have rear-facing ports or passive radiators simply because of size, thus causing the recommendation to keep them away from walls. Like you said, it's not so much a matter of the wavelengths as the speaker design itself. And not every bookshelf design has those things.

The James Harden 2-11 patented game search is still on!

It's all about the kids having a good time at the state fair. Ride some rides, get some fried butter, maybe a cookie. You can't just go get explosive plays so why bother.

This should kill off any remaining sentiment about bringing Harden back to Houston. Good riddance you regards.

Boobies.
