For $150, that's a steal in any shape. But you can get that formica off, and I would. There will likely be to much glue resin and damage underneath to restore the original wood. However, you can buy sheets of veneer and re-veneer them. There have been a good number of threads with people posting some photos of their DIY re-veneer jobs. Folks, you know who you are. Why don't you post your pics for John? Congratulations and good luck!

No, check the hint. I was kidding around about how the youngsters might consider this Classic. It's actually more recent than Classic, but we've all heard it a million times. []

Points well-taken.

Marvel, we don't have to pretend to be quasi-hermaphrodites here. It's okay. We're on a hi-fi website.

This must be the lyrics thread for the teens 'n tweens! Anyone ever heard of "Cinnamon Girl" by Neil Young? Tell me you have never heard that song. I'd better not try any Beatles... This is probably what you young 'uns would call Classic: "In my eyes Indisposed In disguise As no one knows Hides the face Lies the snake"

I got it, now. Thanks for all your input. It was mentioned about how many makers use the same drivers and different boxes to effectively make a different sounding speaker. I get that, but I have one question on the economics of the deal. What do new Corns run? I don't know. Let's say $3,000 (if they are even that high). I keep hearing new Khorns run $7500. Somebody tell me the reason why assembling wood justifies the $4500 difference. Just curious because if I could not get KHorns for alot less used, I think I'd definitely get out my table saw and start cutting wood before I spent $4500, let alone $7500.

Slamming the VC againt the magnet scares the crap out of you. That's what I must have done that one time with my Corn. Did not break anything, though (that I am aware of).

I know they are, but don;t know why there'd be greater distortion if the same driver is used? Is it only the size of the horn? That would be an easy mod...

How could it be, Duke? Same driver, no? Would it because because of freq. cut-off differences in crossovers?

Buddy..... not Decade. Think spice.

When I play drums to CD's, the vibrations make the CD-player skip. Some recommended tennis balls, etc. as shock absorbers. I wonder whether there is a good MP3 player for use with stereos. One that has easy menus, easy organization and navigation, lots of storage, etc. And.... if so, will MP3 stand the test of time, or are we moving to something else?

No go. With that much of a hint, might as well give it up and post a new one.

Oh, Mrs. Dtel, there is this thing that women will never get about men - as long as we're in the dropping hints business. First, women are much more community-minded than men. Men want to achieve like Lone Rangers. I am sure you knew that, but until you actually felt the forces of nature like we do, you'd never understand us. Ever notice how the male species of animals walks around peeing in spots? It's not because they want to be "soft" and "open." If only you could be a fly on the wall at an all-night poker party between 21-year-old males. Then, you'd see nature unfettered by social re-programming. [] The above comments were a prelude to this: "You don't want to hear Devin in his own words." Now, if Devin wants to exercise a little willpower and be re-programmed momentarily due to the nature of his audience (ladies[]), we might hear a somehwhat diplomatic response. He'll get brownie points, and we guys will fully sympathize for why he caved. Oh, Devin?

Okay, it was "Sweet Leaf" by Black Sabbath. Try this: A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight If noone gets this one, I'm quitting! []

Oh, Divin! Did you open up a can of worms with that one! I can see Missa asking "So who WAS your eye set on?" [] This is all in good fun, ladies. If we couldn't be humorous and tell a few guy jokes, we'd might as well shrivel up and die. I love the series "Two and a Half Men." Perfect male comedy!

Rules require new challenge w/in 10 minutes of a correct answer. Olorin or JB, the first of you to post...

Okay, it was CCR "Born to Move." Cool tune! Try this: "I wanna tell you bout my good friend I ain't disclosing no names but-- He sure is a good friend and! I ain't gonna tell you where he comes from, no!"

Now, for some more fun on the way... For those of you guys who would give it all away for a good wife, keep this in mind. Do you recall all those married guys who said enjoy being single while you are and don't be in a hurry? Amen! It all changes when you give up the bachelor's life. And when you find the right one, it really hits you as being permanent. It's like a transition from young to old. As kids, we always wanted to grow up, but now that we're older..... Don't they call this...... what's the word?....... trolling? []

Okay, I just saw I was voted off the the thread for telling Michael to go buy a woman. My point was taken out of context because of its obvious sarcasm. What I was saying (in gest only) is that we boys get so entrenched in our boy hobbies (like stereos) that we find it takes time away from whatever activities are more likely to land a nice girlfriend, wife, etc. So, if you'd give it all away for a good wife, stop listening to the stereo and go hang out where the wife might be found. Of course, those activities cost a little money (just like stereo hobbies). That's all I was saying. It was funny, though, watching a few of you recoil in astonishment. Or, guys........ you can wait for the perfect, Klipsch-loving babe. That sort of reminds me of the old Yahoo commercial where the old man's monkey sits on his shoulder and keeps throwing food at the wife. So the wife leaves the man. The man Yahoos himself a new wife with a parrot on her shoulder. The perfect match! The parrot catches the food thrown by the monkey, and everyone's happy. [] Anyway, out of all of you, looks like Dr. Who understood my post the most. Post the most???? []

Another hint: Godsmack did a tribute to this band by re-doing this song. Now, Godsmack is getting radio play for their tribute version.

Yeah, if the challenge is going nowhere, either gotta drop a hint or kill it at some point. You're wrong on mine. Keep trying. Hint: This song is a by a band who briefly had a lead singer who was formerly with Deep Purple. The song is about......... drugs!!!!!

Okay, we have a Googler who's said he doesn't recall any radio play, plus the fact that nobody has guessed anything about in in well more than 24 hours. Rip!!!!! Try this: When I first met you, didn't realize I can't forget you, for your surprise you introduced me, to my mind And left me wanting, you and your kind

Oh, Ray! Sorry about that. I was so sure I was right. Oh well. Anyway, the next one was "Land of Confusion" by Genesis. And then, Fish got yours but bailed. I made a mess. Sorry. Here's a rocking one for you, Ray! Next: "Evry day Im gonna strut that stuff. When the musics loud I cant get enough. Singin hi, singin hi, Come on feet, teach yourself to move." EDIT: No takers? I didn't steer far from Ray's.

Do, Do, Do "Looking Out My Front Door" by CCR Next: Is that the stars in the sky, or is it, rain fallin down Will it burn me if I touch the sun-uh, yeah, so big, so round Would I be truthful, yeah, in, uh, In chosin you as the one for me?

You'll probably have to drop us a hint to keep the game alive.
