At the time I wanted an SWR Baby Blue II (I think the two was out at that point).

In the end I lived with the Trace Elliott for a little over a year and then bought a Gallien Krueger 700RB head and a 210RBH cab.

About a year after I bought the GK I lent the TE to a friend of mine and that's when it blew up.

Marvel fixed it and all was well.

A year later I again lent it to the same friend and it blew up again :(

We tried fixing it again but this time it was still acting weird after replacing the output transistors.

I haven't bothered messing with it since then as I've got the GK and it is way more amp.

 If I fix it again, I'll get it out of the hallway...

 I wouldn't mind having it fixed.

We might want to try some of those heavier duty output transistors.

It might be cool to see if Dennis could suggest some mods to tighten up the sound a little.

I've also thought about ditching the stock cab and making it a head and cab.

I prefer head/cab arrangements for transport and variety, and backup. 

Of course, the question may be: what are they plugging it into that causes it to keep blowing up.   Maybe a lesson in paralell vs series is in order. :-)  (or maybe the cab is the better place to investigate?). 

Or maybe TE's just blow up.  :-)   Getting out of my range of technical expertise.

EARGASM! I think it's great, but it pretty much cuts out my church business. Bobby

I like it.

Simlarly, it's always fun to discuss the 'Aphex Aural Exciter' in public.

I have one of the late 70's (Columbia?) loss leader LP's, 'Deep Ear', replete with risque cartoon graphics. 

Perhaps it went something like this:  (à la Stan Freberg) 

producer:  So, we need a cover for Deep Ear.

graphics guy:  umm, ok.   You mean like the movie?

producer: yup

graphics guy:  umm, ok, so, um..  how about a ...big ear 

producer: yes, hmm,  ok

graphics guy: ...that looks like a #####?  

producer: brilliant.   Lunch?

I finally settled on

Pronounced Vawl-tee

I learned more about the real meaning of the word volti.  It is used on sheet music to indicate to the players to turn the page.  Kind of like the word (over) at the bottom of a page.  Volti Subito means to turn the page without delay, presumably because you will be playing notes on the other side very quickly. 

I like the musical reference to the word, and the idea of turning the page on speaker design.

Well done!  Volti Audio sounds good and is easy to remember and to spell.

Now it's time to come up with a cool logo...  The oppositeness of the V and the A could make for some interesting graphic possibilities.

Add one more vote; I like Volti Audio.

Islander - yes, I had thought about the opposing V and A, I like that idea.  dj dollar bill is working on something for me right now.  Or at least I think he is.

That's great.  It's sitting very well with me too, liking it more and more each day.

I am! Sorry just wrapped up with a few things at the moment, but have not forgotten and have some stuff worked out already.

And if you get big and start selling at discount, the slogan could be:  "Volti Audio.  You'll be shocked at our low prices!"

Even if you don't go that way, you could say:  "Volti Audio, the source for electrifying sound!"

Lots of possibilities with that name, not just my corny ones.

First of many, just ideas, not final products.

Putting in the work for the Klipsch Community/Family.

Feedback, suggestions welcome, especially from the guy who has to live with it/use it.

Ebver so slight difference, just playing with heights andangles, but digging this one a bit more:
