Review title: ample sub Product review: Having owned speakers with 15" woofers for many decades I never could justify adding a subwoofer. However, my new receiver doesn't provide the low notes to the front main speakers as previously owned receivers. I could tell the bass was insufficient so I purchased this 12" Polk Audio sub with beautiful cherry veneer. The difference has shown a new dimension to music and movies that has been missing. This sub is easy to hook up and has serious thump. While I could shake the house before now the house absolutely throbs. Controls on the back can contour the sound to keep it from being overpowering. I'm now considering replacing my front main and center speakers with Polk.
Ans: increase

Review title: Thith-ter Thuthy Thitting On A Thithle? Product review: Bernard has a major speech impediment. He lisps HORRIBLY thru the entire cd. It can't go unnoticed; maybe a marketing ploy in the "gee, this might be cute" category? Let's try it all in baby talk next time. This is among the five WORST cd's Ive ever listened to. "I'm the math-ter of dith-ath-ter with my pantieth and my thnake-thkin boo-oo-woot-th's" almost made me physically ill. What's more unbelievable is that someone out there likes this and openly recommends it. ... Had to give it one star to make this entry - although to be legit, it needs BIG negative numbers...

Review title: There is no conspiracy! Product review: Horowitz demolishes a man of straw, but he is wrong in thinking that there is some sinister conspiracy. Reactionaries like Horowitz or Glen Beck can't deal with the fact that other people have different perspectives than them. The tag line says it all - the people who didn't want the US to invade Iraq didn't want the US to "fail in the Middle East", they just didn't think that the invasion was a wise foreign policy. There is no Unholy Alliance, the (essentially American!) liberal values that Horowitz misrepresents here are not compatible with Osama Bin Laden and his ilk, those who imagine a different foreign policy for the US are not traitors, and talking to people about what upsets them (also known as "diplomacy" or "foreign policy") does not make you a co-conspirator with them.

Review title: MINDBLOWING Product review: I bought this LP when it was first released (1967). Then, it was simply named: "The Youngbloods", (I'm referring to the first 11 tracks) It got lost and I tried for 20 years to find it. RCA said it was out of print. It was renamed and re-released "Get Together" for obvious reasons. Every Note on this LP is a true Gem. This is my ALL TIME most favorite LP. You will not be disappointed. A true footstompin', finger tappin' GEM.
