Iggy Pop several times.

Enjoyed EV Interface Cs during the 80s, they were the best speakers I had owned up to that point. I currently enjoy a pair of Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s as front mains. Detailed, accurate and work very well with my current living space. Down the road...LaScalas or something from the Palladium series.

Thank you kindly. We are mountain time here so it will be 6 o’oclock our time.

My wife has been trying to find when the closing ceremony replay will be on TV. Anyone know.

Shame about the curling, Koe is one of my board members sons. He flew over from YK to watch live. Fourth in the world is pretty damn good for a local northern boy.We were pulling for him.

It has been tougher watching the games this time because of the time difference. Not a great year for the Canadian teams. Next time...

Had never heard of the Audio Uccello before this. I googled them up for a look. Gorgeous looking speaker and seems to be very similar conceptualy to the LaScala. The wooden horns are interesting.

That in fact may the real reason. If sales are slower and something else with higher margins is selling better...

I was an early adopter (83 or 84), and continue to buy CDs.

I was very impressed. Haven’t felt this way about a launch for decades. This really looks like a great step forward.

Very unfortunate news. I got my motorcycle license later in life at 54 (2016). Trained during the summer on a friend’s old 883 Sportster and intermittently on his Yamaha enduro. The Harley’s were a bit rich for my blood and more importantly the wife’s approval. Picked up a very clean low kilometer Yamaha V Star 650. Perfect size bike for around town. Getting the urge for an adventure style bike which are great for our local conditions.

Have been driving a Jeep JK for years.

It is incredible how long they last. You would you think after millions of vibrations over the years they would crumble to dust.

I’ll look for it on Netflix and get started.

We have been curious about jumping into this series, your endorsement is the finger on the scale. We will begin this weekend.

Generations change as do tastes. If I was young and didn’t know better, I wouldn’t invest big money and time to listen to disposable crap. Name a Grammy winner from 2011. The music itself has become so Balkanized there is no common listening culture. Everyone doing their own thing by themselves. Music and serious listening seem to be going the way of the dodo. This may explain the rise of the crazy expensive boutique brands featured in Stereophile. If the segmented market that has enough money and interest exists, your business model will change to sell a thousand pairs of 30k speakers rather than risk fabricating and trying to sell 50k 1k speakers ( or whatever component), with ultra skinny margins. Next thing you know, blue tooth speakers are good enough.

Insurance companies are one of the few businesses that treat you worse the longer you are with them. Good to change companies occasionally.

Nice taxidermy as well. Now that’s a man cave.

This has been going on for along time. Up until relatively recently even a modest system was required for listening to music at all, regardless of how important or unimportant it was to you. We now have a new generation who live through their phones and ear buds or headphones. What is being listened to also has an impact. I and many others here listen to albums. Most of my young coworkers listen to singles and purchase individual songs. There is a big difference. Thier music is background and good enough for them. They don’t see the value of a physical system that actually takes up living room real estate. I think HT was a fad that many jumped up on and moved away from except for the hobbiest. I think the death of the video rental helped pull the legs out from the HT phenomenon. There are a lot of DVD and Blue Ray players out there collecting dust. A movie download just seems like enhanced cable, so it is “just” TV. Therefore a sound bar at most is good enough.

Congratulations, they look fantastic in your room. They are THE heritage speaker I hope to have someday.

A very lobsided game. The quarterback Foley seems to be on fire. Watched the first game across the street at my local. Watching the final quarter of the second fixture at home.

This may be a good sign for the hobby. Quite a few of the mellenials are on a retro turntable path. Would be nice to see this generation step away from their phones and little blue tooth speakers and get into proper full sized stereos.

Right on, glad you liked them. I’m no psychic ( would have rigged a lottery number by now), but I like to consider myself pragmatic and frugal - although my wife translates that as cheap. A nice sounding system in hand is worth two in the bush. You have something you can enjoy now, whilst planning for the future. A half decent AVR will also take care of your two channel music enjoyment during the planning stages. I would consider this acquisition a victory for both yourself and your family.

I have never heard Infinity towers. I do have a very nice Infinity system in my Jeep that I really like.
