Do you feel it had enough power to properly power the HD-600's?

I bought a pair of those for my brother a few years back. He travels a ton and loves them to this day. A few months ago I bought a second pair to give my girlfriend, she also has noting but praise for them. The Bose do indeed work but I find these to be equally as good and a fraction of the price. They also work great without music to just kill the engine drone on the plane...

going to need some pretty efficient speakers or a really near-field set-up to work with 4 watts of solid state power... looks promising though.

"their "signature."

Not sure how long they have been making these but I have been seeing them in Tack shops since I was a kid (and for about $35 with a nice leather belt...)

It is a great design and quite functional!

The color of all of these bulbs is pretty bad so far! Once we have good color light available I would be in.

RE: "See this side table/stool thing? I bought it at some random secondhand store in Burlington, Vermont. I think it was like $20 and it reminded me of these so I quickly bought it. As soon as I got it home, I flipped it over and — lo and behold — there was the dreaded Walmart sticker. Ah well. Live and learn. It's still in my living room, and will do for now, but I shouldn't have even paid twenty bucks for it, and certainly would never bring it to some guy to refinish. "

I am not a fan of Wal-Mart but this sounds a little stuffy to me. If you liked it who cares where it came from? Isn't design about design? You make it sounds like the designer's name dictates if it is art or not...

I like it but what about when the power is out? That to me would be a prime time to rob people. I know out ADT system has batteries and calls out on land lines. How can this work if all power is out?

RE: These Nespresso machines should be subsidized.

WHY? Just wondering... All the Nespresso machines I have seen are pretty good quality. I have had mine for about 7 years with no problems. I am fine with the $250 I paid (at the time...) You have to pay for quality or you can go by a POS Kureg or SBUX machine for a subsidized price. Have you felt the build quality on those?
