Now I have some new specs to throw at the builder....

Chorus goes pretty low, 38hz IIRC, so I am not sure what you mean by missing up to 50hz. The Forte goes lower but is not as "big" in soundstage. Are you sure you have them placed correctly, as in about a foot or so from the wall, in the corners, and toed in for proper imaging? $450 is a great deal for sure. Most music is between 40hz and up, but maybe you are not listening to music?

The Academy was not designed for the Chorus 1, it was designed for the Chorus II. Your impressions may be different when hearing it paired correctly. Good luck with your search, I will send any info your way that I might find.

This week I recommend Crosswinds by drumming god Billy Cobham (LP). 70's jazz fusion, with horns provided by the Brecker brothers. There is a track called "storm," a drum solo which is more accurately described as a percussive tone poem.

I was fortunate enough to see a game there before the modifications. It was a great experience. The Ballpark in Arlington was better before they screwed around with a few things, too, and now has the indignity of being called Ameriquest Field, despite assurances to the taxpayers made to the contrary. At least Fenway is still just Fenway (I hope?).

I was amazed at how Airto's stick on cymbal sound live was so much like that from the recordings when I listened to the vinyl through my Forte II's. I think accurate is musical. Colter makes some good points about baseline knowledge. if you have not heard a lot of live music and/or been there doing that you might not know what instruments sound like. Many seem to think that electric bass should sound more defined than acoustic, at least at the attack phase of the note, but all of my experience suggests otherwise.

I can hear Butthead already: "Huh-huh, huh-huh; Tool!"

I don't think it is illegal until you are asked to stop filming(we have the right to refuse service blah blah blah). Some things similar are illegal however, because there are laws or federal regulations regarding a federally regulated situation. At BB, this is clearly not the case. One unfortunate outcome that I see possible is more ridiculous uniforms instead of something so easy to fake (flash to Fast Times at Ridgemont High). While having no sympathy for the managers of the big box in general, in these times think about how much funnier it would be if the participants were all of middle eastern extraction? Wouldn't you freak out if it seemed as if a store full of potential suicide bombers were posted at every aisle?

Good article. I haven't even picked up a paper to read an analysis of the Stars. Their demise was similar. No key saves in goal, lackluster effort until too late, and giving up late period goals when they had the game won. Someone needs to step up on these teams.

I'll start with Brian Eno--Music for Airports. LP, maybe CD. This is ambient music designed to be almost subliminal. Only once have I heard it in an airport, and it was perfect--very soothing. Designed to be played at any speed you desire, I usually play it as slowly as my TT will allow.

JB, your flyers are playing like they forgot everything Hitchcock taught them....More like Alfred than Ken. My condolences, may the Sabres die a peasant's death.

You always pictured that type of bustle.....must be an expert on ladies undergarments, I tip my hat. So why would it be in the hedgerow? Of course! It's just a spring clean for the May queen...... ___________________ It's ok, there's still time for me to change the road i'm on.

First of all: Bustle(n):excited activity, noisy stir, fuss. But we know it's not a bustle exactly, but just the sound of the whispering wind..... Lots of us have chimed in with Stairway to Heaven, and I agree if it is not through my Forte II's with my Japanese pressing lp. But at home, listening closely, I still admire the tune despite all the overplay.

Not that I would vote for either, but your stats point out that lots of people are uninformed voters.

Yep, I'm glad that some people are able to see this issue for it's face value. It's all about Democrats expanding their voter base, although non-citizens with drivers lisences cannot vote legally in state or federal elections. That's why the media is pressing so hard for amnesty in their reporting because they would desperately like to see millions of Mexicans become legal voters in the US. The whole point is to get them on the path towards citizenship and voting rights so they can cast their vote for the Democratic ticket. However, some of the more liberal municipalities in the NE already offer voting rights to non-citizen aliens for local elections. Most notably, NYC democrats are pressing to change their laws at this very moment. Non citizen alien is a different category than illegal alien. Hispanics actually align much better with the republican party than the democratic party when issues such as "family values" and the non-obliteration of religion in daily life are considered. Immigration should be done through correct channels without a doubt, porous borders are a security threat. It is a sad commentary on today's businessmen that they prefer to save costs through hiring illegals so that they can boost profits and thus their perks and bonuses, while creating a massive threat to the security of our country. This during a time of so-called heightened awareness after a massive attack has already occured. Edit: Bankrupt airlines such as Northwest have the gall to ask the court to allow it to hire foreign nationals as cabin crew so it can cut costs to the bone, unthinkable to the less greedy after an event like 9/11.

Great stuff Colter, I like your kick drum point especially. I used a wooden beater on my pedal, combined with a pad which had a solid disk behind a lightly padded foam cover. The cover would wear out really fast so over that I put traditional moleskin to avoid a "knock knock" sound. This gave me definition to the max yet with a low thud, exactly as you describe.

Looks like a nice Academy there. Bd, I noticed in the one photo showing the Forte's that they seem too close to the wall and could use some toe in. Do you move them out when you use them? Nice looking projector image by the way.

Yeah Diz, lots of bad calls have been made so far, but that's hockey. For some reason it is way less cool to moan about the refs in hockey than in other sports.

I've heard'em all dtel. You are right, Cajun is pert near impossible to decipher, kind of like the old man in the movie waterboy. Colter, if you listen to the end of the song, I think they got it all in there, stuff like the internet, super bowl, etc. (theme song from Team America-World Police, music by Trey Parker) Plus, please get back to me about Matching Tie and Handkerchief, thanks.

OK, now the top two teams in the west are gone. The east must be licking their chops for another cup win.

Turco has the same rep as Legace. His stats are way wrong in the playoffs compared to the regular season. When we had Belfour and won the cup, Belfour had the rep that he would never win a cup. Well, he out dueled Hasek, who proved he could not win without an amazing red wings team in front of him. You have to have a goalie playing up to his full potential (standing on his head to block shots) plus a great defense in front of that goalie. Winning the cup is so difficult because of this. That is why there are a few back to back cup winners, but how many three peats? Not many. ____________________________________________ Nice panties by the way gonzp.

No problem. I have been to one game at Fenway, with great seats close behind first base. That was a real highlight for me concerning the Major Leagues. I was living in Seattle for the Pilots games, and then grew up in Arlington watching the Rangers after they moved from DC. The new park in Arlington is really a nice place to see a game, but Fenway has to be the best, maybe followed by Wrigley. Sorry NY'ers, you can have your so-called stadium.

I love Boston! It is the only east coast city I would consider living in. My best friend ended up there so I visit when I can. It is a great city, easy to get around, the revolutionary history is right there in your face, plus it is an awesome beer town. He used to live on the edge of Jamaica Plain right near the pond, and now he and his wife have a tidy condo in Cambridge right near the river. The concert was a great excuse to enjoy a weekend with them.
