View Full Version : What do we all do for jobs II (I ballsed-up the first effort......).
Well, why not?
Just to see how many I.T. personnel there are on this Board.
I'll guess at 25%.......
PS Bear in mind there are only a max of 10 options on a Poll so I have given myself a w-i-d-e margin to play with.
I cocked-up the first Poll by, er, not including the Poll option (what a donkey...) :o :o :o

Sweet!
Sounds like a wicked Job.
Out of interest, how similar are the JBL and Infinity speakers. They seem very similar in design - is it just the label which is different?

They are basically the same in that thier chassis and basic components cross over but the important bits like the speaker cones, voice coils, magnet systems differ.
