Phillipines, you racist misspeller (see below).

If you want to be a retard whose trendoid "anti-racist" leanings
make him/her afraid of admitting that country 98% of whose
industry still has not mastered the subtle art of injection
molding may NOT be the best choice for manufacturing anything
beyond pencils, and realizing that this fact has NOTHING to do
with race, that's your choice as well.
Incredible.
NB: Cadbury recently opened a plant(s?) in China. I suggest next
time you feel like some good chocolate, you buy the Chinese-made
bar. Your contribution to the anti-racist movement, overall
political awareness, the health of Western World economies and
workforce, and the well-being of all good persons on this planet
will be greatly appreciated! Bon appétit!

Once serious manufacturers realized the truth of the injection
molding statement above, they started exercising better control.
I just bought a Lumix digi camera and it is perfect, AND 100%
made in China. But the /battery/ is 100% made in Japan. I wonder
why?

No, all China.

Aside from the rather interestng aspect ratio, may I state that
CRT projectors had far worse image quality than LCDs. But size
is all that matters to MANY clueless people.

Thank you, your majesty. I hope I was not being racist in
claiming HD and LCD was irrelevant shit.

I know, it's a pointless argument. CRT's WILL be back, just like
turntables.

I never said BA stuff fell apart after 5 years, just that for
$450 you could have probably done better. OTOH, I never priced
stuff in that range. Once I heard the ProAcs, there was no other
speaker for me.

No, many people whose intelligence and knowledge are irrelevant
(not unlike people who like huge screens with no true black, and
mind-numbing content overshadowed by the all-important
resolution) like their room to shake, for whatever reasons. Last
time I was at the symphony, my seats did NOT shake.

Funny how seemingly interesting and knowledgeable people turn
into idiots with fascist aspirations. And you do not "implement"
a stupid subwoofer, you connect it. And then, if you care about
content and not about your furniture rattling from joy, you
*DIS*connect it.
Whoever at Bose came up with the subwoofer/tiny satellites
concept should be fried alive. That design was originally aimed
for RESTAURANTS, BTW. Restaurants are WELL known for stressing
musical content and quality over appearance and cost.
