Mr. Clark

Pair of JBL 4430 studio monitors. They are somewhat rare. They have the JBL bi-radial horns that cut back on second harmonic distortion and fill a room with amazing, clear sound. Yes, they kind of look like cheeks. Acoustic guitar sounds particularly excellent on these speakers. Imaging is incredible. Adjustable crossovers, etc. They are in Walnut, which is very desirable. Some scratches and one dented woofer dust cap. Located in Chicago. Asking $1850.

Do I just need a sander? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@oldred, How long did it take you to strip them? Where are you located in Illinois? Are you a decent teacher? I'm not especially handy, but I'm a quick study and would love to learn to strip and stain my Chorus IIs.

After my weekend listening session, I can't help but hear Amy Winehouse in my head.

Don't paint. If I were convinced I could strip my Chorus IIs without messing it up, they'd be in walnut oil by now.

Wow! Great lists. 1. Philip Glass 2. Bill Evans 3. Sigur Ros 4. The Black Keys (I grew up in Cleveland) 5. Andrew Bird I love the classics, but I don't listen to them like I listen to the above. Sorry Coltrane and Miles missed the list.

Wow! Wish I were closer. Those will be gone in a flash! GLWS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So the lady and I saw the movie "Amy" yesterday, which documents Amy Winehouse's rise to fame and eventual death. Having never really listened to her music before seeing the movie, I was initially drawn in only because of the Rotten Tomatoes rating of the movie (98% at the time). The movie is excellent for a number of reasons. It presents the content without comment, letting home movies and interviews speak for themselves. However, what makes it really spectacular is how it weaves her music in with her personal story. Her lyrics were not just clever and her vocals were not delivered with flare. There is an emotional rawness and pain I didn't expect and her vocals land like that of a much older and more mature performer. I never knew Amy's music, but I feel like I know it much more intimately now having seen the film. I went out and bought an album. I had dismissed Amy Winehouse as a pop star junkie only to discover some incredible, raw talent that was lost too soon. Tony Bennet, at the end of the film, says she is one of the true legendary jazz singers--to be put alongside Sarah Vaughn and Ella. I plan on digging deep into her records this week, but thought I'd at least share my thoughts on the film. Regardless of experience with her music, the film stands alone as a truly remarkable music documentary. I feel that even those who might know and ultimately dislike her music might find themselves enjoying the movie. I highly recommend seeing it if you can find a way. It's playing at a number of places around here in Chicago. Cheers.

Just wondering if you ever went to get them and, if you did, your impressions?

Even with shipping, a heck of a deal!

Is that the price shipped?

I have an Ortofon Bronze. It's pretty analytical compared to the rest of the series (I have red and blue on different tables). Pairs nicely with Klipsch. Highly recommend. Blue is also a great budget cart. Bronze is quite a leap in quality though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm happy to know. I, too, think it's a great deal. Thanks for posting, Bill. Cornwall IIs are some of my favorites. I've owned and heard a lot.

I saw that. And then promptly...

These are awesome! Would love to know what movie they were in. GLWS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whaa? amazing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it's lighter, it's likely an oak. If it's got a lot of grain to see and its darker, Walnut. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you're willing to drive... you could do a lot better on the price, though. http://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/ele/5050856208.html

This photo, it would not be rounded and sticking out if they were Klipsch originals. That little overextending lip around the edge? Is that what you're talking about?

Wait which picture on the C-list ad are you looking at? And how can you tell? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Electronic Entertainment Expo. A pretty cool thing to be a part of, even if you're not into that stuff. Really cool to see what people are coming up with in video games and the like.

I've actually seen this before. Where did I find such a gem you might ask? NPR posted it on their website.
