Andy, They are 1975 oiled walnut. Thanks for the help. Hope to see you in LR on the 8th. Regards, Terry

If you buy a pair of Cornwalls and two years later buy a second pair, stack them on top of the first pair, and get away with it........You couldn't be a "lickspittle" could you? Terry

Has anyone removed a Cornwall motor-board? How difficult? Is it glued? Andy HDBR? Anyone? Thanks, Terry

Dee, Will there be CWs at the par-taaay? Regards, Terry

What you will gain is more low end bass response though due to the bass reflex design, some people prefer this. At $500-$600 it is a no brainer, if you don't like them you'll easily get your $$$ back. ---------------- ......and what you will gain is "the Slam Factor".....bass like a boot in the chest....

When you are thinking of architectural sites, I'm wondering about the kind of things you would find interesting. At least one person has got reservations at the Peabody. ------------ Colin, I have reservations at the Peabody also, so that makes two of us. It is a very nice hotel (AR. Standards) and I am splurging . Depending on the view, $120.00 - $235.00. Speak with "Mae". She can get the $235.00 down to $159.00. This is a well deserved mini vacation for me. There are more cost-effictive places in the area. Regards, Terry

I can tell that you young men never saw Jimi................. Twice, and once in a 1,500 seat opra house, not at the superbowl. Row 5, center. The count was 28 Marshall's(sp?) for he and Noell Redding. What? Could you speak up? David who? ...just kidding....he was great Terry

Just think of how much your wife would enjoy all the things you will do to make it up to her. There is actually quite a bit of mileage she could get out of this. ---------------- I'm in, booked,and reserved. "we could have you back home before daylight"......Yea, I have heard that one before......... Guys, Do not speak to my wife!!!!!!!!! I must be out of town on business May 8. Terry

I love appreciation. I ordered my first set of vert decorators and paid $350.00 in '73. In '75, I ordered oiled walnut and paid $850.00.......but then again I could have ordered a new Vet for less than $4,000.00. Regards, Terry

As explained to me many years ago...... Horn loaded and placed in corners...... Have someone speak to you in a normal voice, and then cup their hands over their mouth........(horn) Have someone stand with their back in a corner, speak in a normal voice and walk away from the corner.....(corner placement) Terry

John, Lynn wants to paint and put new carpet in the LR. She has started to ask if the 511-b/902-16a could be placed in cabinets(gulp) ......It may be time to bring in the 4x50' rolls of single face cardboard!!! How quickly they forget. Talk to you soon Terry

I have RF-7's, but it's a pretty big pain to get them in and out of school. I hope we can somehow get a pair of 7's and K-horns there to duel each other -Jesse ---------------- Jesse, Where are you located? I am in NWA and considering a mini- van for May 8th. I don't believe it,but let me know. I have never listened to 7's. (With Dee's approval of course) Send me a PM. Regards, Terry

Crowns have a warm tube-like sound.

The job that Chris has done on those CWs has allowed me to discard the Viagra. Terry

Hawk, Killer cabinets! If you are not too hung-up on vintage "original", they could be super retro's. I'll bet TomB already has some Altec coaxial substitutes in his head. Maybe a little 1000 cycle horn to boot? Could be a great second or third system. Bedroom TV? Terry

Bob, What would you expect from a Bozak dealer? Terry

"They are also very "bullet-proof"." The D150 is a POS, one of the worst sounding and most unreliable amps Crown ever made. I had to sell and service them. ---------------- djk, I was trying to be diplomatic. Probably some around the BB. What did you think of the M-400 & M-600? Regards, Terry

Whole HOG, Half Ham, Arkansas by damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Diamonds? Are you guys Nuts?? Dee promised that I would get an education in tube amplifiers, but now, we are going Snipe hunting! Regards, Nolen Richardson

A writer whose opinion I respect, Mark Tobak, said the D-60 produced "some of the sweetest, most natural sounding output available." (Audio Alternative, p. 41, Tobey, 1975) Of course, he liked Phase Linear 400s too. I've used a couple of these amps and found them OK, but nothing to get excited about. Also, beware of mechanical noise. Several "pancake" amps like the D-75, JBL, and BGW can have significant transformer hum. This varies from unit to unit, but can be an extremely annoying trait. ---------------- Bob, I have looked for the proper word to describe the DC-300 sound. Thanks, "Wirey" is right on the money.
