I actually had to think through the song... 🙄 But the thought reminded me of the new Luke Combs song 'Out where the wild things are'

Would you run out and buy a pair?

We were just one block north of North Parkway, about straight up from the zoo, and a couple blocks west of Southwestern at Memphis now Rhodes College). My late wife attended school there. Overton Park was great, and citizens managed to keep I-40 from going straight through town.

Mine came without tags on the back. Can't remember now, but I removed a woofer and found a dated inspection sticker inside. Maybe if I was younger, I could remember the date. i'll open one up again.

Ah... I moved in 1980. Used to live in Midtown, just a few blocks from the zoo. At the time it was a nice quiet neighborhood. I worked at WHBQ, when it was still an ABC affiliate. I liked it then and never felt unsafe. Lots of nice small music bars to visit (or play at). Beale St was still termite filled empty buildings, other than Schwab's Dept. Store.

That I don't know. I thought the mdf ones were all just glued together. You have to access mine through the woofer cutout. Mine are black, I think black lacquer.

I'm feeling pretty good. I'll be glad when the androgen blocker shot finally wears off. I've probably got a few more months to go with that. Motivation is shot right now. I have lots of projects started and nothing finished.

Only had a cup and a half so far. And I just noticed it's 1:00pm.

My Heresy IIs have the square/rectangular crossovers, so yours were probably what some call the Heresy 1.5. Were yours still the plywood? Mine are veneered MDF.

I'm hoping that I last longer than me.

You don't have a cutoff at the street? I can shut mine off at the meter, here.

Well, to be fair here, he says he worked 'with the Altec VOTT' not 'at Altec', but the VOTT covers about 15 different models. Different ones were 'the Big Boys'.

Almost! That uses a different woofer and isn't ported.

And Wendy (Walter) Carlos used Cornwalls hanging from chains in her studio. That means nothing. For a while certain engineers/producers liked Yamaha NS10s, too.

It wasn't officially, it was marketed as a 'home' speaker. I believe the old guys at the lansingheritage site over HIFI Engine. Are you done muddying the waters yet? They were a great speaker, a coworker of mine had a pair or them in the mid '70s. I still remember them.

The Model 19 wasn't a studio monitor, but a prettied up version of the Voice of the Theater 1216A. They both came with the 416 woofer and 811B horn. The Model 19 used an upgraded driver.

When we're you in Memphis? I was there 1975-80.

He says they're black, but the pics look like oiled oak. Hilarious copy though.

Banjo player Bela Fleck, simply incredible. He has recorded Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Incredibly complex, he doesn't read music (well).

Here are a couple more crazy pics.

I think in the videos I watched, they said the maple was a bit heavier. They said with what they have done has allowed more sustain as well as greater volume. They are using lasers to do the cutting so they can be more precise, and they are still strong. It's not like they are switching everything to that kind of bracing, but having a few models out there will be a good test drive for sure.

Why? Give me your thoughts

I think he may have one of those, too. He has a garage full of autos.

New Martin guitar has laser cut skeletonized bracing. https://www.martinguitar.com/series-inception.html
