Ok, V5s are great. No love for the Pilot G2 though? I bought my first G2 a little over a year ago, and haven't changed since.

Honestly, couldn't the problem simply be a lack of benches to sit on? Lots of places in my area (Central Pennsylvania) ask kids to not sit on stairs because people are trying to actually use them as stairs.

And I'm sure there are lots of ways to keep stairs convenient for walkers while uncomfortable to anyone (not just children) who loiter on them. But the idea to get rid of railings because loiterers 'lean' on them is asinine.

I would agree with a lot of that. Not that the CPU is dead (wha?), but a good CPU isn't nearly as necessary as a good GPU for gaming. I have a Core 2 Duo E4300 (bottom of the line C2D), but a GeForce 7900 that works pretty well. My wife has a CELERON (oh, the humanity!) but some 8000 series GPU, and her and I play games like Team Fortress 2 and the Ship together all the time. Everything looks and plays fine; why waste several hundred on a huge CPU? Not worth it.

Hey, I have those exact same speakers. I have a tiny office space and they're right up next to the wall. Along with the other comments, they have bass roll-off switches. When actually mixing, I move the bass switches on both monitors to the far side. But most of the time I'm just jamming, and I get this wonderful, subtle rumble when all of the settings are left flat. They sound amazing.

HOWEVER, some songs I play have the worst (best?) resonance to rumble the washer/dryer in the other room. Plopping a blanket down on both solves that problem.

Come to think of it, I'm probably not a very good person to talk to about monitors... but I fell in love with my HS-80M's and had to comment. :-)

As long as your headphones are RIAA-approved and carry an encrypted digital signal straight to your head with none of these so-called "analog holes"...

We've had these in Central Pennsylvania for a while. I played with one when I was a kid, only they were made of metal, and you could injure other kids with it. Probably why they stopped making them, and why we're seeing new ones show up in wooden form.

I hope they make a comeback so my daughter can grow up with them.
