all the panny platinums --
bi-amps or not = fantastic sounds
and they are usually $$ cheap for how great they are -
even on ebay

hello womble71 welcome to the forum. what makes an addiction addictive is precisely its "damn-it's-too-late!" status. good luck with your collection but i suggest you try to slow down: with the rhythm of a new box every other day even uncle scrooge would go bankrupt in less than no time

Love the enthusiasm and Very Impressed at the speed your collection has grown! welcome womble71

7 weeks equals 49 days !
49Days/24Boxes equals 2.04
thats is over 2 boxes a day
Welcome to madness

Thanks for all the nice reply's and i am slowing down a bit-but if i see a bargain, oh my! I've been very fortunate to grab quite a few for $5-gotta love the salvation army thrift store. My problem is that i always loved the wide variety of designs with boomboxes and i am an artist so i see them as pieces of art so i have to control my spending urges at times
