    I have to check some other info. I think this is my paternal grandmother (the youngest in the front), with twin sisters flanking her and older sister in the back. She was born in 1898.

    Post from another forum I recently read:

    2 parents
    4 grandparents
    8 great-grandparents
    16 second great-grandparents
    32 third great-grandparents
    64 fourth great-grandparents
    128 fifth great-grandparents
    256 sixth great-grandparents
    512 seventh great-grandparents
    1028 eight great-grandparents
    2048 ninth great-grandparents

    for you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total 0f 4094 ancestors over the last 400 years.
    think for a moment, how many struggles? how many battles? how many difficulties? how much sadness? how many love stories? how many expressions of hope for the future? did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...”

  2. My favorite 70’s receiver was a Pioneer SX939 when I was buying vintage gear. It sounded very, very good and had a great tuner.  I also set my son up with a nice vintage system that included the 929 and a pair of Advents and he had no desire to keep it. It is the one vintage receiver I regret selling. I would love to come across a deal on a SX1010.

  4. Salamander Synergy 323 in walnut with black rails conservatively rated an 8. Living room worthy condition. The furniture comes with two extra shelves for a total of six adjustable shelves and the optional heavy duty casters for ease of movement. Original feet also included. Capable of holding eight components internally depending on their size. Doors are easily removed if you want an open look. The unit is open in the back. Thanks for looking.

    I appreciate all of the replies. I am going from a pair of KG4s to Chorus IIs. Small room (12x12). Crappy receiver (Yamaha HTR-5240). Equilateral triangle with 10' sides. The soundstage of the Chorus II is seriously lacking, and I felt that way since I heard them from the house I bought them where the person was running a Parasound amp. I have A/B'd the KG4s and the Chorus IIs, and it's not close - the KG4s hit me in the ears, the Chorus IIs hit about 10' in front of me, directly in between the two speakers. I'm working on placement and room conditioning. Working to upgrade to an Adcom amp. Does anyone have any input on what could cause this discrepancy? The Chorus IIs are all original. They have great bass, fuller sound, just not engulfing me like the KG4s
