  1.  The first picture is one of my sons rooms,

    set of 2.1  up on the shelf. Notice how I'm careful with the camera Imangle not to show their dirty rooms as much. Also, he is 17 that bottle of J&B is purely for aesthetics he liked the giant bottle.  The old bar top video game he bought off craigslist for $10 and just installed 7000 arcade classics on it with a raspberry pi . Not sure where he's putting it but it's not going to stay on his desk. Trying to get the others to load but it says they are bigger than 2 MB for some reason

    Ha, my work firewall blocked it as adult material.  Guess I'll have to check it out on my phone.

     I have to admit the website does have some questionable content I would not allow my teens on it .

    Many folks in audio/video land, including some on this forum, do not really understand dynamics so they dismiss the idea of outboard amplification as just a way to play music/movies louder.  Adding quality outboard amplification is so much more than that.

     

    I am clearly in the outboard amplifier camp.:wub:

     I agree Bill, when I switched from running my system with my Yamaha Aventage The sound just became so much more full and Rich and I noticed subtle nuances in music and movies that I had never heard before. I'm sure there are many more adjectives I could use but  bottom line is I would never go back to just an AVR even though I know many people on the forum disagree.

  4. One day while walking through the countryside a poor Russian peasant discovered an old lamp. He started to polish it and out came a genie who told him that for freeing him from the lamp he would grant him one wish.

    Ivan thought for a minute before declaring, "I am a poor simple man with simple needs, therefore I wish that Ivan pee vodka!" The Genie exclaimed that Ivan's wish was granted and disappeared in a poof of smoke.

    Ivan runs home and bursts through the door yelling, "Wife, bring two cups, tonight we drink vodka!!!" He pees in the cups and sure enough, it's the best vodka either had ever tasted. They drink into the wee hours of the morning.

    The next night he comes through the door and again hollers, "Wife, bring two cups, tonight we drink vodka!!!" This continues all week until Friday night when Ivan comes in the door and exclaims, "Wife, bring me one cup!!!"

    His wife is upset and asks, "Ivan, all week you say bring two cups and we drink vodka, so why tonight do you only ask for one cup?"

     

     

     

     



    Ivan smiles and replies, "Because tonight wife, you drink from bottle

    These are well built beasts and the price is good.  I have owned several B&K pieces over the years and they have performed flawlessly.

     I could not agree more with Bill,  I run a 7  Channel HT in which the front soundstage consists of three RF 7ii  with a B and K 200.7 . 

     I've even heard that they run hot so I bought a recommended electronics fan( i'm sure there's a more technical term I am unaware of)for the top to exhaust the heat but I have rarely had to use them.   I bought mine used from a for a member in Florida also, #Youthman. he packaged the unit up like a tank and sent it up to St. Louis and it's been pushing my system to ear bleeding levels(when called for)ever since:)

     

     

  6. I am DIGGIN' "the fifteens" !!!

     Can't bring myself to look at the RF/7iii's

     Mainly because I can't I afford to switch out my set up till my last four are graduated and out of the house. At this rate  I need to practice saying, "Cmon RF-7 v7"!!

     In all seriousness, some really  Beautiful looking stuff for CES 2017

    Not anymore Timdog traded a rc-64ii for one of them. That way time could have awesome LCR setup and opus had an easier setup to sell as a whole. 

    ....and he lived happily ever after. 

    REALLY great move!  Glad I took everyone's advice.  appreciate  that opus worked with me also.

  8. A ventriloquist cowboy walked into town and saw a rancher sitting on his porch with his dog.

    Cowboy: “Hey, cool dog. Mind if I speak to him?”
    Rancher: “This dog don’t talk!”
    Cowboy: “Hey dog, how’s it going?”
    Dog: “Doin alright”
    Rancher: (Extreme look of shock)
    Cowboy: “Is this your owner? (pointing at rancher)”
    Dog: “Yep.”
    Cowboy: “How’s he treat you?”
    Dog: “Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and takes me to the lake once a week to play.”
    Rancher: (Look of disbelief)

    Cowboy: “Mind if I talk to your horse?”
    Rancher: “Horses don’t talk!”
    Cowboy: “Hey horse, how’s it goin?”
    Horse: “Cool.”
    Rancher: (an even wilder look of shock)
    Cowboy: “Is this your owner?” (pointing at rancher)
    Horse: “Yep.”
    Cowboy: “How’s he treat you?”
    Horse: “Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often, and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements.”
    Rancher: (total look of amazement)

    Cowboy: “Mind if I talk to your SHEEP?”

    Rancher: “Them sheep ain’t nothing but a bunch of damned liars!!!

  9. The big game hunter walked in the bar and bragged to everyone about his hunting skills. The man was undoubtedly a good shot and no one could dispute that. But then he said that they could blindfold him and he would recognize any animal's skin from its feel, and if he could locate the bullet hole he would even tell them what calibre the bullet was that killed the animal. The hunter said that he was willing to prove it if they would put up the drinks, and so the bet was on. They blindfolded him carefully and took him to his first animal skin. After feeling it for a few moments, he announced "Bear." Then he felt the bullet hole and declared, "Shot with a .308 rifle." He was right. They brought him another skin, one that someone had in their car trunk. He took a bit longer this time and then said, "Elk, Shot with a 7mm Mag rifle. He was right again. Through the night, he proved his skills again and again, every time against a round of drinks. Finally he staggered home, drunk out of his mind,and went to sleep. The next morning he got up and saw in the mirror that he had one hell of a shiner. He said to his wife, "I know I was drunk last night, but not drunk enough to get in a fight and not remember it. Where did I get this blackeye?" His wife angrily replied, "I gave it to you. You got into bed and put your hand down my panties. Then you fiddled around a bit and loudly announced, "Skunk, killed with an axe."

    You should jump on that Timdog, I've seen the surround speakers alone sell for his asking price.

     I texted him as soon as I seen it to at least try to get first in line, I have alerts set for St. Louis craigslist for Klipsch speakers I have no idea why I did not get it three days ago it when it was posted.  I would've gotten them for just resale although opus did tell me  how much he loved his.
