Parrot

Is this a polite way of saying, Get a life.

I recommend that you also consider my music guru (and only 15 mins away) Mark's picks. He started a webpage recently with his basic orchestral repertory suggestions. http://home.earthlink.net/~m9a9r9k/ He's got them broken down into major periods. So for St.-Saens, for example, you'd find him under the Romantic category, and Mark's recommendations are Saint-Saëns, Charles Camille Symphony No. 3 in c minor, "Organ" First Choice: Charles Dutoit/OSM (Decca) Close Second: James Levine/BPO (DG) Historical Choice: Paul Paray/DSO (Mercury) SACD Choice: Charles Munch/BSO (RCA) Connoisseur's Choice: Christoph Eschenbach/Bamberg SO (Eurodisc) To Be Avoided: Arturo Toscanini/NBCSO (RCA) (The Toscanini performance is vital, but the cheesy electric organ just ruins it for me.) To Be Avoided: Herbert von Karajan/BPO (DG) (Karajan's recording is a bombastic snoozefest.) To Be Avoided: Leonard Bernstein/NYP (CBS) (Bernstein's is like Karajan's, only moreso.)

"Payment: Money transfer." Very suspect. The only money transfer I'd do is cash and carry. And, yes, even one little parrot can move a pair of Klipschorns by himself. eBay IDs are stolen right and left nowadays, so you just never know. These IDs are stolen from the phishing emails everybody gets. Update: definite fraud. If you copy the auction number and go to ebay.com, this will come up: Martin D35 1995 30th Anniversary Issue How did you get this auction?

We don't mind you voicing opinions as long as you don't do any of that other stuff.

Edster sold his rosewood Khorns when he moved into smaller digs. He may not be interested in Klipsch anymore?

I never kid. I think thermalup was mostly mad at dtel's wife and Michael Hurd. And you of course. Your newly hired CEO, Michael Colter, tried to get thermalup to pipe down, but it didn't work. Like I said, it was interesting enough but too coarse to be a classic meltdown. The thread should still exist, actually, we just can't view it, so if you really want access to it, you could get to it through contacting the powers-that-be.

I'm not the webmaster, not yet anyway, but I'll answer. Yes, individual posts can be deleted out of a thread. When an entire thread is deleted, it is usually because it is quick and easy to do it all at once but time-consuming to read a multi-page thread and make judgment calls. The other reason is a moderator decision that the entire thread is not relevant to Klipsch.

It wasn't witty enough to be a classic or anything, but it was kind of fun to see sexual insults and four-letter words thrown about. Michael, I think, enjoyed being likened to the unabomber and a sheep rustler. Dean jumped in to tell people not to respond, but to no avail. He reprinted some of the Bad Cowboy's emails, which seemed helpful, and acted like they were prosecution exhibits or something.

Well, Amy sent the thread to the cornfield this morning. But anyway, last night thermalup came in talking about buying Revel speakers or something, and how he canceled his Heresy order, and how awful the sheeple are who like Klipsch and suggested they move to France, and then he taunted dtel's wife and Michael Hurd and used some language that would make you blush, et cetera et cetera. It went on for several pages.

Bad Cowboy, I think you must have missed thermalup's meltdown last night? The Heresies he mentioned are now a moot point.

That's a great idea, IB, but we know that the Jub owners would all be tied for first place.

Interestingly enough, even thermalup removed himself last night before this morning when Amy deleted the thread. I hate to think of how PC and sterile this place would be with a committee of moderators.

I don't see any problem with your proposal, but I'll let some other Jubilee experts have their say, too. You know, that little dog of yours looks like he was made to drop down that hole in the bass bin.

Sell the company to Bose?

You can say that again. I first heard of PC around '89-'90 and it just gets worse every year. Maybe it could have been put out of its misery in '89 or '90, but I don't know how it can be eradicated now. It's just entrenched in our society. If you're into irony, one of the most politically correct TV shows is "Politically Incorrect."

Please excuse me if someone has already posted about this matter in this thread, but one problem that actually has diminished a lot is what I would term SET trolling, in which certain people wildly inflate the sonic attributes of this topology to unwary newbies, knowing that others will pop in on the subject in order to protect said innocents from making a horribly expensive mistake.

Jeff Mathews is always making fun of himself as a deaf drummer--that saved the rest of us the trouble.

Oh, come on, Amy. Are you getting complaints from drummers now that they are having their feelings hurt? Haven't you ever heard of teasing?

First pair I saw were black decorators with a black La Scala center.

Or, at least, agree with him while he's operating the controls.

Maybe they get in the way of Blueberry posts?

Yeah but don't you enjoy these free speaker design lectures? Remember, you get what you pay for.

If the efforts you undertook in making your room state of the art acoustically are something you no longer want people to know about, then I won't mention it again.

Shawn, Are you still in that room that you did all that elaborate decoupling in? Docoupling the studs from the floor and ceiling and all that. If you wouldn't mind running through it again for the kind folks here who may not have read it the first, I'm sure it would be interesting.

Talk about your thread hi-jacking! This topic sure went off-topic a few pages back.
