Awesome video Mike! If that was me, it would be a 4:11 lesson in how to snap both femurs while watching at least one arm being wrapped around a head and left useless. Oh, and I confess, those really weren't my friends in "my" video. Ron

Awesome!!

In this one, you might recognize the keyboard player........ Ron

Walk. Ron

I actually tried mine on a hula-hoop with some friends. Just posted it on YouTube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHbk92G655k#t=54 Ron

Beautiful room. Beautiful speakers. Ron

Have you seen a video lately (preferably music) that just made you go WHOA?? I know that a lot of you guys here grew up listening to the same music and videos were kinda rare or not easily seen back in our day. I recently started looking on Youtube for older videos and have seen some wild or unexpected stuff. I'll start this thread out: This one, EVERYBODY has heard. Most of you probably can even name the artist but I'll bet that you haven't seen the video. A couple of things are bizarre; It ISN'T lip-synced. The guy is playing the piano live. He does have backing music but the majority is live. Also, the wardrobes from the early 70's were unique. And when is the last time you saw a video where the singer almost lost a tooth? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsezr0qiFIc Ron

Picked them up Wednesday from freight terminal. Haven't had a chance to open them yet but at least the boxes are in perfect shape. Transaction and communication went perfectly smoothly. FYI,the ad says fast and free shipping. These are shipped by freight carrier not Fedex or Ups so ignore that estimated arrival date. Also they don't deliver to residential address for free. I have a truck so I had him ship to the closest freight terminal, of which there are a bunch close by. Glad to hear that you got them. Let us know when you fire em up. Ron

Did you ever get your speaks? Let us know how it went. Ron

This is cool. Hope it isn't a repost... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odJxJRAxdFU&app=desktop Ron

Absolutely changed the game. Before that play, FSU looked clueless Ron

You can pretty much point to one play in this one, and it wasn't a TD: The fake punt that gave FSU the first down turned the momentum in FSU's favor just long enough to score their first TD. After that it was back and forth. Without that play I don't know if the Criminoles EVER get things going. Auburn did its best to help FSU in the second half by giving up big play after big play. My question to every FSU fan who comes up to me during the next year is, "What are the odds that you would be undefeated if you had to face about 7 SEC teams during the year, instead of the usual 1 or 2"? They did what they needed to do to win so they deserve it, but I am a whole lot less impressed with Winston than I was before the game. The guy is easily rattled. The problem is Auburn stopped blitzing him and that is when he started to roll. To me FSU didn't win this game, Auburn just lost it. Ron

My brother is there. He is a Gator fan but loves big games. Decked out in Gator colors, he fits in great with the Auburn crowd. It appears that Auburn is having its way with FSU. Lotta ball to play tho. Ron

Prices all appear to be fair. You should have no problem. I would also like to get in the line to hear what blu-rays that you might sell.. You have more restraint than I do. I would have tried to keep it all!!!! Ron

This pick kinda ticks me off. My Gators decide to keep a lame coach instead of getting Strong back. But I will say that I have just about had it with defensive head coaches. He did a fine job when he was at Florida, but made some unsavory remarks about the school when he left. Probably why he was 166th on the list of new coaches for Florida this year...... you know what they say about burning bridges..... Ron

If they announce that the "Sheriff is near", let's hope there isn't a bell ringing in the background! Ron

Am I the only one here who is wondering.......... Exactly what did you get that ISN'T on the list????? Spill the beans. We know that you cherry picked and ended up with some primo gear. Ron

Thanks for the info guys. I am probably going to wait for the equipment that I will use in my HT. As much as I want to really let these speaks breathe, I don't want to just buy something that may not work out. There's no real way for me to test this amp with my 83's so I think I will hold off for now. Thanks for all of the advice, Ron

Just saw this on the news this morning. RIP Phil. Ron

Thanks for the info. Fan noise will NOT be a problem. I am buying this amp to give me a chance to open up these speakers before they go into the HT. I'm talking about Pink Floyd, Three Days Grace, Disturbed, and anything else that I want to turn up. The way I see it, if I can hear the fan then I am doing something wrong Ron

The idea is that if you keep bidding on something, some other clown will do the same and one of you will pay more than you need to. If the OTHER clown has no time to respond, well, that's the idea behind the snipe. I have saved TONS of money by sniping. I've even had others contact me and ask what I was using. Ron

This is the info on this amp: Designed as a cost-effective solution specifically for sound contractors, the ISA Series features seven models including four low impedance models (ISA 280, ISA 450, ISA 750) rated for 2-ohm operation, and three "Ti" versions with isolated 25, 70 and 100 volt outputs for distributed audio systems (ISA 300Ti, ISA 500Ti, ISA 800Ti). Versatile loading options and a comprehensive feature set make the ISA Series a rugged, cost-effective power solution for any permanently installed sound system. Unique among distributed sound power amplifiers, the "Ti" versions will drive 8- or 4-ohm loads and a distributed system on the same channel simultaneously. This enables a contractor to reduce the number of required amplifier channels by allowing a limited number of distributed speakers to be attached to the same amp as is powering the main sound system. Housed in a rugged 3-U chassis, all seven models feature rear panel gain controls for tamper resistant operation with 2 dB detents for quick and repeatable settings. Inputs include both XLR and detachable Euro-style connectors. Outputs feature covered barrier strip connectors for safety agency compliance, and for added versatility, a DataPort V2 (Version 2) terminated with an HD-15 connector is provided for use with DPV2-compatible signal processing accessories such as the XC-3 Crossover, SF-3 Subwoofer Filter, LF-3 Low Frequency Filter and the DSP-3 with external power supply. Selectable high-pass filters are included to protect speakers and prevent speaker transformer saturation with minimal effect on program material. The ISA Series provide additional protection circuitry including DC, infrasonic, thermal overload, RF and short circuit protection. On the ISA 750 and ISA 800Ti, class H complementary bipolar output circuitry increases system efficiency by reducing AC power draw and waste heat by 40%. Cooling is accomplished via an automatic variable speed fan, which pulls air from back to front. Features: Four models for low-impedance applications Three "Ti" versions include low-impedance and isolated 25, 70, and 100 volt outputs for distributed audio systems Rear panel gain controls for tamper resistant operation with 2 dB detents for quick and repeatable settings XLR and detachable Euro style input connectors DataPort V2 for use with DPV2-compatible signal processing accessories (XC-3, SF-3, LF-3) and DSP-3/DSP-4 (with external power supply) Independent defeatable clip limiters for reduced distortion Selectable high-pass filters protect speakers and prevent speaker transformer saturation with minimal effect on program material (30 Hz or 70 Hz on non-"Ti" models, 50 Hz or 75 Hz on "Ti" models) Front panel indicators include power, signal, and clip Covered barrier strip output connectors for safety agency compliance Automatic variable-speed fan for quiet normal operation with maximum cooling on demand Rear-to-front air flow keeps equipment racks cool Stereo, Bridge, or Parallel operating modes Comprehensive protection circuitry including DC, infrasonic, thermal overload and short circuit protection 3-year warranty plus optional 3-year extended service contract Specifications: 8 ohms 20Hz-20kHz 0.1% THD: 185W 4 ohms 20Hz-20kHz 0.1% THD: 280W 2 ohms 1kHz 1% THD: 430W 70V or 100V 50Hz-16kHz 0.5% THD: 300W 25V 50Hz-16kHz 0.5% THD: 200W Bridged Mono 8 ohms 1kHz 0.1% THD: 600W Bridged Mono 4 ohms 1kHz 1% THD: 830W 140V or 200V 50 Hz-16kHz 0.5% THD: 600W Signal to Noise (20Hz-20kHz): 100 dB Distortion (SMPTE-IM): < 0.01% Input Sensitivity @ 8 ohms: 1.15v (+3.4 dBu) Voltage Gain @ 8 ohms: 33.4x (30.5 dB) Output Circuitry: Class AB Distortion (Typical): * 20 Hz-20 kHz: 10 dB below rated power: Less than 0.03% THD, 4 ohms and 8 ohms * 1.0 kHz and below: full rated power: Less than 0.03% THD, 4 ohms and 8 ohms Frequency Response, 10dB below rated output power: 20Hz-20kHz, +0/-1dB, -3 dB points: 5 Hz + 50 Hz Damping Factor (Direct Outputs): > 250 @ 8 ohms Output Regulation: < 1.5 dB Input Impedance: 10 k ohms unbalanced, 20 k ohms balanced Input Clipping: 10 Vrms (+22 dBu) Cooling: Continuously variable speed fan, back-to-front air flow Connectors, each channel: * Input: Active balanced; 3-pin Euro-style detachable terminal block and XLR (pin 2+) * Output: Covered barrier strips * DataPort V2: HD-15 connector Controls: * Front: AC switch * Rear: Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 gain knobs, 10-position DIP switch Indicators: PWR-ON Green LED, SIGNAL Green LED (1 per channel), CLIP Red LED (1 per channel) Amplifier Protection: Full short circuit, open circuit, thermal, ultrasonic, and RF protection; Stable into reactive or mismatched loads Power Requirements: 120, 230, VAC, 50-60 Hz Load Protection: On/off muting; Triac crowbar: ISA 750 Rack-mount size: 3 RU Dimensions: 19" x 5.25" x 15.9" (48.3 x 13.3 x 40 cm) Weight: 44 lbs.

No. ALL feedback is requested This is kinda what I am dealing with now. I don't have my HT yet, so no need to buy the 3 channel just yet. I am pretty set on an Acurus or a Parasound when that time comes. Until then, the Denon just isn't cutting it for the 83's. I would like to really enjoy them (translation, turn them up loud) occasionally until they go into the HT. I'm just not feeling the love right now and it is probably because of a lack of headroom, I don't know. What I do know is that I have had these 83's for over a month now and would really like to take them for a spin. For now, $100 would be well worth it if I could make it work. Any and all feedback or opinions are greatly appreciated. Ron

I've been using Bidnip for years. Very reliable and only $.25 per bid. If no win, no pay Ron

Thanks. When I do decide to buy a nicer amp I want to get one that I can run all 5 HT channels at about 200 each channel. But...... PM sent. Ron
