Just put Bob's CT-125's and his diaphragms for my K-53-K's in my '84 H-1.5's last week. Recapped them about 9-10 months ago. The sound used to be a little on the harsh side, but it's smooth as silk now...if that's the right phrase. Or maybe it should be, They are less tiring. Anywho, along with my new Sub 12, I can now wait as long as needed to find that set of Chorus2's that aren't five or six hundred miles away from me. Randall

jeph, I bought these about 3 weeks ago for my set of Heresys(Yes, Heresys!). This was after I had mine elevated 12"with makeshift stands. Okay folks, I know many would consider it heresy to set them up off the floor, but it works for me. Anyway, right now this is the cheapest price on the web. They look GREAT, and very well made. Came with not only a set of adjustable spikes for carpet, but also a set of rubber pads for hardwood floors which I have and a set to sit the speakers on. I was wary of just sitting them on top of the stands without anchoring them some way, but they are rock solid. Did I say they look GREAT. http://www.buy.com/prod/wood-fgh-12e-speaker-stand-wood-ebony-wood-fgh-12e-speaker-stand-ebony/q/loc/111/90144363.html Randall Edit: The only caveat would be, I would go for the 2-day shipping for 5.49 via FedEx.

http://www.critesspeakers.com/klipsch_tweeters.html Bob will rebuild them if you don't feel up to changing the diaphragms yourself. Good guy and forum member.

BIG Sansui, Marantz or Pioneer. If it doesn't weigh at least 45-50 pounds, we're not on the same page. Pre 1980 preferable, but I AM biased. Welcome to the forum. There'll be more folks chiming in with other routes to go. Randall

Speaking of enjoying the ride, is that a Bugatti in that Avatart Artarama? Kaiser, it is indeed a Bugatti. No mistaking it. And I am leaning towards it being about a 1937 57S(unbelieveably rare ,if thats what it is). God, I love things I can't afford. Randall

Tom the outputs on my 980 that I use are marked "frontmixed". My setup for music is 2-channel only. If you have separate outputs where one is marked front and another is mixed, I would assume that the front would be for your main speakers. I may have to hunt down my manual. I am only talking about the RCA jacks and not any of the other outputs. Mine sounds stellar piped through one of my Sansui's(plural police, please correct me if I'm wrong). BTW, which Oppo did you get? I ordered the BDP-80 and though it won't be here until tomorrow, I have pretty much made my mind up to send it back to Amazon and get the BDP-83 instead. Main reason being the 83 uses Anchor Bay's VRS chip. Hope this helped!!!!!!!!! Randall

Mine will be here Thurs. along with several others. Also an Oppo BRD player Bluesboy, this is all your fault...plus a few too many beers. BUT, I think I'll have few regrets. If the new player sounds as good as the 980 for 2 channel, I will have my 980 in the Garage section soon. If the sound isn't up to the 980, you won't hear a peep. Randall

This is a bit OT since we are talking about homemade sauces, and which for a long time I have always made myself. I may quit completely, because this weekend a friend introduced me to Old Mule sauce. I can't compete with it. https://www.oldmule.com/ It's a family operation and is made on the family farm in North Carolina. I have no affiliation with them. It's just THAT good. Randall

Thanks for input everyone, but I've decided to pass. If they had been Oak or Walnut, I would be driving right now. Randall

Good Morning, everyone. Finally found a pair of Chorus II's. The lady I talked to said they look just the way they did when they pulled 'em out of the box. 525.00 and a 700 mile round trip drive. I estimate fuel at about 75.00 total. What do yall think? Here are the pics.

Oldtimer,If it is fired by charcoal, wood, or horsechips, it's allowed. I know electric is not allowed and I don't know if gas is. I will defer to Cal on this one since he is a KCBS judge. Randall

Well, that explains why there aren't any down South.[]

This is true, we only used it during the summer. As far as fixed or rotating...if you're even considering the rotating ones, you have far more ambition than I do. Best of luck whichever way you go. And true, you have given me new food for thought. I do smoke in winter. Maybe I need to consider a smoke shack[um]

And he did PM me. And I did play nice,dammit.[Y]

Cal, THIS maybe my next smoker even though I'd have to get of my lazy @ss for a couple of weeks. For anyone who would like more than you want to know about BBQ, this page is a good one to START. I've got a buddy in Illinois that built one after I showed the plans to him and it was outta sight...after a little bit of a learning curve. You would think anything that large and heavy would be hard to move around, but it was stolen about 6 months after he finished it...then again his nearest neighbor is about 3/4 miles away. http://www.bbqsmokersite.com/tag/big-baby-smoker/Anyway, the Big Baby Smoker is the one I want to build and this page has most if not all the info you need. But mainly, click on THE SMOKE RING at the bottom of the page. It will take you to all things BBQ. http://www.thesmokering.com/ Pig Out, Yall, Randall
