Home, Mission Completed, need to rest up here for a few min, this morning in Bandon I was just getting used to 61 to 66 degrees. On the ride today heading south temp inched up to 97 here right now.

Well next time you float through Omaha let me know, I will make sure to smoke some up for us.

Since Dtel likes photos, front, and back of the bar. The butt on the left, is with a rub that the neighbor made, the one on the right is rub from good old Salt Lick bbq.

See this E-bay Listing for just the Horns, no Compression Drivers!

Picture below (Before Horns were Painted Gold) showing how Stands support Driver and Horn. I am only selling this Altec System, because I have ‘upgraded’ to an Oris Horn System that cost me about $6 Grand. I happily lived with the Altec Horn Midrange for 8 years. I would prefer local pickup, as I do not have any shipping materials for this system. But if someone is willing to pay for Professional Packing and Shipping at a UPS store, I will ship to the U.S. or Canada. The Drivers are Massive weighing in at 30 pounds apiece! I am located in the Minneapolis - St. Paul area of Minnesota.

heres a poor shot of my last horn system, which consisted of edgar mid bass horns, edgar seismic subs, and oris orphean top horns This was great fun setting up, some serious road trips for these goodies, Georgia, N. Carolin, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Cleveland, New Hampshire to name a few...................

Chuck Eye Steak is the butchers best kept secret; or, so one told me. Do need to marinate them overnight.

I'm surprised you didn't recommend that he build 4 18" DIY subs to go with his soundbar. Haha!

Wow yours are growing much faster, you must have gotten them in the ground a lot sooner. I just got mine in, last week. The thing about cherry tomatoes is that they ripen a few at a time so unless they are for salads what do you do with them? Would take a bunch just to make a sandwich Mine have been in the pots for a month. Planting time here is around good Friday for warm weather crops. Wait to you see dtel's tomatoes

There should be some kind of law, you should have to have some by a certain age, I think there is a law in Texas. Pork butt it really good but a brisket done well is just unbelievable, if you go to a BBQ place ask for some burnt ends from the brisket, there better than good. Making me hungry again Duder takes a mean pic of food. First rate fare, IMstomach's opinion.

WOW..... Thats some audio porn if ever there was.

Going to need some help harvesting the tomato crop. Two cherry tomatoes should be ready next week!

Or good luck!

THANK YOU.....

I thought I would start a Memorial day tribute thread to give recognition and thanks thanks Pops and godspeed.

The best listening location at an outdoor concert (that has sound reinforcement) is always near the soundman, who is generally located in the sound booth which is (usually) some tarp covered scaffolding either on a center line some distance from the front of the stage or off to one side. That being said, I'd like to convey two of these outdoor concert experiences, both at the Chicago Blues Festival. On one occasion I was standing near the sound booth which was off to the side at this particular stage. Behind me and to my right was the Gibson guitar sponsor showcase trailer. They had their own sound system hooked up & playing music that had nothing to do with the live performance. The sound was really, really bad and very annoying. Finally, in frustration I turned around & was about to complain loudly when I saw what was making all the racket. It was a Bose column system. "That figures". And then decided it wasn't worth complaining about and went to the other side. The other, more peculiar instance that day was in the Petrillo band shell area where they have a large cordoned off seating area. I was standing along side the sound booth. After a while security comes up to me and says "Sir, you can't stand here". I ask "Why not"? He says "This is a seating area only. You'll have to take a seat." OK, I go find a seat. A little while later security comes up to me again and says I can't sit there because its reserved. "I don't see any reserved sign". Yes, I know, but it's reserved. So then I go to the very back where there is a standing only area. After a while security comes up and says "Sir, you can't stand here". By now I'm getting a little pissed. Told him what has happened so far and asked "So, why can't I stand here." He says "This is a smoking only area." (I don't smoke). I turn to the guy next to me and ask for a cigarette, and he lights me up. I turn to the security guy & said "You go tell your ****ing boss that if I have move one more time I'm going to stick this cigarette up his $ss". True story. Unfortunately Johnny Winter sucked so I wound up leaving early anyway.

You've taken a road less traveled... So wish you were closer... Love hearing systems that well thought out.

I don't know I'm with duder, we had a late frost so I waited a little, there only probably about 1 to 1.5 feet right now. But I did plant 4 cherry tomatoes also, last time the cherries didn't do so well. Also 8 regular tomatoes 4 bell peppers, 6 cucumbers, 4 Japanese eggplants. It's not a big garden about 6x 20 raised. Years ago we did big gardens, but it's way to much work especially if it only me doing the work. I like tpo plant corn also but every time I do we have a drought and they get 3' tall and stop. The grandkids like them but usually I just eat them when there ready as I walk by.

I did order it, got the PA-150 for 399.00 shipped. I spoke to Mike at Acoustic Sound Design and asked if this was the best sub for under $600 (the max I wanted to spend on a sub) for clean and low bass I could feel - he said 100% yes. I suppose I could return it if I'm not happy but yea, I want to feel the bass in movies. I also will still have my Infinity sub hooked up. I really couldn't find any sub for under 600 that had great db in the lower HZ. All the others on that list were >1500 dollars. I would love one that performed well in the 12-16hz - I just don't think they are under 2k. Do you know of any?

Well I got it from a disputable source that he was on the Malaysian flight that

That would be silly, two would work !

You look like Jack Nicleson in Chinatown.

Not a good day at the house....

Wow yours are growing much faster, you must have gotten them in the ground a lot sooner. I just got mine in, last week.

Geez it's hard to believe I've been coming here on and off (mostly on) since 2001. Built khorns,Jubilees and a few other little projects with help of the combined brain trust of this fantastic web site. Hope all is well with everyone. Let's keep the info flowing for the younger audiophiles. All is well Big D

There should be some kind of law, you should have to have some by a certain age, I think there is a law in Texas. Pork butt it really good but a brisket done well is just unbelievable, if you go to a BBQ place ask for some burnt ends from the brisket, there better than good.

Never been to Omaha, i would stop by if passing through. Thank you for the offer.

Looks good.... Cherry tomato's are outstanding....

That's why people put braces in or stiffen the sides. It's also why the newer Lascalas have wider material on the sides of the cabinets. I crossed mine over to a sub at about 70 Hz. it got rid of the buzz and I kept the stock appearance.

I think that is the reason... If it was a loose part I think it would keep buzzing no matter what. It must be the resonant frequency of the cabinet. Do you know what frequency is it buzzing at?

For those that have never heard them... what I was once told by Jim Hunter is if you can tame the sidewalls, they will sound as though they have another octave (perhaps an overstatement?) of bass in them, much like the LaScala II. He said they actually HAVE that sound already but the buzzing panels destroys it. Fixing the panels will make them sound much closer to the LaScala II in depth of bass. I'm game for a template.

I wish I was better at describing sound but for me it was a huge improvement. My LaScalas had spent their life in a choir loft as speakers for an organ and the cabinets were quite dry with some veneer peeling at the corners. It is safe to assume the panels had shrunken a bit. They resonated horribly and the bass was quite flabby... you might even say they were flatulent! I inserted the wedges for a few months and just fitting them by friction made a difference. When I finally glued/sealed the cabinets and installed screws from both sides of the wedges it made the bass - mid-bass MUCH tighter and more clear.

Never, i would probably like it, Pork butt sounds great, maybe some corn on the cob for a side. Just threw in a tombstone frozen pizza myself, yummy.

No pork butt, whoa hold the phone you've never had brisket.

Nice yard, is that brisket ? Never had it but always looks good.

The top is nothing fancy but I would like to make a concrete counter top, the back is still open so I can run electrical, for a couple of mini kegerators.

Good afternoon, what a rough morning it was after last night. Whew, well I have some pork butts on the smoker now, I have a party tonight to go to, then a graduation party tomorrow. Its going to be a long weekend.

tough thread to read. My most sincere blessings to all!

A bowl of freshly cut gardenias can sure make your house smell great!

Sounding awesome minermark! I imagine the mrs. deemed them living room worthy which is a win win ....& win again and possibly another! cheers! them belles and the lascalas in the living room...hmmmm... Now guys...when the peacock get rowdy id say the deed was done! this thread in my mind is a bit i guess well...cables then coffee lol

Good Morning All! A little yard work, then Coke on Ice; too hot for coffee.

Enjoy!

I was hoping someone would but the little filly from Wyoming was already branded Things looked good for awhile till the lead singer came over at intermission and introduced himself. She would have had a better time with me

My Laithwaite box has arrived.....

Thanks everyone! I just spoke to Mike at Acoustic Sound Design! He was very helpful and answered all my questions. So now I have a pair of the Rf-62ii (2x) along with the RC-62ii on its way! The price couldn't be beat so it was a no brainer. Thanks again for the recommendation. Now I just need to return the Icons to Best Buy .

Stones fans are rockers, city slickers, hippies and cool cats. Willie fans are hillbillies, cowboys, rednecks and outlaws. I am a big fan of both. I better not comment further. The law may be reading. End note. I was at a Waylon and Willie concert back in my university days. My parents were both there with me. They smelled something burning... Guess what it was? LOL

Mississippi State is my team; but, I like especially the College World Series. Rice won it all not too many years ago.

That's why Jimmy Buffett lives there.

Week one of the Atkins Diet. Want to lose from my current 187 to 181pounds (6'2"). Got the urge for something sweet so here is my Atkins friendly cheese cake!

I guess zig zags wouldn't roll meatloaf very well (one of the few things i never tried).

Willy I am sticking to 1500 calories per day and have been since January. You're not helping.
