    No, left them several years ago when they doubled our auto and house rates with no claims but the kids started driving. I use an independent broker out of Katy, Tx. She was able to cut the auto premiums in half while vastly reducing deductible on windstorm. Might be worthwhile to check back with them. Wouldn't mind the photos so much except I don't close for a couple of weeks and it's a hassle working the two agents / seller.

    Interesting side note is that when I removed the x Ms. Mike and her van from my policy the premium went up. I think, but need to verify, that it was because my agent had the kids driving the mom-mobile van and without it they are now in their own cars. Too much to compute at the moment; will check USAA when crap stabilizes.

    I am pizzed that my current company offered a 6 month severance with the WARN Act upon my retirement until they were informed that the successor company made me an offer. Working to use vacation for 2 days in order to get full annual employee incentive bonus. If I leave on 31 Dec I get rated as achieved expectations if I leave after 1 Jan I get bonus based on my significantly exceeded all expectations.....not a trivial amount as the difference pays for the Jubilees.

    Excuse the frank question, but is your job a federal gov job or a state gov job by chance?

    Speaker Recommendation, Please

    just get Powered speakers and save yourself a lot of trouble ----

    Ha, my thoughts exactly. After drinking some infused water to hydrate after all that flexing, maybe think about the in wall installation missed opportunities before getting back to esthetics over quality. Good luck.

    It had buy it now option at $125 and $25 shipping. I’m guessing someone scooped it up. Easy come easy go. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I’d look for a model that can be controlled by the AV Controller App and has HDMI switching. At the $500 range or under, I would think you could find something in the AVENTAGE line, which I highly recommend.

    Full disclosure: I’m a Yamaha guy. I’m always happy with them. That being said, there’s a “mint” rated one with all accessories on eBay for much less. Not sure your location.

    Bikers, Ever Ridden a Bike That Scared You?

    The motor was still great and not smoking when I got it. No wonder it sold quickly. Only did 90 on this one. Cool

    Mine eventually had something brake in the engine’s bottom end. Sold it after moving it a few times. I was hoping to repair it. Realized I was never going to get to it. I was on a Suzuki Katana 600 for many years while I still had the Honda.

    This a photo of a CX 500 that buyer of my Honda Silver Wing stocker was after, or similar brat project. Notice the transverse cylinder head. Scary:

    1978 Honda CX-500 was my first bike. I road it for 30 plus years. Liquid cooled and shaft drive. First bike I did over 100 mph on.

    What Is That Klipsch Speaker?

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    Lol, cause the Heresy on the right looks like a definite Heresy. What else could the other one on the left be if not a Heresy?
    Have that brochure out in my car.
    If were to open it, would expect to find an answer. It is not that I am right all the time. Just finally got one right, according to Terry, who, if one were to believe, confirmed it. Purely logical.
    Having seen his avatar, which is familiar to me, would guess that he posts here seldom am thinking.
    Suppose he only happened to see this topic. I do not know him personally, no more than I know you. Besides, it appears you have, or had, the answer before you. 
    Wishing now you had chimed in before me. Anything beyond, please ask... thanks.

    What? Seriously.

    In the mid 80’s I worked at a printing company in Little Rock AR that did all the printing, ads and brochures for Klipsch. I remember this booklet. And yes that is just another Hersey with a cane grill.

    Again, why assume he means that one?

    Can I get Klipschorns in my Lexus GX460?

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    I moved 2 Klipschorns with tops taken off in a Chrysler Town n Country minivan with a reported 140 sq feet max cargo area. I had the 4 pieces laying flat.Yes, there was space above everything, but i was pretty full. Check the cargo space on your vehicle. I can give you dimensions of each Klipschorn piece if needed.

    Play the POLICE under the record sleeve , got all records from them and the Solo´s from Sting .......

    It’s there because it was recently played. I say to you, expand your horizons and listen to some Jack Johnson.
