  1. I know a lot of guys using these as LCR behind AT screens in mid to large HT spaces. These are true cinema series. The manufacturer supplies tons of free information on their products, including these. Want free software for you planning and design? Got that. Need tech sheets? Got you covered. Want polar plots? All there.

    let's try some solid silver...

     

     

    Finally cash in some of those solid silver bars you've collected? Interested to learn what difference you hear.

     

    I just got these today for my rig. Stage worthy stuff from the same manufacturer as Pro-co, Rapco etc..

    Getting the associated 95LB amplifier moved into my custom built wood rack is the only real concern. Only 3.5" clearance and not wanting a single scratch on either the rack or the amp. Working alone / without handles.

    The beginnings of a new rig for my jazz bass.

    Two of these 4x10 cabs and a 100 watt tube head.

    That looks like the bottom of my sofa.

  4. Time has little effect on wood finishing techniques. Resin derived from Indian Lac bugs has been used for 1000's of years. Waxes have been used for many 100's. No need to reinvent the wheel. I understand the desire of audiophiles to always chase the dragon, but wood is wood. When it comes to wood finishing, encouraging others to deviate from the status quo just isn't being very helpful.

  5. 47 more added today. I need to put together an accurate count and a full list, but I'm up to about 175 original theatrical posters covering the past 50 years. No fakes, all from solid sources to ensure authenticity. Only started collecting them this month. Pretty good start though.

    Billy, 

    I'm not much on hanging around a place where my comments have to be approved before they can post. It's not very welcoming, I'm sure potential new members appreciate the censorship as much as the current members. And there are plenty of causes I can donate money to, I direct mine to a select few.

     

    Mark

    Send me a PM with your contact info and where you hang out at. We can still be friends.

    Do drivers "age" with time and does the sound change with age. .. Are drivers good or no good (binary) or they gradually degrade over say 10 years.

    Driving age in the state of Wisconsin is 18. Probationary driving is allowed at 16 with restrictions. For most, the way they sound remains the same, unless they are very young or very old. Drivers are usually not good until they have some years of experience, but gradually, they do get better. Age is beneficial for most drivers though.

  8. Water will raise the grain (tiny wood fibers stand up), so stay away from using water-based for cleaning. There's nothing wrong with adding a water-based wood finish product. Non-yellowing. Dries fast and clear. Ultra low sheen. Just prep correctly. Then you can clean them with a damp cloth, murphy oil soap, etc.

  9. What kind of WOKE censorship cancel culture crap did I just witness here now? HERE! Now I can't even talk about the music or movies I use my Klipsch speakers to listen to? Sorry, I thought that's what speakers were made for. What about the names of films? Can I even speak here about some of their tongue-in-cheek titles? 

     

    Really, I'm on another international forum with over 100,000 members, and there is ample opportunity there for these type of discussions. Cancel culture, censorship, and editing is something discussed on that site daily.  There are literally tens of thousands of covers posted for anyone to see and discuss. It's called art. It exists. Stop destroying it.

    IMHO, if you lose a 'friend' because of a post, then that person wasn't a friend. I don't agree with some things posted, but that doesn't change me or how I feel about the person who posted it, why should it? I like to learn, and to do so, I have to take in what I don't already know, regardless if I agree. The sobering cycle is that the more I learn, the more I find that I don't know. 

     

    Whoa! 👐 You took me all wrong. In my post I was referring to many of my forum friends who posted something that resulted in their sudden and immediate dismissal. 🚫 Not the meaning as you took it, being something in a post causing me to lose friendship.

     

    I was talking about real meaningful friendships being stripped away, and what I'm doing to find a cure from suffering more of those kind of losses.
