All I could think reading that thread was, must be nice to have some money...
I was very fortunate in that the speakers were a Christmas gift from my sis (which she got at about a 70% discount off retail), and the headphones Harmon tossed in were unexpected and no charge to anybody. I'm definitely not Mr. Moneybags :) On a side note, I got to see her company intranet page where employees log in to get their discounts on products. It is INSANE how much of a markdown they get. I was imagining something like 30-40%. It's actually closer to 60-70% across the board. They must be making some serious margin in the audio electronics market, unless they are giving them to their employees at a loss, which I wouldn't imagine they'd do.
Well the point was how incredible music sounds through a pair of over-the-ear headphones as opposed to speakers or earbuds. If you love listening to music, it really improves the sound immensely...by almost a shocking amount. Some people might be into that.
