The basic plot is that the owners in 1994, when in another labor struggle with the NHLPA player union, gave in to union demands resulting in a reported loss of $250,000,000 over 10 years. The NHLPA claims the numbers which were compiled with league approval by Arthur Levitt, the former head of the SEC under President Clinton, are bogus. What isn�t debatable is the fact that in the past five years goal scoring is down in the NHL by over 20 percent. What also isn�t debatable is the fact that with the drop in goal scoring has come a drop in television ratings that puts the once mighty NHL in the same league as Arena Football and is close to losing ratings battles with the cheap-to-produce �sport� of poker.

The answer: it creates a stunning, holographic sonic image. (Read the review in the October issue of Audio Video Revolution: http://www.avrev.com/equip/sunfiretheatergrandiv/index.html). Naturally, it must have the latest video switching - and it does. Naturally, it must have a stellar on-screen menu - and it does. But the Theater Grand IV's primary reason for being is to translate sound tracks into stunning works of art. It may be true that the higher the quality of the audio presentation, the deeper the intensity of the emotional experience. At Sunfire, Bob Carver has been getting more out of an audio signal path than almost anyone else for years. The classy Sunfire TGIV is proof of his dedication.

The term rock opera has been thrown around with much glee and abandon concerning this release, and while American Idiot is clearly one major story, it is less operatic than say, Quadrophenia. It is also a bit more accessible in terms of overall production, for even though there are a few nine-minute songs and a lot of the other ones meld into each other, as frontman Billie Joe Armstrong says, �You can listen to this record like you would one of our short-attention-span records.� Click below to read the full review... http://www.avrev.com/music/revs/gd_americanidiot.shtml Please Support AVR's Sponsors http://www.avrev.com/splashpage/xhifi.html http://www.avrev.com/splashpage/rgpc.html http://www.avrev.com/splashpage/dtscrystal.html http://www.avrev.com/splashpage/energy.html http://www.sonos.com/landing/tech.htm?ovmkt=J8NG88H93Q11CCUJ8PB56EMEKG If you have AOL 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 or an email client that supports html emails and you'd like to switch to our full color email updates in the future, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject "html email" in the subject header.
