A lot of this jargon I don't follow to tell the truth - but this hit home "The SPL was so high that I was nauseous and dizzy." I can say I got a little panicky it was so loud. And it wasn't a hearing thing, it was like a punching bag was swinging into me. How bizzare.

I love Rosewood too - I bet they will most definitely be worth the wait.

I don't know about the PA, but this is the only concert I left because it was too loud in my life. I was concerned the drums would disconnect my aorta from my ventricle. Of course I was wearing earplugs, but the hit to the chest was concerning. I don't think anyone was dead the next day, but I can see how you can scare off pirates with sound. Arggggg matey! Hand over them watts ya scurvy bilge rat.

"This Is from a Who concert in 1975, at the Pontiac Silverdome" That's me scrunched down there in the masses! I remember that one ...

Cool project I'm thinking it's the prototype for the 4 6" fostex powered jub-i-wee

No rubbers - I could never move em I fear. I'm thinking carpet. They will have to come out for paint pretty soon. I have till then to figure it out. They do sound ... ugly when sliding. That's the door into the house from downstairs. Not the front door, but we never use it. That's a concern I'm also pondering, the glancing blow from bags or whatever. But even if they do get bonked it be worth it. Rather listen than look if I had to choose, but I would scream in pain.

I like the Outlaw a lot. It sounds quite good to me and it's easy to use. Easy to use is a term probably absent in most audio today, but remains important when wife is solo, visitors, the kids, etc. are around. I keep it hooked up so she can listen to whatever and/or run the TV through it. Don't want a theater system. I'm a stereo type is appears. The VRD/Blueberry is a little trickier to get running. It does have a different sound. I'll listen and try to describe it another time - but those nuances are not my forte. I also have high hopes for the XPAs. On to listening. I had soft FM radio on to be sure left and right was working and had gone to take doggie (real name Cutter) out. I hadn't really listened to anything so to speak. I heard voices when climbing the stairs for the umteenth time that day and the the guy next store had popped over. He was outside earlier and had seen the pallet and boxes. He returned to help carry them upstairs after a bait/beer/girlfriend run nice chap that he is. Impatient soul that I is there they already stood in their respective corners. (I might name them. Foreman and Frazier??? Better than George and George.) Back to the helpful fellow, first I apologized for my "say goodbye to the Cornwalls" the night prior. I don't know how loud it was, but it was punishing - Queensryche Jet City Woman was the grand finale. By then the wife was standing outside waiting for me to grow up. (In hindsight I should have tried the Doors or Coldplay, or Enrique Iglesias - ha.) Appears a few neighbors were along the fence too! The helpful fellow is not into much music, he has a collection of real old polka vinyl to worn for me to even play. Plus it's polish language. He said no problem about the prior night - I hope he had enough beer to forget. Anywho, he was ribbing me at how big the KHorns are so I put Plant/Krauss on. Gone Gone Gone. He covered his ears and went home laughing. He looked funny holding his beer over his ear. So, that was the first song. On to the sound ... in my best John Wayne voice - I don't do no stinking measurements. My cracker voice - it either gets it or it don't. My semi-rational impulsive inner being - I like both Cornwalls and KHorns. To me, KHorns float you in a sea of less directional sound, filling the room. Cornwalls seem more directional, you sense more where it's coming from. If you like to stand in front of a stack of Marshalls Cornwalls are heavenly. If you like a seat where it all blends KHorns are more the mix. I dunno if that makes sense, but that's how they differ to me. Both have virtues and I like both scenarios depending upon mood and BAC. KHorns sound better at lower volumes and great at high volume. Cornwalls sound better the louder they play. Course that's all to me. Cornwalls hit you in the chest. KHorns rumble the neighborhood and never really hit you anywhere except the ears. When I played Gone Gone Gone, if you know the song, it starts with a plodding bass line. Back door ajar, I could see the guy two houses over dancing on his dock while fishing. That made me smile. Then I saw my wife. That made me scared. I turned it down. He stopped dancing.

Keep trying - it'll work

Wow - very nice looking. Great way to deal with those horns. I'm thinking bout powder coating some similar horns.

I'm with Colter - my Yammy (which I still use) freezes up and won't always play a DVD. It's kind of old, but the freeze-up have been around a long time too. I use PS3 for hi def, but it's a wee bit noisy. I can play games tho a plus! Thinking I'll grab an Oppo just to have an alternative.

On one hand you don't need to worry because, well to quote one of the Floyd gang, I think it was Pink, "Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying." Or, Sticks and stones break my bones, but my KHorns render your utterances moot. Never let in an armed neighbor, unless it's beer.

Now that's how to spend the afternoon indeed. Next - gonna have to drag out the Blueberry and VRDS for the BlueVD versus XP's smackdown. I've surely wasted enough of your time so stick you head out the window and maybe you can hear woundrous sounds from Crackerville South. How bout some clap praise for PWK!

That's what a big gob of CDs on hot swap drives with redundancy looks like these days - least for me. Wireless out to the puter and receiver.

I noticed they are an inch or two lower than my prior ones. Also the top surface is cut back from the wall rather than making contact. A nice thought I'd say. The old scrapes are still awaiting paint as we try to decide what color to paint our interior. Using the Outlaw 2150 for now and I needed some input so I hooked up the ole -

And the other side

A bit clearer

Hope to keep them but wifey already gave me one dirty look about that idea.

Lusting from afar - sorry for the froggy pic. Oh well.

get-r-done in stereophonicalism

The other horn which had the little corner damage on the shipper has one small issue. The grill on one side is a bit deflected. Minor I suppose, but something to deal with. Can't see it, but now we know it's there.

Haul out the ... leftovers

Give it a big shove

Normally my organic recycling machine helps convert boxes and various plastic into shredded bits of uselessness. I had to ban him from the work area for the afternoon. No big deal - good day for a snooze.

Isn't that just special? As Paris would say - that's Hot -

Starting to look like progress
