Yeah I think that’s definitely part of it!

I can’t believe we are already at just slightly over 2 weeks to go until the first preseason game (Sept. 21st) and just under a month to go until the first regular season game (Oct. 1st)!! This summer flew by. I’ve noticed that the older I get, the faster time seems to pass. Maybe it’s just me. lol

Have you thought about upgrading the factory speakers? It’s usually not too difficult and you can get new front + rear speakers for a reasonable price.

Love to see that!!

That’s awesome! I have dabbled in DIY but I have only built pre-made kits that come with flat packs. So more of “assemble it yourself” than DIY. Did you design the cabinets and crossovers (does it even use a crossover?)? Or follow a design?

That really sucks. I respect the local reporters for sitting on the story. I wish it could’ve continued to stay private like Ed and his family wanted. But I guess some a-hole on Twitter thought it was worth the clicks. Maybe they didn’t know the family wanted it kept private? If they did and reported it anyway, what a scummy move.

You mentioned on the first page that you have a marantz receiver and KEF speakers. Can you give me a bit more detail? How many KEF speakers? 2? 5? If you have more than 2, what model is your center channel speaker? (center channel speakers are responsible for the vast majority of spoken dialogue and some are a lot better than others at it) Have you ever run the room correction on the marantz amp? (it should’ve come with a little microphone you plug in and move around to different positions while it plays test tones through each speaker) If you’ve never run the room correction, that is an absolute must. It can make a world of difference and it’s easy to do. I can walk you through it no problem. Also, do you have a picture of how you have the speakers set up/positioned? Or if you don’t want to post a pic, can you describe it? I’m just wondering if you have your center channel stuck in a tv cabinet or hanging on the wall or anything like that. Speaker positioning can play a big role in audio clarity. Room treatments can be another big thing to help. You want them at the first reflection points of each speaker. (you can find the reflection points using a mirror) I can go into more detail on any of the above and provide more instructions or how-to videos (etc) or walk you through it myself. We can even do it over the phone if you wanted to. If I lived closer I’d offer to just come over and do it for you! lol

Haven’t been there in years! I used to love going there! A friend used to work at speaker shop so we’d come in to hear demos in those crazy expensive speaker rooms upstairs. lol I miss when there were more places like Stereo Advantage and Circuit City to shop speakers and electronics in person. Stereo Advantage was probably my favorite store back in the 90’s.

Chicago was worse than Buffalo the season Hagel broke out (2021). Their roster was crap. and say what you will about the Sabres during their playoff drought, they did ok developing players. I’d argue they developed more players than Chicago did since the time that Hagel joined the Blackhawks.

Chicago was a dumpster fire during Hagel’s time there. They had that huge sexual abuse scandal happen the year before Hagel signed. Quenneville and Bowman both were fired. They’ve more/less been a dysfunctional mess ever since. They definitely haven’t been known for developing players well over the last 6+ years, or having a strong NHL team around their young players. Tampa Bay is a first class organization. But Hagel was already well on his way to being the player he is now before he ever joined Tampa Bay. (that’s why Tampa gave up Raddysh, Katchouk and two 1sts for him). Isn’t it the GM’s job to have an inkling a player is going to be good? Especially as good as Hagel is… I agree that a lot of late drafted players aren’t given contract offers, but what other players were not given an entry level contract offer by the team that drafted them and went on to have the (pretty immediate) success Hagel has? I can’t think of any off the top of my head. I tried to use AI to answer the question for me but didn’t have much luck. 😂 it kept saying Marchessault but he was an expansion draft pick. It also mentioned carter verhaeghe and that one is valid but it took him 7+ years post draft to even establish himself as an NHLer. bottom line is that it was a big unforced error. Botterill was a terrible GM in Buffalo and has not been any better in Seattle.

Was this really something that needed an article written about it? 🤷‍♂️

A bit off topic but I didn’t know where else to post this… Check out the concession stand prices at the Atlanta falcons stadium! https://www.mercedesbenzstadium.com/menus/atl-fan-fare $2 hot dogs $3 nachos $5 draft beers I read Arthur Blank made it a priority to offer cheap food and drinks inside the stadium. I sure wish more owners would do this!

Botterill was a terrible GM.
