  1. what would they want to "trade",,,,you wonder. Heck, only 18K, you would get more use out of that then a car don't you think?
  2. Went to a concert at the AMP in Fayetteville, http://www.arkansasmusicpavilion.com We were in RFR and the sound was not good. It was loud but not very clear at all. While the warmup band was playing I walked around to find the best spot. I may get tickets to 38 special. I think the best spot sonically was right behind the sound mixing crew, hmmm imagine that, but then you had a hard time seeing the band. If you moved further back the sound was still okay and it was cooler since you are out from under the tent but if it rains you are in trouble. The main group (Third Day) had a hard time with feedback, I wonder why that was?
  3. I have LaScalas but do not have them in a room to do them justice, reading your writeup makes me want to move mine and swap them out with my Corns for a while. You will have to change the nickname for your speakers or I will be very confused, since there is a memer here who routinely takes out his twins (tube amps I think),but you can keep the name.
  4. hehehe, Trey----when you say the "Farmhouse" is out of town you make it sound like Hope is a huge place. Hmmm, from my recolection the Farmhouse to downtown cannot be more than 15 minutes. I last visited the Farmhouse for my 20 year reunion, I do not know if I spent much time inside, what about the country club? Or the Farmhouse! hehe
  5. So who is gathering this evening to purchase the 6th installment of Harry Potter. They are having a costume party at our local book store before the book goes on sale at 12:01. I usually try to encourage our kids to go to the library instead of purchasing books, but we have purchased the others so I guess we will do the collection.
  6. No, no, no.....get a big metal tube and go to the local ice house and get a huge block of ice, then put the fan behind the ice. If you want the block to last longer put a wet cheese cloth over it!! Now that is air conditioning. (I have actually seen this done on a front porch and it works great!!
  7. I saw a pair of heresys with a bid of $750 the other day, now they may not come through. I also see that someone bid 450 on H700s-----1st bid. I just do not understand some folks. And I love the sellers that start real high and get no bids. There is a pair of old heresys on ebay that I want but the shipping is killing me, is there anyone in California that is planning on traveling East (possibly to Hope gathering) that could haul for me?
  8. Well, over the next couple of days email and ask for the finish and serial numbers and we will see if we get any and the same response. Here is my response,,,,Serial # are 8549470 and 8549469. They look the same as the picture, they are real walnut. If you would like to see them call me 843-514-1874,,,,,
  9. depends on the weekend, I already have plans to travel that direction twice in Sept. for Friday night football games. I am not sure of the dates. If it does not fall in line with one of those I do not know if I can make it but I will tell my brother and I am sure he will attend. Just checked, I will be down there the 3rd and 9th. Still might make another trip.
  10. I went to a store in Savannah last week. I knew they carried Klipsch, big sign on window told me so. As soon as I walked in I was asked if I needed any help. I stated I was there to listen to some Klipsch heritage line, the guy looked and me and stated "never heard of the stuff", knowing that not everyone refers to old line as Heritage, I asked if they stocked,,,,(and I named each style), Nope........All they had was the THX. and it was all in a listening room in the back hooked up to NOTHING.
  11. Well, I have been on the purchasing end of several items. If klipsch product is the same and MSRP is $999.00 I would say the dealer is paying somewhere around $333 to $450. The cost of running a business is big ESPECIALLY if you are not selling thousands of an item. I was in one business and hated stocking big ticket items. My largest competitor was mail order and if I matched them I was making about 10 to 15 percent. Not enough to stay in business. So if you want the speakers and you want to keep your dealer around, buy them and be happy.
  12. hmmm, maybe America who is still out doing concerts and the Doobie Bros have lost a little umph.
  13. Well riddle me this batman. How fat does my little piggy bank need to get?
  14. Do a search on zebra or zebrawood. several have done what you are wanting to do and a few have included pics which are awesome.
  15. remember that bulbs can run in the $300 plus range which kind of scares me off of the used market. If I get a used one for half of new price but then have to purchase a bulb in less than a year, I ask myself if it was really worth it. I am borrowing a Dukane this summer and the room needs to be dark but works great.
  16. Heresys are great but just wait until you get the Cornwalls!! Because you have entered the "Klipsch Zone", you WILL get the upgrade bug. Probably sooner than later. hehehehe, but I still love my Heresys and my neighbors have come to enjoy them as well.
  17. Mr Thump, For someone that resides in Ohio, how do you come about all the classifieds?
  18. I am posting this Picture for the benefit of PARROT notice the light! I made the window myself
  19. Hmmm, picked up MAYER concert today, it is okay, I think he is a Dave Matthews want to be. Must add the new Eagles DVD to this list. Wanted to revive this list and see if there is anything new!!
  20. I called the station that I was most interested in listening to and asked them what was up. They are 5 miles away but the signal stunk (using supplied antennae), they asked me which what the wall faced that I had the antennae on and told me to put the ant on a North or South facing wall. 200% better.
  21. Well, if you are ever in Springdale, AR and just want someone to fix you a light lunch visit Dimes Meat Mkt.. Now if you want a good ole down home big home cooked lunch and it happens to be a Thurs or Fri., you MUST go to the sale barn near the rodio grounds. Now, you probably need to find your nearest sale barn and see if they serve lunch. If they do and you have never been, you may want to give them a visit.

    Racing Stripes

    But it is the flies that really make the movie!!
  23. That is cool, and just how many things does PVC get used for. That is a great way to build the frame.
  24. I just picked up some MDF and painted it with exterior flat enamel. I have left it out but some have told me too much water will make it swell. But for the 12 bucks I spent I do not really want to move it that much. Plyboard would have been lighter but I thought it would bow faster. I am using a Dukane (borrowing it for the summer). I think if I was to purchase one I would get an Infocus 4805(I think that is the number). It does have to be dark, so right now we do a concert DVD from 7 to 9 while we grill and eat, able to see a little of the end and put the movie in at 9. So far Goonies Pirates of the Carribian National Treasure Sandlot Finding Nemo Pocahannas (I like the soundtrack) Lion King Doing Aviator tonight, since the kids are gone
  25. Well, I had to laugh when Walsh said he got drunk once, "It just lasted 20 years" comment was made that they would roll on into Farewell II somewhere along the way
