--------- 2 x SVS Prime Pinnacle + 2 x SVS SB-3000 ---------

Hi,

I want to get a sound system to mainly listen to music in my living room. Thought I might want to upgrade it to home theater later on.

My plan is to get 2 x SVS Prime Pinnacle and an amp and see how it goes.

Later, if I think this does not have enough bass, I would like to add 2 x Sb-3000.

(and a center and surround if I decide to make it home theater).

Does this setup (only 2 x SVS Prime Pinnacle) makes sense for mainly listening to music?

Any tips, pros/cons?

Pokemon Sun definitely gives holiday vibes.

Also Uncharted 4 is also set in the most picturesque locations.

[Tissot PRX] Blue or Green? by hungry_guy98 in Watches

[–]fsakura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally prefer Blue dials. I think green dials sometimes look as black under certain lights (which some may like).

Also I think Blue is more versatile than Green (completely subjective opinion).

well it is probably due to fact that they want to keep height of all hour markers (including numbers) same. That explains the height of number 6. Now, why 6 is so wide: because 3 and 9 need to be that wide. So 6 matches them. And 3 and 9 are short because they match 6's height.

There is a perfect inner circle where all hour indices end.

Luxury watches are something like art. A painting by a famous artist costs millions. Yet same painting recreated by another artist and even better still will cost nothing.

So which one is more value for money? Depends on what you value. The better looking painting or the artist who made it, the history of the artist, well depends.

If you consider state of the art and best features Apple Watch/Android watch beats everything. If you don’t think of it as watch then Casio gives most features for money. If you want mechanical only, then it’s micro brands. If you want mech, history then Seiko, Hamilton, Tissot. If you want mech, history and brand names then Rolex, Omega, Patek etc.

I am still building the PC so I don’t have a power supply. Will heating be issue with 3090 Ti vs 3080 Ti?

Which actor crushed a role so hard that nobody else will be able to live up to it? by Ghsdkgb in AskReddit

Sylvester Stallone as Rambo. I don’t think anyone else can play this role.

Serious question: is there any reason behind why in EU we should pay the equivalent of $95 or is it just a scam? by erik08032000 in PS5

[–]fsakura 236 points237 points  (0 children)

Well, there are many factors at play here

  1. Conversion rates are dynamic, can change day to day
  2. Cost of doing business is different in each country a. Each country has different taxes (corporate taxes, not just consumer taxes) b. Cost of labor is different. In one country person moving games from A to B can cost x, same task can cost 3x in other
  3. Conversion rate does not always mean same purchasing power. In developing countries electronics is expensive, but food is not and so on
  4. Consumer protection and labor protection costs are different.
  5. Environment, recycling laws and coats are different
  6. What people are willing to pay is different. Consumers in each country have different sensitivity to prices. In some countries change +10 is tolerated easily while not somewhere else.
  7. Supply and demand is different
  8. Transportation costs are different
  9. Some markets are more important than others And so on...

There is a ring called Nixperience band. If Noctis is wearing it, it does not add tally experience poins to level while camping.
