Just about every picture of Toronto shows a view that looks toward the CN Tower. Here is the opposite view:

This image shows somebody looking out from the top of the CN Tower. One of the nice things about Toronto is that it is a very green city (literally and figuratively). There is a good park system and the city likes to put a tree on every front yard.

My house is straight ahead (perhaps a bit to the left) in that mess of green.

Here you go, views from the CN Tower and amazing views they were. I'd love to go back :D

CN Tower is awesome. Only wish I could get a picture without the glass or any of that metal mesh stuff. Yeah, would be a safety hazard, but for that one shot...

Sure, we'll go to the Outdoor Observation deck and I'll hold onto your ankles. :D

Vegas was the best I have seen just because it is so different from anything I had ever seen before but I liked the San Fran one as well. Belfast is really coming on too. Its growing very quickly and Im quite proud of it which is not something I would have thought I would be saying 10years ago. Not got any really up to date photos of it but you will all have to come and vist to see for yourself.

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).

      > The G 7 Pro supports wireless (XBOX Wireless, proprietary dongle, or Bluetooth) If anybody else's brain translates this to 'it works wirelessly on Xbox', according to the linked product page, it does not.
