^  We still are, and the situation hasn't changed much since the first post. But this debate is quite entertaining.

BTW: oliver, I have to say that these components look quite cool. I'll see if I can find some case-modded PCs to post ... PCs don't have to look ugly, like the ones you keep posting. There are some nice wooden PC case mods ...

Yes, this discussion has became quite pleasant, as we agree on most points and each of us adds his own knowledge.

I didn't know there are wood case computers, at least the Mc Intosh computers are less ugly than the PC.

You want some top notch and nice looking gear?

Here are Tenor Audio products, acanadian brand.
Their amps are a little better than the Conrad Johson, so it's incredible stuff, and even more expensive.

They make good stuff. I have a logitech 5.1 in the lounge room for DVD playback (really wanted the klipsch 5.1 but it wasn't available for australian power rating). The logitech is excellent value for the price. This should start oliver's eyes rolling now that he knows we think a pc accessories manufacturer makes good speaker systems. 

Kilpsch on the other hand produce speakers, maybe even the finest out of america. Their gmx system is truly amazing.

[edit] I can picture oliver now, shaking his head and leaving the room in disgust

^ oliver, that's not fair. The Logitech speakers are priced at about $100 in total, and I'm sure that these magnat speakers cost about $1000 ...
