Production at Wixom of the Ford GT runs through September of 2006. They are still being made. With an MSRP of $155K, I'm sure dealers would love to sell get even more of them "of their books" for $200,000. In most cases, they are currently selling for above list.

Pretty sure the Ford GT is still being assembeled, but this is the last model year (they're still being both sold and ordered).

I first heard a McIntosh in 1973 at the same time I first heard a Klipsch, at Hillcrest Hi-Fi in Dallas. They sold lots of good stuff. I was there to buy a Sherwood reciever and a pair of Advents. But what I heard changed my mind. As a college student, I had a pretty limited budget. After hearing the Klipschorns paired with the high-end Macs, and the Heresys paired with the Mac 1900, I was hooked. I almost DOUBLED my budget, but left with only a McIntosh MA-6100 (to be paired with my temporary old single-driver Altecs salvaged from a motion-picture theater). A series of acoustic suspension "New England sound" speakers served the Mac well until I was finally able to pair the 6100 with the speakers I first auditioned it with: Cornwalls. To me, after thirty years of McIntosh low-level ownership, the sound of a Mac is the same as the sound of a Klipsch heritage: the sound of music.

Allan, have you seen a doctor lately? Just to be on the safe side? Macs and Klipsch (Heritage) just seem like a natural combination to me. But then, I've liked the sound my little ss Mac on every speaker I've used (except for some Infinitys).

I would be doing many of you a disservice by not mentioning... Carlos V: Mille Regretz Jordi Savall: Hesperion XXI and La Capella Reial de Catalunya Alia Vox 9814 Music of the Renaissance from ballad to chacone, Mass to battle. Drinking songs and dying songs. Superbly recorded.

This forum software is driving me nuts.

Ceremonial Music for Trumpet and Symphonic Organ Rolf Smedvig and Michael Murray Telarc CD-80341 If Alan Hovaness' "The Prayer of Saint Gregory" doesn't the hair stand up on top of your head, you are either soulless, or you need better speakers. Ollabelle Ollabelle DMZ CK90572 Blues, jazz, soul, gospel, world. Passengers Gary Burton Quartet with Eberhard Weber ECM 1092 Vibes and guitar and drums.

BONUS SELECTION After Bathing at Baxter's Jefferson Airplane RCA Muddy multi-track recording. Soaring vocals, guitars, snappy drumming, and an odd recorder thrown in to pair with one of the true virtuosos of the electric bass guitar. It's been my "reference" recording since 1968. I'm over the limit, I know.

Sola Deo Gloria, as J.S. Bach used to say.[]

I believe Woody McDrange played for the old Fort Worth Cats back in the mid-fifties.

Congratulations, Dave! Way to go! P.S. There does seem to be something about Lutherans, lime jello mold, and flourescent lighting.

Well, for those who don't like their Klipsch speakers, there's alway this site.

Heavenly Father, Thank you, Lord, for your servant Bob. Thank you for how he has shared his knowledge and enthusiasm with so many people. Thank you for Bob's humor, good-natured wit, and dedication to those of us who gather here. Dear Lord, please be with the doctors, techs, nurses, orderlies, and the administrative staff of the hospital that Bob is in. Guide them with your wisdom, as you are the source of all wisdom. Be with Bob's wife and son and all his family and friends. May they all know how much Bob loves them, and may Bob know how much they love him, for you are the source of all love, Lord. Send your Spirit to be with Bob, and to work with and guide the medical staff, and to work in the areas they can't reach or see, to restore Bob to full health, for you are the source of all health. And Lord, bring peace and comfort, your peace and comfort, to Bob as he lies in the hospital, for your are the source and supply of all peace, and of all comfort. Your will be done to the glory of your Son Jesus's name. Amen.

You're using the DEFT Clear Wood Finish, am I right?

Still is, modifications and identity aside.

1977: Wendy Carlo's studio in NYC with four Cornwalls hanging from the ceiling.

Bingo!

This one is a little less esoteric.

My gut tells me this is an Allison V-12. Tom Ummmm, no, but here's a hint or two: it weighs 3000 lbs., and it's a 1790 cid, 810 horsepower V12. BTW: There are two of these babies in that picture.

I don't see much engine. Transaxle, tubes, pipes, bulkhead... but not much in the way of an engine.

Parrott, Which side is the "B" side?

Indeed it might! We have a winner!

Anyone in Atlanta check these out?

That's pretty cool looking, but I think I see several wrong turns. (I know... negative, negative, negative, always with the negative.)
