  1. I think the original audience was not an experienced audio site such as this. Most likely, it would have been too young to know what a cassette is. Of course the pre-digital generations get it. Therefore, fwiw, which is very little, make it seven.

  6. Just do that if you're looking for LaScalas. So they won't be Anniversary Editions, you'll still love them and I'd much rather buy from @MetropolisLakeOutfitters. It will take a major life circumstance for to ever part with mine. I would like that grille cloth used on those speakers but the walnut is gorgeous.

  10. No doubt they will arrive with some damage, and then we will hear about it for weeks on end, and of course they will be accepted with the damage, as has already been admitted previously, and then a mind blowingly long negotiation will follow, which again will be documented ad nauseum, and the seller will finally decide to give up and cave to the buyer's demands for an enormous discount which then will be flaunted here with great gusto. What fun.

  11. The over/under isn't what scares me. It's the fact I can't wait to hear what Emile has decided to do! Cave or Man-up and forget about the vino and lobster and start dining by himself and eating #3 McValue Meals! 😂😂😂😂😎

  13. Just for the record, we did have beer and chairs, we just didn't use them! And I wasn't the only "good dude" in the room! You're 95% there, glad I could help you get past the last hurdle. You're splits are going to be very nice. Can't help but want to help a guy building splits that he plans to lend to friends for parties! You should mount a go pro on them and record the reaction on the faces of people hearing La Scalas for the first time.

  17. So Emile, what's your take on the LS 2's with sub on? Do you know what sub he's using?

  18. ClaudeJ1, I agree about the marketing bs. It's an excuse to drive up the price for no real tangible benefit, except aesthetics. I would never pay a $2K premium each for the 70th version, BUT, if you can get the Anniversary edition for less than the cost of a regular edition pair, why not? Winner, winner, chicken dinner !! Or, you'll have money left over to down some of that expensive wine Emile is drinking.

  19. Yeah Love my KPT-904's, but was looking at the "big sale" on the LS2's But like my horn on the 904's ... therefore looking for the "ultimate" horn the K-402 Jubilee horn, Yes, my friend has a good sub, but I "just" wanted to hear the LS2's so we turned if off. Cheers, Emile

  20. Emile, you crack me up. I just read about your 904 cabinet make over and already your out looking at the LS 2's. So, did your friend have a sub hooked up to the LS 2's? That's the knock on them, right? Bottom end is lacking? I've heard only match a horn sub with all horn Klipsch. Does this hold true? Also, anyone have experience with BK Electronics out of England? Supposed to be great sub at the price point

  21. Klipschorns are celebrating a 70th anniversary. LaScalas have not been around that long! It's marketing BS.

  22. Well ... wasn't looking forward to eating BigMac's and having to live in the "other side" of the house, but if the sound is worth it I could do it OK, heard them before but wanted to be sure. So; went to visit a friend (100 mi roundtrip) to check out his LS II's (w/ Oppo player and Mac MC275's). Very impressed with the awesome very clear and defined bass sound; also liked the mid/high range. Got back home and fired up my KPT-904's (w/ a cheaper Oppo and a cheaper Marantz) ... bass digs a little bit deeper, but not as "refined." But the 510 horns (with 3" B&C drivers) made the decision for me. Sorry, but IMHO much better than the LS's. Know I'll hear about that So, decided NOT to get them Probably will regret it when the sale is over but meanwhile I'll continue to drink good wine instead of "two buck chuck." Cheers, Emile PS, Played the same music on both ... Beethoven's 9th, Tchaikovsky 1st violin concerto, Pavarotti, Genesis, Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Pink Floyd and Cream PS2, Even got my wife to say "OK; if you really want them, get them ...." Add-on ... think I have decided to get some Jubilees ... if I can ever find them

  24. 105`. 111` in Tucson Thurs. Humidity is "up". 25% - 30%. Not cooling off at night. Was 80` yesterday AM for a low. Mind you, we are at 4000ft elevation The kiddie pool gettin' some use. At 9PM, I was sitting in it... smoking my pipe and watching the sky. Seeing some lightning to the south. Way to the south. Can't see the clouds, just the flash from the bolts. someone must have gotten hurt fighting the fire. Saw a medivac heli with a litter on the side, coming out yesterday afternoon. Drinking the last of this bag of Mexican beans ... A bag of Ugandan on deck.

  26. All I know is that Pete Mote got his and maybe more followers have as well. The trials and tribulations that he went through only help us to figure out if this is worth it or not. Thank you Pete and others that make us aware of amazing deals. "If it's too good to be true......" But I gotta say, this seems legit. Every once in a while a killer deal comes along and timing is everything. I don't mind the flaunting. He didn't run anyone's nose in it. He laid out how to get the deal done for yourself. Thanks for that and keep it coming.

  28. Yeah I eat a lot of lobster too....so much so that I am getting tired of it, so I switched to chicken (organic of course). It's all the rage now with the hipsters.

  32. No offense to any here, but AVRs and dedicated quality integrated stereo amps and separates are Def different animals. Both certainly serve a purpose. Nice looking marantz BTW....

  34. that where the "shake or stir?" comes from. "bruising" [from my understanding ... I'm not a drinker] means the vodka turns milky in appearance honestly, isn't a martini a polite way of drinking gin or vodka straight up?

  38. Picked this up used, so saved a good chunk. It is ridiculously large and thus will be a challenge to hide it from SWMBO.

  41. Never played an 8Trak. I even had a machine. A recorder. It was sitting in the recycle pile, rather than in a dumpster. It worked, but... We got a smattering of rain. A drop in temp, a jump in humidity. Smelled like rain ... Now the sun is out and just as hot as before. Did get to cool the house a little before closing it back up. Dark to the south. Might see more. When I lose satellite signal, I know I have 5 minutes to batten down the hatches. My resident tarantula opened its door. They dig a hole. This one over-wintered in the lawn. Handsome [for a spider] ... tan body with chocolate brown legs. Don't know if it's m or f. Will find out later. If he goes wandering looking for a mate...

  46. Thank you. It was reported that the shooter didn't have any problem walking into a gun store and buying a high-capacity magazine. That's one thing I'd like to see controlled.
