I've got a new answer for the loudest "instrument". ;-)

This cloth looks pretty close, if not identical.

Here's what I was listening to when I was nine.

This could be embarrassing...
This obsession started slowly. My dad took me to my 1st audio shop when I was 9 to replace a pair of speakers that I had blown on the 1st system I ever bought. I walked out with a pr of Bozaks mainly because I liked the wood cabinets.
Dang, boy! You were buying Bozaks when you were 9?!? What were you LISTENING to?

Great snare! Congratulations!
My son-in-law went to his deceased uncle's storeroom to get anything he could use (by invitation only to the immediate family). His uncle ran a club in Dallas for a number of years, and so there was lots of good old "bar" memorabilia. One of the things he picked up was a small pair of "P.A." speakers my son-in-law got to to put in the garage. He showed them to me when I was giving him a vintage Yamaha receiver.
Needless to say, his "P.A." speakers were industrial Heresies painted off-white, with metal grills to protect the drivers from flying beer bottles. He didn't know.
His were free, but you got a FAR better deal.
(PS: I'm trying to get him to make the Pilgrimage with me this June.)

If you have the oil finish, I'd recommend Howard's Feed N Wax.

Yep. Couldn't figure out what I was looking at.
Underneath view of some kind of new sci/fi robotic sow, maybe? Aggies gone mad in Arkansas.

I used to have a McIntosh T-shirt that said simply,
"McIntosh: Power to the People" on the left chest, and had two big,
blue VU meters on the back.
A Klipsch T-shirt with the old PWK logo on the front left and "Horn Loaded" on the back would be nice.White. Black. Grey.
100% HEAVY cotton. American-sized.

How about these Van Speakers!!!
They're pointing the wrong way.

You know Harry Partch:
Larry
Never met him, but I sure like his work. Gamelan meets Spike Jones meets Charles Ives meets John Cage meets Noh theater meets Euripides. America's great "un-modern" contemporary composer.
Thanks for the reminder. I think I'll dig out "Delusion of the Furies" tonight.

When the Dallas Symphony plays at home, the loudest instrument (if it's on the program) is "Frito", the Lay Family Organ.
-
1) It was left inside, right outside.
2) Trumpet
3) Bach, Beethoven, Brahms

Does Dura Crest have a website? Googling hasn't found one yet.

I prefer good sounding tubes to bad sounding SS.

I prefer good sound to bad sound.
Coolness factor? That's another story.

Thirtyseven years of speakers, earliest to most recent acquisition:
Realistic Optimus 1's (the KLH 17 clone)
Electro-Voice single 15" driver theater extension speakers (PARTY!)
EPI 110's
Mission 700's
Mission 763i's
EPI 100W's
Boston Acoustic A150's
Cambridge Newton M50's
Original The Advent Speakers (doubled)
Boston Acoustic A200's
KLH 23's
EPI 150's
.

Klipsch Cornwalls.
The Cornwalls pushed the BA 200's aside before I got around to doubling them. A second pair of BA 200's is hiding in the shed...but stacking speakers that are 40x23x6" (making a tower two feet wide, six and a half feet tall, and only six inches deep) was troubling me a little.
I still have all of them except the Optimus and the EPI 110's. The rest are currently in use somewhere in the house.
(Bold= Bought new)

Yep. He's moving to Santa Fe on Saturday, and needed them out of his house ASAP. I was the first local caller. They've seen a pretty fair amount of domestic neglect over the last several years, but nothing serious.
His wife priced them. I damn near left with a 3/4" slate billiard table, too.
He has/had a Mac1900 someplace in storage, too (purchased as a set with the Cornwalls), but he couldn't find it.

The Menil Collection Museum complex is worth the trip (if you like art), especially the Dan Flavin installation, the Byzantine Chapel Fresco building and the Cy Twombly gallery (all free standing). Avoid the Rothko Chapel if you're feeling a little depressed. Could be your last stop.
Goode BBQ beats the Pappachains.
Stay inside the loop.
Tacquerias are everywhere. Eat up!
Great Vietnamese and Thai food, too.
Stay off the freeways (they're "free" because no one would pay for the experience).
Avoid the suburbs at all costs. Miles and miles of strip centers and chain stores.
Some fun dirt trails in Memorial Park for off-road bicycles.

They're mine, now.
Rough but restorable. Grills in bad shape. Purchased from Hillcrest Hi-Fi in Dallas in 1974.

Shallow? My Cornwalls are about the same size as my Boston Acoustics A200's they replaced... only about four times (4X) deeper!
Yeah, the wife noticed them immediately. [
