Wow! What an honor - I just noticed your updated signature, Mark Muchas Gracias my friend Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Look forward to meeting you, Shaun. I used to run the Chorus with a Yamaha M-65 (170 wpc). Love the old Yammy M-series gear. If I were in the market, I'd be looking into a Yamaha M-80 to run these with. Just my personal preference of course. When you come to pick them up, I will have em' hooked up to a little Yamaha integrated for you to demo. They are gonna knock your socks off Matt

Yes, the finished motorboard really brings beauty to an otherwise drab speaker. So much so that it makes it difficult to put the grills on. The car should be out of ICU by Friday. That money is already budgeted and it is time to start enjoying er'. Can't wait to drive "Little Miss Sunshine" into the beautiful sunset. However, it won't be long, I will find something she HAS to have. I am torn about putting side exhaust headers with the massive 4" collectors on? Have always had a soft spot for those and it a part of the childhood dream Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

WOW! Custom Chorus, still available... bumpity bump bump ♪ ♫ ♪

Should have brought your checkbook when you picked up "Plum Crazy" La Scala's. Would have saved you from trip #2 You have heard them Mark, from your very own speakers - Should I put a hold on them for you? I'll even take you for a ride in "Little Miss Sunshine"! She comes out of ICU this Friday. Will be breathing fire pumping about 500 ponies Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

"Little Miss Sunshine" has exhausted me and I am tired of eating Ramen Noodles! Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Sunday Funday bump

Interior is OK. Has seats in it from a '77. Needs some TLC as well. However, low on the to do list. Motor and exterior 1st. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Thanks Billy - yeah, she popped up and I had to pull the trigger. LMS is with my mechanic for a few weeks getting extra special treatment. She is going to come out of ICU breathing fire! Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Oh Man, and the ultra rare blue jewel What output tubes are your running? I use the Gold Lion KT88 in my T12 blocks. Congrats "woodsman" Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Yup, fresh GM Goodwrench crate 350 & T400 tranny (less than 5K miles on the build). That is the very 1st change being made. Doug's headers with the 4" collectors (black), max flow muffler inserts. - I just found a hidden goodie not mentioned in the sale. It has the rare, pop-out rear window

Hmmm? Never thought of that. Yes, just a little "wallwort". Will scrounge around to see if I can find another to try

Yes, that is correct. My wireless "network" for my internet connection then from the laptop to stereo via the NAD transmitter/receiver/DAC. If I hook my laptop directly (using onboard DAC) it sounds much better than the NAD. Just seems odd to me that the SQ has diminished with the NAD? I like having the laptop close to change my music without having to go to the rig. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

My computer sits near my listening position and I use an NAD DAC1 to shoot the signal to a DAC receiver at my rig. In the beginning it sounded very nice. However, over time it seems the sound quality has began to deteriorate. I know it is the DAC because I have made comparisons with and without NAD unit as source. Don't want to spend the money on the NAD DAC2 with the fear it may ultimately succumb to the same demise. Any suggestions for alternative wireless DAC? Thanks, Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

LOL - "La Stingray"

A childhood dream, materialized She is not without imperfection. However, for me "LMS" is perfect! So excited! Can;t wait to get this baby on the road. Next stop, DMV Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

just pick up a pair off eBay, $22 shipped Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

It has been brought to my attention by a few others that there may be some misunderstanding in my reason for putting these prized possessions up for sale. The number one and ONLY reason for the sale is to help fund my child hood dream of a classic 1972 Corvette Roadster. The incredible Tool Shed amps are not the only items being sacrificed. Next on the block are my much loved Cherry La Scala's. The Chorus will likely be brought into duty along with a Yamaha A-S500 integrated. This will get me by until I can begin rebuilding my 2 channel system back to its current state, once the car is attained. I am hard working blue collar and this will be the largest cash layout I have ever attempted. No loans on this one. It is not just my audio equipment heading to the sale barn. I am an avid Mountain Biker as well. It is a form of mental therapy to me (white knuckle therapy). Taking a huge hit on my $5K carbon fiber mountain bike as well (link below). http://www.ebay.com/itm/182259415004?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Just to be clear, I am not unhappy with the Tool Shed Audio gear. It is amazing!!! What has taken place is a sudden change in my priorities. I eat, sleep and breath dreaming of the soon to arrive 1972 Corvette now. Pulling out all stops! What ever it takes to get my baby into the driveway. You can be confident in TS Matt's builds. In a word, STUNNING!!! I am wacko for letting them go... Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Well aren't those just darn cute
