Reply to 7Hz Zero update: I'm lovin' it by External_Gazelle_645

I just picked these up today. They seems fast and accurate with good detail.

To my ears, the mids are all too pronounced. The bright treble is bright, but survivable - but with the mids pushed as they are, the combination is, as you put it "a bit shouty"

i like them, but they are a bit clinical - the bass pacey and accurate, but under represented in the overall sound - they dont quite hit hard enough down stairs.

would be interested in your other budget ideas. I'm a BLON guy - but looking for slightly better build and fit.

Reply to Srs Question - how to bet against commercial real estate by UserNameTycoon

I like this as an idea.

The problem is, the entire 'system' will move heaven & earth to avoid it - as least here in the UK where so much personal prosperity is dependent on realty only going up.

the biggest threat is working from home, and the UK government have already spoken a couple of times about getting back to the office, post Covid (in the name of protecting small retail, which is BS)

i'm sure you are already onto this, but basically :

  • if people work from home, the requirement for city centre footprint for business is reduced.
  • corps will have absolutely no hesitation in reducing their office space, getting the cost off their balance sheet
  • this will result is a large oversupply of space, driving commercial prices down.
  • because people no longer need to live a commutable distance from the city, there is a huge knock on effect for domestic real estate. who needs to pay a premium to live near the office ? so...
  • house prices crash, landlords (with risings interest rates) are double fucked, and since buy-to-let is a major source of private pensions, they would be destitute in old age

practically speaking , working from home could bring the economy down. not to its knees, but face down in the dirt, and I fully expect conversation between government and major corps to have taken place already on this subject.

so, finding solid way to short commercial real estate sound like a jolly decent idea to me.
