Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.

Re: How much money did you spend on audio?

I've got way more money in gear to run the stuff than I do in actual speakers. This addiction gets expensive quick.

Re: How much money did you spend on audio?

jeez, either you spent way too much on stuff (even with the conversion rate) or shipping really killed you. cd7000 usually sells for around $500 USD.
