    Mega self indulgence masquerading as “meditative” filmmaking.
    
    He also lit argued to a reviewer--who hilariously disagreed--that Drive was a “great” (as in Citizen Cane) movie.

    I saw Aerosmith in 1997 on the Nine Lives tour. It was one of my first rock shows. Great memories.

    Do you have a link to this or is it your insider info? I haven't used my B2 in a while. I wish it had better treble and bass impact + extension.

    It’s on various Discords. Looks like it possibly came from a Chinese forum or social media site but not sure.

    I am curious about them as well, would love to read Your thoughts about them. RSV are great, but they are too „Harmanish” for me, i prefer less pinna gain and flatter bass.

    Is it related to the ancient TV series (1964: I just checked)? Didn't amuse me much, even at the age of 12.

    isnt bloom a sponsor here? 110 is cheap in this hobby but perhaps an easy way to get hand on it to try?

  Just can’t get motivated to review the Softears Twilight. It’s certainly not bad; just merely good but at a steep $930.
