      A Curmudgeon is a grumpy complaining person.

      A Carmudgeon is the same thing but drives a car and is prone to road rage :B

          I spent sooo many sleepless nights playing this with my roomate in college...some of our best times laughing and drinking while playing this game! He stopped over (hadn't seen him in almost 10 years) and that was one of the first things we went back to was playing this and command & conquer. lol

                    I'm an old 48.........I like good audio but I'm not a curmudgeon or an audio snob either. I'm an audio realist to be honest !!

                      Close... 34... I'll be 35 in September.

                      Sad part is that it took me some time to think about that as I never really think about my age. ha ha.

                        Haha... Now that you mention it, I am actually 32 and will be 33 this year... That's actually a relief at the moment. Whooops...

                        But the real question is....... Did you play the original Grand Theft Auto?

                              Yes... Yes I did....

                              My favorites were the Wing Commander and X-Wing series of games too.

                                              I´m glad you liked! Yes there are many things to treat bass. I can say the bass is very controlled then I wont have problem.

                                              Regarding the gears and furniture soon I will share pics. For now I can say dCs Paganini, Puccini UClock, Weiss MAN301, EVO 600e amps are on the way :T

                                                    Jeez pedro! Fantastic!
                                                    That's exactely how it should be! Can you post some measurements and frequency diagramms once you finished the whole instalation? Could you honestly anwer on how you did the layout (on your own or using a "professional")?
                                                    Good luck for the finishing process of the project...

                                                      Dear Frank,
                                                      Thanks for the kudos. Actually I've had the support of a great engineer, he serves many studios in my country and is very known here. Yep, liked very much his project and soon will post measurement tests
