Eventually when we get the basement turned into a media room
(which happens after Storm visits doggie heaven), I need to find
some good speakers. My Bose 301's from 25 years ago just ain't
gonna cut it. The room we are looking at is about 12 X 20.
Small, so ran across this review about the Orbs. My wife is all
contemporary and if they sound good, these could be the answer.

are you working on saving up?
I know Chip has a fund for a few things...I've got one going
(now for the new guitar) plus some other small amount of cash
towards a TV I want to get for my office.
well I hope you get it!

Yea, I've got two funds. But trying to maintain has it's
obstacles. The wife loves to spend. After this upcoming
vacation. Putting the brakes on spending and getting the savings
back in line.

I know the feeling....the TV was a hold over from Christmas...I
was given money and told SPEND this on yourself.
a lot of times my little birthday and Christmas cash...goes into
stuff like groceries and basically no sort of gift.
I promised I'd buy myself something...and a flat screen tv would
really help the space issues in my home studio.
was checking out Les Paul's last night on the Gibson
site.....was fun and depressing at the same time
:)

I hear that. I do that more often than not.

So for complete mindless fun and zero value but to please my
visual senses, I ordered the HypnoCube

If these guys

get their act
together, I may actually might buy the kit and make one myself
HTML http://zomgtronics.com/.
If your mildly interested, sign up. The
more that sign up they actually might make the kit available.

Aw man, that looks f u c k i n g cool!! It reminds me of those
Stereo Speakers that would pulsate to the music you were
playing, which I wouldn't mind picking up a new set for the year
2012. Not even sure what they were called back then. Bascially
take the dance floor from Saturday Night Fever and add it to the
front of the Speakers. Anyway, good job Mac.

OK, maybe you guys can help me out here. Actually a few years
ago when Ultimate Electronics existed, they had this displayed
out front. The wireless patio speaker. It immediately caught my
attention. It sounded good.
So now Im at a place to want to get it. We sit outside a lot
and would love to have something more than a tinny small radio.
I see there are really two competing brands out there

Ive read many reviews on both of them and they seem to be
comparable in many ways. I think a con for the Cables to Go is
the power switch. And a plus for Rocketfish, someone at least
said, the sound and bass were good for the size it is. A con
seems to be Rocketfish is almost twice as expensive and can only
be found at Best Buy.
Any thoughts on these two or others you may know?
