Made a deal, had her engagement ring re-done in a larger way. FII's will stay. I noticed a Klipsch forum post yesterday looking for Oiled FII's, which showed up on eBay today for $280. I think shipping was $100. My "bargaining" chip (besides the new rock) is that I will NOT be using the FII's for HT, which I'd never intended, anyway. When I get my business going, I'll shoot you the web site. I'll be "recovering" and preserving old LP's, 8-tracks, cassettes, and even dbx-encoded stuff, either pure from the source, or enhanced with black gear, or enhanced with software, or any combination thereof. I prefer the pure approach, listening to old LP's or 8-tracks in the car, including the needle drop, track change, etc. The FII's are so I can hear what I've done. Some music, like a 1972 George Benson LP, shouldn't be heard any other way. Thanks.
