anandpkumar Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Not the prettiest of speakers, but can imagine being impressed by something like this when I was a teenager! Definitely, we on this forum are not the target audience......but then we are a minority in the music listening industry. There may still be appeal to non-audiophiles Edited May 17, 2019 by anandpkumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 After @Marc mentioned that they weren’t to bad for what they are, I’m really keen to buy one of these totem poles for the Stinger Shed, it’ll be a hoot I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all the years I’ve been on this forum, this has to be the most random, nonsensical question I’ve ever been asked. But it I will answer this question, because nonsensical questions need a response to highlight their nonsensicality. Yesterday, on the year day 17th May, 2019, my beloved and cherished Kia Stinger was due for its first free service and I had decided to get its oil changed also. 17th of May here in the Nations capital was rather a lovely day, so instead of getting an Uber home and back again later at a cost I couldn’t justify, I decided to spend the 4+ hours while my car was in service, looking around at all facilities and Services Phillip (suburb) has to offer. So 8.45am, car dropped off, told the service manager a list of issues that might need looking at, and of course, all issues were random software glitches that can’t be checked Willy nilly, but will have to wait till Kia do a software update. Being it was this time of the day, breakfast was beckoning, so I headed in the direction of Woden plaza, and then to most people’s favorite breakfast destination, McDonalds. Deluxe Breakfast burger and small latte consumed, I headed into the direction of my all time favorite retail store JB Hi-Fi, and why is it my favorite, because most of the things I buy in life that I enjoy are stocked in one convenient location, for example: CD’s Blu-Rays 4k Blu-rays Drones Security cameras Apple Products random computer accessories TV’s, of which on average I buy 3 a year Dyson stick vacs (currently tempted by the new V11) the list goes on, so let me know in a PM if you would like me to continue Now pay careful attention, this is where your specific question will get answered. So, I was looking in the CD section to see what albums they had of Opeth, being as this is a band that I’ve finally discovered (I know……………) and to my disappointment for all of 7 seconds, they only had 2 cd’s, ones I wasn’t interested in buying being as I hadn’t heard them yet. After that 7 seconds of disappointment, I decided then to walk over to see the TV department to ask the stupidity tall sales guy there if he had an idea as to when sony’s 2019 OLED s will be making an appearance (He didn’t know) but in order to get from that part of the shop from where I was standing, I had to walk down the section where JB accommodate the ever revered Muteki. And it’s rather safe to say, that this particular unit stands out like a Donkeys Do-dar and I thought it’ll be a hoot to share my discovery, because a rather distinguished gentleman of taste as you appear to be, might not have had the sheer delight to come across this Everest-tic piece of Bogan technology (your welcome) It was at this point, I went out of the store, pass the Brightly colored Do-nut king, fancied a caramel glazed do-nut, purchased, enjoyed, and then decided to have a look at the other car dealerships in the vicinity of The one my car was in, which included the Mini Cooper dealership and a Maserati one, of which I spent about 30mins inside talking to the bored sales guy in there (not a high traffic dealership one could say) about a 277k vehicle on display and other car related topics, while chewing on a few free minties he had on his desk, and yes, a Maserati is not in my target market either, so should I write an entire post about that also? Walked back to Kia’s service department to do a sit in whilst consuming the free Nespresso machine and Arnotts sample packet biscuits while having an nostalgic conversation with the Ford service manager for an hour, a guy that used to be a dj back in the day when I was a sound guy in Canberra. Kia’s manager walked up, told me the car was ready, at this stage it was 1.30 pm, all was good with the car, paid the $250 for the oil change (I know…………………………, don’t go there) and happily drove home. Now, this post wasn’t designed to be offensive, but clearly giving you the nonsensical response to a likewise, nonsensical question. Have a good day.

It's okay Sime, I'm guilty of the same thing ending up in the JB "Hifi" aisle.... Read about the whole sound-bar thing so thought I'd go and see what all the fuss was about by listening to a Bose sound-bar..... never again.....

ThirdDrawerDown Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Quote the most random, nonsensical question I’ve ever been asked To be fair, Sime, you have been known to answer questions that are far more random and nonsensical but that have been asked of other people. Sometimes, indeed, ninja'ing my best efforts to answer them, and with a humour and accuracy that also ninja's me :( It's like the classifieds. You've got to be quick around here.
