 receiver. I do not listen to music at rock concert hall levels, but often play fairly loud and have yet to hear my receiver driven to distortion.
Just to give you some idea about the accuracy of these speakers from our perspective. My wife is an avid music fan, but never had much use for audio equipment. It just "reproduced music" from her perspective. When she heard these speakers she actually cried. She said, "They are beautiful. They make music."
I couldn't say it any better. Just be sure of a reasonable front end. From my perspective, it can only get better from here. While I haven't lived with any other speakers, I demo'ed Paradigm, Joseph, Monitor Audio, NHTs. Nothing else made my wife cry.
I heard a pair of logan SL3's about 2 years ago at Audio concepts in Grande prairie Alberta. Now it's 2 years later and I have a pair bringing up the rearAccented by the quests up front along with the Logos centre.
I CAN HONESTLY TELL YOU THEY ARE THE BEST SPEAKERS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although if you dont have first rate componants and connections you might as well forget about them!!I've had a very nice, uneventful 2 and 1/2 days. In my 37 days of being nicotine free, that's not terribly unusual. But I have learned it is also not something I can take for granted. So I'm feeling very grateful right now.
I've taken 2 "Quit Smoking" classes from 2 different hospitals in the last 3 years. Both were 6 weeks (Six 90 minute classes). Both were taught by Registered Nurses who had been teaching their classes for several years. Both nurses had never smoked in their lives.
Both classes had all kinds of "expert" reading and video materials for us.
Both classes had 6 people in them and both classes had a 100% fail rate within 2 weeks after the last class.
I can honestly say I've learned more in 3 days on this site than in 12 weeks of supposed "expert" advice. Very grateful for that as well.
I joined this site looking for advice from people who had successfully quit for a year or more. I got that, but have also learned just as much from those who have only recently begun their journey. Grateful for that too.
I guess I should have called this "Grateful Musings", not "Random Musings"
Kudos to your 37 days of freedom from the poison! This site really is amazing! All the places I went to or talked to about quitting, always just explained that it was hard but others did it etc..... Even the 1 800 quit place was useless in my eyes. Then I come here and bang, it clicks, and I now understand so much more about this addiction. I now understand what to expect and how to deal with it. I'm not just told to quit smoking and Good luck. We are taught how and why's here. Thank goodness for this site and the wonderful people on here!
Thanks for sharing your experienceTomW5.15.17! It's great to see what you've learned in your journey.
TomW5.15.17 Congratulations and thanks for sharing what you have learned and what you have found to be of value! I agree that I learn from people who have been here for a long time but I also learn from those just starting.
High five 37 days. High five you are feeling some good amidst the work to quit and stay quit. Sweetins' the journey for sure. Keep working it! Thanks for posting.
Awesome job tw5152017! I wanna be you in 47 days. I agree with the sentiment that this site is just about the best place for advice, support and the information needed to be successful quitting smoking. I have all the admiration in the world for those who give their time and knowledge to help people quit, but if you haven't been there and done that, it's really hard to truly relate to what a nicotine addict is going through. Here you get the best of both worlds; medical experts and real-life experience. I think that is what drew me to this site to begin with.
Thanks for saying what I have been feeling; gratitude for EX.
I don't think most of the experts were smokers.
Consequently, I don't think many of them know how to get out of the information they repeat.Many people who own homes are becoming interested in ductless splits. Just like the name suggests, ductless systems do not need a system of ducts to distribute air that has been conditioned. Nonetheless, they still offer reliable cooling and heating performance. Could a ductless split system be the proper option for you? Have a look at ductless split system benefits before you arrive at a decision.
A ductless mini-split system is a cooling and heating system that provides cold or hot air without necessitating ductwork installation. With a ductless cooling and heating system, you have individualized control of the temperature in various spaces and rooms.
There are two main components to a ductless mini-split system: the indoor air handler and the outdoor condenser. The two components are linked via tubing, cables, and a draining line. The unit that indoors delivers air that is conditioned into the spaces indoors.
Mini-split systems can have numerous indoor air handlers. You can independently control the temperature of each one. The outdoor heat pump will either distribute heat or absorb it, depending on your preferred use or the season.
You can set up a ductless system for multiple zones or a single zone. A single-zone system will provide conditioned air to a single room or space. It is frequently used for areas of the home that are underserved including the sunroom, basement, or an addition that is newly-built. On the other hand, a multi-zone system will distribute the conditioned air to multiple spaces or rooms. The only thing that is different is that you can independently set the temperature in every room.
One of the best benefits of a ductless split system is that since you can independently cool and heat space in a house, you can personalize your comfort. Ductless split systems are also very stable and efficient. They can continue to be reliable for numerous years with good maintenance.
In terms of energy efficiency, ductless mini-split systems consistently rate high. In general, ductless split systems receive the Energy Star rating because of their performance. You save more in energy consumption because you can program the system to only cool or heat specific rooms or zones. If you want to further reduce your energy costs, you can also turn off the indoor air handlers in the spaces that are unoccupied and only turn them on when they are in use.
Besides simply conditioning air, mini-split systems also help improve your indoor air quality. With filters that use advanced technology, ductless HVAC systems can capture and stop particulates that are harmful from being released into the rooms.
Ductwork is infamous for gathering pollutants. Because a ductless HVAC system does not make use of ductwork, there is no element that will collect dangerous particulates.
Unlike window AC systems, ductless cooling and heating systems do house bacteria, mold, dust, and other microbes. The air filters that come with the units are highly efficient and easy to replace and clean.
Zoning is one of the most exceptional features of a ductless mini-split system. Zoning lets you appoint various spaces or rooms into different zones. You can customize the temperature in each zone to suit individual heating and cooling requirements. With individualized comfort, you can also enjoy an inviting cooled down environment. In addition, ductless zoning units are designed to run quietly. Because of this, you can enjoy an environment that is virtually free of noises and distractions.
Because ductless HVAC systems do not require ductwork, ductless installation is comparatively easier. In general, you can expect it to take a day for the installation process to be completed. If the installation is taking place while you are at home, you can be sure that any undertakings you might have going on will be mostly uninterrupted. Moreover, since there is no ductwork, you will not face issues in terms of building walls to fit the ductwork or special permits. All the technician has to do to link the outdoor and indoor units is drill a small hole about three inches into the wall.
Some specialists surmise that you could reduce your heating and cooling costs by about 30 percent if you switch from a conventional AC unit to a ductless HVAC system. Ductless split systems are extremely efficient, so they use up less energy without cutting back on performance.
By using a ductless HVAC system that is highly efficient, you will not only reduce your cooling and heating costs, but you will also use up less energy, which means you can reduce your carbon footprint. Because of this, ductless HVAC systems put less strain on the environment as well as your pockets.
Ductless HVAC systems offer an extensive range of uses for both commercial and residential applications. They are outstanding choices for new additions, attics, small rooms, basements, and offices. They also provide solutions for issues with cooling and heating in rooms that are problematic, such as rooms that have lower or higher temperatures than the other spaces in the building.
Because ductless HVAC systems are so energy-efficient, many homeowners who have a central AC system use their ductless split system to lower their cooling and heating costs. If you have an older, historic home that does not have HVAC ductwork in place, then a ductless system is the way to go.
A ductless mini-split system provides a number of benefits that you will not get from a conventional AC system. Ductless systems offer balanced cooling and heating, easy installation
