— because they are. Man lives in Wisconsin, gotta’ bring hoses inside before the first hard freeze. I’ve seen those at Home Depot, 50 and 75 feet.

Need advice on La Scala I'm considering

- much like Kramer and Seinfeld who got on the wrong side of Joe’s fruit stand - he’s been Banned. Banned I tell ya’! He was such the bad boy, sent to his room with no dinner, no TV, but still has his LS 2. -
How’s ‘bout this - gotta separate the bull from the shite - . Adds up to a steamin’ pile. Rare is the news reader that long to be opinion columnists. And it shows -

Never owned Cornscala but owned Cornwalls and Belles/LS at the same time. For me, these are entirely different sounding speakers and not a lateral move. But my experience is with CW, not Cornscala. Since I feel these are “different” sounding speakers keep the LS and add the CScala. By all means keep the LS and have fun adding/subtracting others.

Glad you found your KHorns, congrats. Although a drastic solution it is gratifying that in this day of gaslighting you are willing to pour gas and burn your pile of speakers. True gaslighting at its finest - burn on Bro Mudd 🔥🔥🔥

A good friend of mine is a Mercedes Master Technician and has left the dealer network to open his own shop. I drove a couple certified used Mercedes at a dealer, twin turbo V6’s. I called Jeff to get his opinion on a certified dealer purchased Benz, the first sentence from his mouth - “how much warranty does it come with”. That did it for me. Not only did I want to stay away from turbo cars, ( just had to drive the MB regardless) especially the now ubiquitous inline 4 turbos. Give me a naturally aspirated V8 any day -

— and I bet the Jubes were only used every other Sunday, playing church hymns through 2 watt single ended amp. Oldest story in the book - -
You should know better ‘Heel. Both of us are too old to risk a ladder mishap. Although I did climb my 24 ft. extension ladder for some interior work, I not only didn’t like doing it I knew I shouldn’t have. If you can buy fancy Dan tubes for your hi-end tube amp you then can pay someone for your high wire work. Much, much cheaper than a catastrophic fall. And beside, you still owe toasters to several people, me included. Falling from a ladder is poor excuse to get out from under a toaster debt. .

Gave Dukes a try vs. Hellman’s. Hellman’s won but Duke is more than acceptable. A sleeper Mayo is Heinz, damn good, equally on par with Hellman’s. Tried Kraft - terrible stuff. Avacado mayo? California dreamin ‘ that is - where one eats toast with avacado slices, a $9 cup of Starfuks and a pinky raised as a show of good manners —

Poor Schu - no sooner than your “new” Jubes hit the driveway here comes Chief Bus Driver Roy with one of those flat nosed buses 🚌 taking direct aim at your Jubes. Not only a center punch but insult to injury, threw it in reverse and backed over them, again. Now for mine, bring on the bus. The “newness” has worn off - but like Cheif says - they sound okay. -
Yes, have an automotive wrap applied. Hundreds of option, might be able close match the bass bin. When you want a new look, peel it off and go again. Once painted you’re pretty much stuck with color. I’ll try to post pics of mine wrapped in an iridescent blue.

ain’t nuthin’ wrong with a Black and Tan mishmash either - 🍺

A great glass of beer is the Black and Tan. And that’s how it’s done. I’ve never had an issue ordering this in a US bar. Most bartenders/waiter/waitresses know the term. Never heard it called “half and half”. Might have received a coffee with a splash of Half and Half? Would have been returned -
