If I want a high-end stereo, for example, I'd be able to find those components at amazon while WalMart only offers the lower end of the spectrum and often "specially made for WalMart" items that are even of poorer quality (and cheaper to make) than the normal low-end stuff from that manufacturer. Nyssa, who knows that she wouldn't find Bose or Louis Vuiton items at WalMart Amazon is actually selling high end stereos ?

Bose radios use cardboard tubes that snake around inside to create that ''high end''sound. You can look at them online. My radios (albeit not ''high end'') don't use no steenkin cardboard tubes. www.pricewheeler.com has, or used to have some links to Hign End stereo stuff. There are probaly a bunch of online sites about High End equipment. Did you know the drive shafts on cars and trucks have cardboard in them? |

Over rated and over priced, but it is the best thing they ever made. SO many better choices for less $$$$. -- BDK: Head Government Shill, and future Psychotronic World Dominator.
