The problem with that TV is the fact that its 18" thick. Lots of folks hanging TVs on their walls these days. That one's not hanging too good. I'd rather have this one. http://www.6ave.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=SAMLN52B550

The following quote is from Michaels link. Really sums up Rashied. Cuthbert Simpkins MDat 8-14-2009 The words that immediately come to mind when I think of Rashied are kind and generous. He strongly believed in maintaining the integrity of the music and in its ability to cleanse and heal those who would listen. He understood the power of music to shape our attitudes toward life. His desire to be a force for good prevented him from playing music that stirred destructive impulses in the listener in exchange for financial reward. Instead, he provided the rhythms that freed the spirit to love and live in a space of true contentment. I will miss him dearly.

Quote: "Vick will be back in the pokey as soon as he gets a few bucks in his pocket" I don't think so. He just did approx. 2 years hard time with no priors. He comes across very humble on tv. Now the next question is, can he play football?

Ace wrote "If you want, I will look at it for free if you pay for the shipping and return shipping" I would suggest you do this. Can't beat that offer. Not to mention that fact that Ace is a standup guy. I bought a great computer from him several weeks back. Everything about it was exactly as he said.

Maybe we can learn something from coach Dungy. He mentioned something about "Christian forgiveness" at the news conference today.

" I dont use snipers(dont want to pay for something I can do myself)" Ah, but you can't do it yourself. See what placing a manual bid with 5 secs. left gets you. Oh wait, you are there, right now. Seriously though, you will win more for less by sniping. Although other buyers sure do appreciate the confirmation that a non-sniping bidder gives them. Yes, that is worth more because there is already a bid for that, I must go higher, higher, higher! Where as the sniper is a thief in the night. One bid placed at the end confirming nothing but to the winner.

If your watching the preseason game tonight you know that Vick just signed a 2yr deal with the Eagles. Interesting setup. Donovan's wondering What the? I bet Andy Reid can get some good out of the guy too.

We're just one big happy family.

Anything above what you can hear is simply window dressing IMHO.

First off let me say that I do not have a golden ear. Just the opposite I'm sure. So take that into consideration when reading my thoughts about sound quality. With my active setup I have been listening to a compilation of amps. They are an old 5 watts per ch. 6BQ5 SET amp, a 10 watts per ch. PP 6BQ5 amp, old NAD or CREST SS amps. I tend to cross into the squawkers at 400 or 500hz. Above this is tube amp(s) with SS on the bass. I'm swapping a RANE 22B active along with some even less expensive Behringer actives that I picked up here on the forum. I can hear no noise from these crossovers. All my cables are short and I have really have no noise to speak of after a minute or two of tube warmup. I'm using all sorts of configurations with the following speaker elements: The Altec 816a bass horns, Eminence Pro Kappa 15a in ported bass cabs, JBL 2441 drivers on Community horns, Klipsch RF7 horns, T35s, Dukane 5A540 drivers on some pretty big composite horns. I have played with all this ever which way you can think of. I listen and tweak, listen and tweak. I have learned that I can tweak the system for a certain style music or certain artist and its like they are visiting me in person. I can close my eyes and they are standing there. I really have been having a ball with it all. I can change my crossovers points, invert drivers, play with delay, use sub filters, etc. all with the touch of a finger or turning of a knob. All of the crossovers I have been using are 24db/oct. which has been fine but I would like to try some steeper ones. I've gone 2 way and 3 way with it all. It's been fun and I have really created some great sounding stuff (to me) with all this for not alot of money invested. Hope that answers any questions about it. I'm a mad scientist at heart and these audio explorations are right on target for me. The idea, the inspiration, and the how to do it I gleamed from Klipsch forum member contributions. Thanks guys for the help.

Larry, that duet was great! Got to watch that one some more. Speakin of Jimi covers, have you seen Monte Montgomery's "Little Wing". Unreal playing on an acoustic (Alvarez Yairi) guitar no less. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEu0Aa5cZW0

The thing with Jimi. He was the first to do so many things on the guitar that alot of those guys have copied. I mean really. Seems like most of those guys have Jimi music covers, no?

Tom, you indicated in your first post that you have 16 ohm crossovers. I'm thinking your indicating that the crossovers are setup for 16ohm tweeters. If thats the case then I would consider going a step further and getting the Crites tweeters or make up some tweeters with the eminence drivers/gothover adapters.

So right now you have two different impedance rated tweeters in your speakers? I would shoot for what was originally in the khorns and therefore the tweeters that have the impedance your crossover was made for. I suspect a different impedance will change your crossover point.

"I'm not a fan of WW I metal as it may crystalize due to age." Do what? There are wrought iron and early steel bridges all over this great land older than 1911. Do you drive around em? Not to mention rivet steel building structures. Do tell.

I don't think so.

No price listed. Only one distributor for the whole USA. How did you find it? No 3.5mm out on it I noticed. Sometimes its nice to just hook up to some powered speakers for listening. I found one at B&H Photo for 139 as a price point. Looks like it would do what your looking for.

From my personal experience, I would much rather get a yellow jacket than the wasp. As your tests showed we have a higher reaction to different types of stings. I sit here wondering what your reaction to the yellow jacket sting would have been without the shot regiment? I got stung by a bumble bee under the eye the day before school pictures. Don't you know I looked pretty with one eye swollen shut. I also sat on a hornet once while cutting firewood, now that one really hurt.

I know that some PSs have sensing capability. They monitor the voltage and can boost it when needed or such. The fact that Greg's connection has 6 pins makes me wonder if thats window dressing or some kinda complicated sensing PS.

Seems alot of stuff ends up at the unclaimed baggage store just up the road in Scottsboro, Al.

He did just buy a Harley so maybe he simply moved over to a bikers forum?

Downunder, your Chinese is too expensive! $35 for two people? Hope you got alot. We can feed about 8 people here Chinese dinners with soup and eggroll for that kinda dough. Maybe you can do better ordering Kangaroo? I just watched the movie Australia and I noticed they shot one in it. Now I once at a Mrs Smith's 3lb cherry pie in a contest and did score 2nd place. Unfortunately the backside price for 3lbs of cherry pie not cool.

I have bought my last 3 AT&T compatable phones off Ebay. Latest one is an LG CU500 which I have been real happy with about 3yrs now. Just make sure the phone you get is for AT&T and that its a GSM tri-band phone. The third band gets you Europe I think. AFAIK all of the newer phones will do this. Simply swap the Sim card out of your current phone into the new phone and whala, your set to go. The Iphone as I understand it is a little more complicated. I think the sim card for it has slightly different programming? So a simple swap and go might very well be a no-go on this phone. There are a mountain of these mobile phones on Ebay that will work for you. Pick a competent seller with good feedback and I think you will be happy.

I guess the ultimate no holds barred mid driver is the TAD 4001. I'm running a pair of JBL 2441s (newer 275) which I think are awesome. There are others including the driver Greg is using with his upgrades.I notice they recommend crossing at 600hz with a 12db/oct. slope. With your steeper 24db slope you should be able to go lower than that. I grabbed these specs. for the TAD off the net: They are kinda pricey though. SPECIFICATIONS TD-4001 Nominal Impedance 16 Ohm Frequency Range 600~20000 Hz Rated Input Power 30 Watt Maximum Input Power 60 Watt Sound Pressure Level 110 dB/W (1m) Total Magnetic Flux 228.000 Mx Magnetic Flux Density 20.000 G Recommended Crossover > 600Hz, 12db/oct Voice Coil Diameter 101,0 mm Phasing Plug 5-slit type Throat Hole Size 49,4 mm / 2" Mounting Dimensions 101.6mm (4 Holes) Weight 13,5 kg / 30 lbs Dimensions (diameter x depth) 178x156mm / 7x6"

Well I'm not a EE. I'm also not a TT expert. If it were me I would be very tempted to try what you have on your home 230v 60hz. I don't really see where the extra 10hz is gonna hurt anything other than speed control being out of range. I guess its possible to puff the existing PS which you can't use anyway. Boy if you could borrow the correct PS and compare it to the one you have........
