Or maybe this will help you visualize which would look better in your own room.

Ok we're back, to abnormal, and glad to be back, just so you all know I had a drink or three for all of you last week. We all had a good time, no problems. leaving New Orleans last week

^^^^^ I Love winning lifetime supplies of Everything ----

That figures, glad no one took pictures, it could have been bad. Had a rough week, all the food and drinks I could handle, felt buzzed and like I was going to pop from eating to much all week long. I do love clear blue water

you missed a really big forum party...it was epic, there was a special drawing and we all won a lifetime supply of everything.

Morning yet again..... Visited the local HD Zoo to fullfill many projects and a couple "HoneyDo's" Russians galore this morning, they sure like building supplys. 60s and dry all week, A good thing. With all this rain, iv got Alien things growing everywhere Last cup of Joe

Morning gang 39 and a couple drops of rain. Coffee waiting

Ive done it... I was offered a job with a start up in Memphis and I chose to take it. I sold my home in California, and much of my personal property, and up rooted my family to Tennessee. When I made the decision to go to Memphis, I was given a contract for ownership percentage at a future date as well as a straight percentage of sales and I worked and slaved for a handful of years to build the company while earning a salary and commissions (7%)... the work we accomplished grew the company 500%. The day finally arrived for the final written contract for ownership and all its details and when I read it, it said 1%... I had words with the owner about how disappointed I was, signed the contract and went home for that evening. After painfully thinking about it all night, I came back the new day and told the owner that I wished to rescind the contract and made him sign a rescind contract I had written. That afternoon the wife came into my office and had discussion where she asked me if I planned to screw them.... I thought for a second (at that point I was very upset), I said yes and stood up... walked out of my office and NEVER had another conversation with them or anyone associated with that company. As far as I know, that company soldered on for a few years but was never the same and I do believe it has closed operations. Retrospective... I wished I had been more professional and worked my way thru the issues. I am older and my life has never been the same since leaving... I have not been able to get another job in the same field despite working as a creative professional for 35 years. I do believe that no one wants a 50+ year old creative even with decades of background. For me, If there is any lesson to be learned... make sure you have something lined up before making any life changing choices. Much of the pain that folks feel is self imposed... its work, suck it up and live life outside of employment.

Good idea BSM, I will ask what they like for a nosh posh party before having a little beanbag studio chair sitdown chat. When they ask why the music equipment is stacked to the ceiling, I will tell them it is a hobby I gave up long ago but, like an old habit, it follows me where I go... With a little getting to know you playing in the background...lol

Those pics look wonderful Dtel. Sounds like a good time.

This community has been a HUGE help to me during my audio journey. Just trying to give back when I can.

What is the shipping cost to upstate, NY? Glad your mom's ok. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

The average person will change jobs 7 times in their lifetime, and have 2 completely different career paths. I would still advise you to have something lined up before you quit your current job. Especially in today's job market, it's not easy to find another job.

Yup, it was her idea. She's an RN, so worst case she goes back to work for a bit.

More important than any job is being there for family, your health and mental well being. No doubt money makes the world go 'round but without all the above has little meaning. You say funds are available for a short hiatus and if you have skills for today's market then take a break and refresh. Hit it hard after a few months in another environment where things have a different look. I had a different situation a few years ago when under new management and slow business the writing was on the wall, so I left. A year and a half later the new president asked why no one was in my previous position - one thing led to another and a month later I was back in a more prestigious position, more $$$ and a new outlook from all parties. Best luck

Mich State 84-74 over Wis. How about that, you Spartan fans were all concerned about nothing. When making Big Dance predictions The talking heads on ESPN all seem to agree that the in-conference record is all-important. They say the Committee looks dimly on a team with a good record if they can't go at least .500 within the conference. If that's true then the 10-6 Spartans look solid. Nothing to worry about.

Get goin' man !!! Them Scala's are waiting on you...

Picked up a very nearly pristine 2001 Mazda Miata. A few ticks less than 56K on the odometer. Not too bad for a 16 year old car. It's the LS edition so it's pretty much loaded option wise.

how friendly are you? You can always invite the neighbors over for dinner and make sure to show of the sound system. i think they’re less likely to call the cops if they already know you.

That is fun. Back in my married days, we’d do that with Chinese places for dinner.

Need some advice on the new neighborhood regarding volume control. Do I piss them off when just getting into office/cottage or, wait and stretch the envelope some officials may do, just to see how far I can stretch it before there is a knock from the local police? Or, peace them off when I am near going out the gate to my new digs? BTW, will have room for Chorus and larger at new location. Last location had thought about having company over but decided against it as the place was not large for both of us to occupy at the same time. Landlady did not mention that smoking,drinnking, loud music and parties were not allowed. So, she had her chance and I will presume all is well...until I receive a memo to the contrary. Thinking I may get the neighbors shirt from Klipsch to wear around her first, just in case. Now assuming I get no rise, I may just play Green Light... Lol, when she asked me if it would be one or 2 living there, I remarked that yes, sometime there are multiple folk around like 20 for example. She just laughed...

Just in case I'll pack my Board Room best ---

Nope. Typical, farm attire! Casual only.

Sounds like this slowly becoming a suit 'n tie affair?! I think I'll stick with my Arkansas tuxedo (overalls), thank you!

Received word this week that Pat Lavelle, CEO and President of Voxx will be attending the Pilgrimage this year in April!

Good Sun morning gang 38/Dry, and dam sure feels like it. Swapmeet walkthrough produced NO goodies. Wife talked me out of Corndog, Huevos Rancheros was not hard to talk me into. This year we have decided to try a new Breakfast joint EVERY sunday, this we have done so far. Some ok, two great, and a few that will not see us again, great pastime.

I've been wanting to dive into the Heritage line for awhile (eyeing Heresy iii), but I think procrastination will have paid off. Here's to hoping to have the Fiii's as my intro to Heritage. Thanks to all the input from the veterans on here, that helped cut down on my productivity at work today.

Very nice. I do like the cherry better than the black, but maybe not in all situations. This is a tough one.

Seems like black might be the winner here, and for the color scheme of the room, I think I would lean that way to. However, I personally own the cherry RF-7 II's and I love the finish on them. This is a picture of them at my old place, but you can get an idea of what the color looks like.

Thaddeus you are not alone. An adventure for sure. I which I had stopped working in my current vocation a few times. Life and happiness cannot be underestimated.

LaScalas any day! Fully horn loaded speakers are in a different league. Yes, the mids can be brought down to get a better tonal balance (mids not so in your face and bass will seem better). An 11x15 room will work. Take some cardboard and make some 2x2 ft. squares to see what floor space you will lose. Bruce

Absolutely... my family was aerospace from 1960+. Rockwell and douglas from Apollo thru Space shuttle.

I just picked up a Sherbourn C-10 cooling system from a seller on the Emotiva Emporium. Five minutes later won an auction on Ebay for a pair of Klipsch RB-81 bookshelf speakers and an RC-52 center channel. Now I just need to find a place to put them...Tim

Awesome!!!!

I'm remotely helping you both, with a little Steve Earle, KP-201s, a cigar, Jack & a smoker full of pork. A friend of mine (Scott) is joining the forum today & will be at Hope- longtime Klipsch & Mac enthusiast. The fever is spreading! SSH

Oh yea!!! My pants just got tighter

I like the "Stack" Mine looks the same, maybe worse, and let's not even get into cables The only thing iv done this year was a 3 speed fan celing mounted, blowing on "The Stack". 275 will spoil you, and surely Piss off the locals Few years back i installed this nice, roomy 4" X 4" channel on the wall, W/Cover, Cover no longer fit's...

Saturday morning. Coffee tons of yard work..f'ing pocket gophers About one more day at work like yesterday and I will be unemployed (quit or terminated) Gotta get around to hearing the Maynard amp on loan from Thaddeus Replacement C2500 arrived yesterday, MC275 MKVI arriving Monday I might have to use this wiring scheme

Its going to be a beautiful day here.....feels like Spring. Finishing the second cup....washing down a bowl of cheese grits. Shared some with Jake. I finished my physical therapy this week (rotator cuff) and Jake finished his cold laser therapy. A crown on a cracked tooth and that should do it for now Has anybody seen Chuck? Tied up with the new pup? Gary is quiet too.

Good Friday and Cheers to all here @ C C and C...I do read this just about every day, just don't post a lot. So I had this past Monday off. My friend fell in love with a Boxer Puppy, Puppy is located in Cedar Rapids Iowa about 4 hours one way... Drove friend to Puppy and brought Puppy back...About 8 1/2 Hours driving...Love friend, love Puppy...

Wally World best place in their camping section, buy three or four, because word is getting around on this stuff, it sells out around here.

Now that skeeters were mentioned, I got attacked by them working in the yard a couple days ago. I was bitten about 8 times in 15 minutes. I really hate hearing them around my ears. I'd rather deal with bees, wasps, and hornets than skeeters. I don't think I've ever had a mosquito bite in February, but it's 72 here today.....single digit wind chills tonight

Morning gang Dentist this morning for the wife, her turn. Breakfast out somewhere I see this sorry azz state want's their yearly Fee of $400+ for a P/U truck. Diesels it seems get Smog EVERY year now, even though they simply look to see if it's smoking. 37 and feels like it Coffee is looking good....

Schu has been scanning WalMart wallet photos again. At least he picked a good one.

Don't forget forum member justinweber Justin Weber's ampsandsound.com I have several of his amps and they are first rate.

My wife has been missing a week now. The police said to prepare for the worst. So, I had to go down to Goodwill to get all of her clothes back.

Jimmy just got a divorce.He was still very angry about the whole thing... angry that the witch divorced him, angry that he had to pay her alimony, angry that she got the house, angry that she got half of everything that he'd worked so hard to build.He needed a vacation.So he went down to Florida.One evening, he was walking along the beach after a storm, and he saw a brass lamp laying half buried in the sand. He picked it up, and as he was brushing away some sand from the side of it, a genie appeared.The genie said, "You have freed me from my captivity, so I shall grant you three wishes. Choose wisely, though, for whatever I give to you, your ex-wife shall get twice as much."Jimmy thought for a bit, then said, "You know what... screw a million... dude I want a BILLION dollars."The genie said, "I can grant you that wish, but remember, your ex-wife will get 2 billion."Jimmy said, "Yeah, yeah, whatever..."So the wish was granted.The genie said, "You have two wishes remaining. Choose wisely."Jimmy thought a bit more, then said, "I want a ranch. Not some piddly little ranch, though... I want 150,000 acres, 10,000 head of cattle, 1000 horses, 5000 pigs, 5000 sheep; and I want a full staff to take care of it. On that ranch I want a 15 bedroom 30,000 square foot house with 2 friggin swimming pools. That oughta do for now, anything else I want, I can just buy, since I'm a billionaire and all."The genie said, "I can grant you that wish, but your wife..."Jimmy broke in, saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah... she gets twice that... Whatever."The genie said, "You have but one wish remaining. Choose wisely."Jimmy didn't have to think a bit before he said, "I wish for you to make an aluminum baseball bat, and beat me half to death with it."
