  1. I am glad it is meeting (or from the sound of things, exceeding) your expectations. At that level, as you well know, it becomes more and more difficult to improve upon things.
  2. Here is a good challenge question: What was Paul's first wife's name?
  3. Roy put a lot of work into those H3s. I really liked the sound of them.
  4. That platter is a work of art is the same sense as a USN Mk 5 is a work of art. That is something else.
  5. The 402s don't have K-69 drivers so that's not a problem. A MWM would probably be (relatively) inexpensive but is probably going to be too big. I do have a problem of a small interior door opening leading to he room. A single MWM may fit but I'm pretty sure a double won't. JMON, Did you end up deciding upon something for a center? Surrounds?
  6. +1 on first pressings, and I agree with Thick as a Brick, but have you compared it to the Cd? I'll take it over the CD anyday. I have purchased a couole of reissues over the years and punted on those as well. Did you find something you prefer? I concur on the Basis products but I am not a fan of the Graham, although many, many are.
  7. That was a great ad campaign. It was launched around '63. It fit with the times, they were losing market share to 7-up of all things.
  8. Awesome news! Wait. Is he Republican or Democrat? Just kidding
  9. I think my list would be World Peace Commercial space flights to the moon The oceans cleaned up The 2nd coming (without the gnashing of teeth would be my preference) To watch another triple crown winner To see the Northern lights To be in the Distric at the height of Cherry blossoms blooming (which was yesterday) To know, definitively, who shot Kennedy Racial and gender equality Justice, for everyone, regardless of income. A Yetti mug that will keep hold ice cubes twice as long and under 10 bucks.
  10. I think Gilbert posted a photo of that very dame thing last year.
  11. I hear ya jwc, mine are not getting the juice yours are but my new Triode Lab 2A3 Integrated does it's job… very well ! CS_1.JPG TriLab_2A3.JPG You are going to love Jubes in that room once you get there.
  12. When I look at and more importantly listen to the K402 the material it is made of has very little to do with why it is well worth the asking price I gave for mine...!!! The real value of the K402 is in it's performance...!!! When someone questions the cost of the K402 have you taken into account the research and development that Roy/Klipsch have put into it and does anyone here think they know how much that adds to what Klipsch needs to charge to recoup cost and make a profit so that they can stay in business? If all one considers is the cost of materials then the Khorn LF and Jub LF is just a bunch relatively cheap plywood if you don't understand the real value of the research, technology, development and cost of manufacturing especially in the USA...!!!! JMTC miketn HPower, glad you could find 402s in your area, I agree what others have said about the value and I don't believe the horn lens only option is available any longer. Mike, I thought I was the only one who read Chris's post that way so I didn't comment thinking I wasn't understanding the point he was making. The only thing, to my knowledge, that is bought and sold strictly for the value of the raw materials is scrap. Some things, most really, are worth less than the cost of extracting the raw materials, we call that stuff garbage. I still think I am missing something in Chris' post on value. Unless someone happens to have an injected mold system in their garage, what difference does in make what the cost of the raw materials are? It could be made entirely from used water bottles that are available for nothing, without the molds what you have is pretty much, water bottles. Of course if there is some cheap way at home to make copies out of plaster, clay, wax, whatever, I suppose it would make the value less, assuming that person's time is worth nothing.
  13. Inwent to school with his daughter, he was a great, great man. God's spped Joe. Travis
  14. I can, had to watch it twice. See if you can locate the speakers in this photo.
