has your friend had those LS posted on CL? seems like I've drooled over seen them listed there. maybe another pair similar to them.

I think I'd be rocking the s#!+ outta them , but that's just me

I saw those LS and was impressed with apparent condition, not to mention the price. there are another pair posted several hours closer to me, for more $ and don't look to be in near as good a shape as those linked. if I were closer, had just a little more spare cash in the audio fund...

that's awesome sir. what a tremendous pleasure & blessing it must be/have been to be a part of all that. I can feel how proud of that you are

Jason - very nice work. congrats. great looking pair of speakers

I understand completely . thanks Dave

would you ever consider using a sander of any kind? or is there a fear that a power sander would take off too much too quickly, and then we know where you are - no man's land.

the hate coming from the pain involved, sanding by hand, etc.?

I agree with JW - Matt, those are pretty much works of art! maybe one day when I have more flex time, I can try my hand at a project like that. I think I'd enjoy doing it, especially if the finished product is something like yours, or even in the ballpark. great work sir.

Excuses , excuses

James , you just need to go ahead and do it . this one and the NASCAR simulator too . you would really have quite the place then

Watching my Auburn Tigers against U of Ga . Auburn doing good , not as well as I would like though .

all of them? as much as your black AmEx can take?

sure

yeah James, they do look great. great job on the restoration Jim, and GLWS. (you know, maybe it's a good thing for my budget that I can't be everywhere

I'm not sure they're that great a deal. they look nice enough in the only pics posted. would have to see more to decide if they're worth that to me. probably a decent buy I guess.

I saw this thread, and just had to look. listed on the Specials page at klipsch.com - and when I read the prices - wow! just, WOW! looks like some crazy good deals on these!

I agree with all that. sounds like you guys have been around the block a time or 2. one point of caution though, re RAID 5 striping with parity, maybe striping with or without parity - it's been too long, I'm at the office "working" , and haven't looked it up. anyway, re this: there is what I'll call a point of no return - meaning: if you lose 1 drive, data is still intact - due to data being striped across all disks in the set. but if you lose more than <whatever allowable threshold>, and that could be any more than just ONE DISK - your fault tolerance (for backup & restore) and maybe your WHOLE DATA SET could be gone. G O N E !!! now I don't want to be an alarmist, but offer this to try & help, with the recommendation to do your due diligence of research before & during setup so you're not caught unawares. hope you understand. and again, good luck.

I've not setup a NAS, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night. I'm a diamond level guy with the Hilton chain, so I don't do much over there. anyway, I would think that there is some kind of disk management app that either comes with the NAS, embedded on it, or recommended to use for it. I would think either take OldRed's approach, or maybe try to join together 2 pairs of disks as 2 volumes of 2 disks each, and RAID or mirror one volume to the other. I think it would be worth the time taken at the beginning before you start test ripping to look at how you want to manage the NAS, and get that setup how you like it before you move on to the next step of the process. because if you want to change disk setup mid-stream, well, I think you know what that could entail... good luck with your project. post updates on what you decide & how it goes.

excellent. thanks Mike

agree with the principle. if you've ever moved, you know how to do it. extra blankets are kinda like cheap insurance. and also, it's kinda like an umbrella - won't need it until you don't have it; if you take it, you won't need it kind of thing. and don't under-estimate room required to move them, in sizing a vehicle. (if you underestimate it & need more room... oh it can be ugly. been there & done that) I haven't had to load, move, pad anything like Khorns in many many years, but when I was in my twenties, I did drive a moving truck for about 5 yrs. so that's where I'm coming from. good luck in your project

is there such a thing as the Tarheel melon festival? Google? Siri? somebody - help!

wow. that's awesome

wow. I'm sure you were just... almost beyond worn out. and yes - yay! to the waking up part. glad to hear doing better today. that's great!

dtel - me too. the 162 game season is too much for me. not that I'm getting old, bore more easily, or anything like that. I've always enjoyed the sport, especially the post season. game last night was surely one of the best I've seen in a while. on a related note - I read back about 10 pages this thread of posts during the game last night, and saw where Dave seemed to be having some issues. I looked at who's online so far today, and he was not on the list. @Mallette - hope you're doing better today, and have things under control.
