To stay on track.
I recently purchased a Milwaukee battery powered trimmer, and Toro 22" cut mower. Couldn't be happier, I trim and cut with half battery life left over for both. I never run out of gas and ky family can use it with ease (not that they do).

The future is the future. And EVs aren't ready for prime time. And neither is the grid. It all sounds good, but we won't power even 50% of all vehicles with fairy dust or unicorn piss, much less 100%. Yes technology will continue to improve, but it has a long way to go. Just MHO.......
At least you admit it's your opinion, I have respect for that.
Couple things to think.
What if we started incorporating solar systems on our homes, solar systems that charge a battery bank, that charge our cars? Wouldn't that relieve the grid? Of course, there are problems with adding solar to your home, this I understand as I've researched it, and yes, by the time it's paid for itself, I'm back to square one...so that needs to change.
Second, what if we can create audio systems within the vehicles to simulate the sound of a roaring engine when you accelerate?

Too bad nowadays the mantra is "be afraid to think logically"
Can we get to 100% renewable energy...maybe
Is it worth trying to do...of course.
Can it be done tomorrow or by waving a wand(or passing a law). NOPE.
The last company I worked for had a goal to double their customers by 2022. When I asked my boss who was the VP, why such an realistic goal. His response was that it pushed us to be innovative, to see where our weaknesses are, etc...
I think that it's important that we try. Take climate change out of thr argument. There are many benefits to electric power than IC. One example, when there wasn't many people driving during the period from 2020-2021, I noticed I was able to breathe a lot better, especially when running. Now this is based off of anecdotal evidence, but I do know I didn't have the black smoke mafia blow black smoke at me while running.

What's wrong with Gas ??
And Where do people think Electricity comes from. ??
Couldn't her from BURNING FOSSIL FUELS could it. 🙄
I don't have to change oil, spark plugs, air filters, or keep a gas can filled.
How much fossil fuel is supplying the grid as opposed to other sources? How much fossil fuel does it take to charge a lithium battery?

I'm not sure about the price, but I have met Mark and he is one outstanding dude. Has a nice collection and loves to chat. If anyone was to pursue this, do so without hesitation.

Couple newer ROON ready devices that might be a good option.
The Amazon link doesn't state ROON ready, but ROON's Facebook page announced that it was.
WiiM Pro AirPlay 2 Receiver, Chromecast Audio, WiFi Multiroom Streamer, Compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant, Stream Hi-Res Audio from Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal and More https://a.co/d/hNZcpRS
This may be a little more upscale, but that's for the end-user to decide.

Check with @Paducah Home Theater, they may have to khorns, not sure on Technics.
According to Klipsch's site, there are over 220 klipsch dealers in a 500 mile radius.

Is there an effective means to transform a set of Klipsch Heresy speakers to wireless?
Parts express maybe your go to. They offer wireless amplifier boards. Not sure if any have capabilities to sync to one another.

I'd be curious to see what's going on with that new dsp that is offered with Heritage Jubilees.

DSP Program recommendations are a starting point for them to then fine tune the loudspeaker/room installation.
Not meaning to get off track, but that is one thing that always drew me to active crossover, solely based on the idea that it may perform well in testing environments, but may not always be ideal for all home environments. That being said, unless you truly understand how to tweak these systems, this can be cumbersome.

Thank you, Poindexter…..You guys are so cute.

Sell as a whole lot, yeah, good luck with that. Not to mention, in my experience, when theaters close down, the demo company gets dibs on anything inside, this is how alot of these guys get this stuff...for free.

For lack of a better term, Americana with a little touch of bluegrass.
Never heard of "Americana" guess I just referred to it as Bluegrass.

I've decided I'm no longer going to sell things under $100
If you are selling your Lascalas for under $100, I will come get them, no demo needed.

Klipsch CDT-5650-C II installation times?
in Home Theater

If he's running wire and it takes an 8 hour day, $1000 for a day's worth of work Including wiring isn't bad.
