Thanks. Was pretty happy to get all of it at home. Have done a lot of “outside” listening due to COVID.I really appreciate the span of advice here.
I also hope this isn’t one of those boat owner things where this is the second happiest day of ownership—with the first being the day you sell it to someone else.
Speakers are generational. What I mean is they tend to stand the test of time. They evolve much slower. They are all different, and they have their pluses and minuses. I envy your position.
Looking forward the pics.

A concern for the entire nation. Just look here. I know it is an older article, but just look at what we have to choose from. Astonishing.
Better have a close look at the VP as they are more likely to hold the reigns the longest.
Sorry, I forgot to add the link. Not political, just that someone has to actually be there to steer the ship.

I'm not high on Biden either. I see him in two years having to be admitted into a nursing home because his mind is gone. I think it's a legitimate concern.

After a bit of discussion, Fortés were available for $1K cash and carry. Not a scratch on them...
Before the thread dipped into 32 Hz subwoofer turbulence, I asked a question about whether anyone had a good check list for what to do with your new (but old) speakers.
I searched, but didn’t find such a list. So.... Buehler?
You had better hurry up! Most of the best stuff is gone in the first hour. Lucky for you the price is high, or all of this stuff would be long gone.
$1K is good for the NIB condition with boxes and your location. If you find a scratch, be ready to drop the price or walk.
There is not much you can do while at the sellers location when they are in that fine of condition. Look at everything and bring a high powered flashlight. I bring with me test songs, and full frequency sweeps. You are just looking for functionality of all of the drivers and the crossover points. The frequency sweeps will tell you if the capacitors need replacing. Due to age they will anyway, but should be in working condition. If the seller does not have a functioning stereo setup, I bring one with me, cables and all. I also bring lots of moving blankets, pillows. Maybe a sheet of plywood for a solid base if needed. Straps, but I don't like to use them. Just pack 'em tight. Do not forget to take the grills home with you. I like to make a sale/purchase slip for my own records s/n included, and leave a copy if they want one.
For your money, if you had the space, the 3 La Scalla's would have been a better deal IMHO. They would end up costing you much more after restoration however. If you can not do the restorations yourself bring them to me and I can do that kind of work for you. Just sayin'.

First, kill all the cats!
That was actually done it 14th Century Europe, it was thought they spread plague. They got rid of cats, rat populations soared, deaths spiked. (Disease is spread by fleas from rats, who knew?)
Forgot about that one. Good catch!
There are many lined up ready to kill all the cats.

Apparently Kitty is pretty good at killing more than just rats.

Things like flu vaccine s are supposed to get better with time
and experience one may like to think.
Yes bring on the article s and those numbers who die from the vaccine itself each year.
Die from the flu vaccine?
Yes there is an answer
1 or 2 persons per million vaccines given
Usually from an allergic reaction to eggs
There is an egg-free flu vaccine for this reason

what happened -----? not quick enough
Did not check my other email until after dinner. I did call on another item he had listed, then found out he had sold these. Sure enough, in my email they were there, but already deleted on the sale page.

Today I just missed a local pair for $175! There are some scraps left I may pick up, but It is like fishing and watching the guy in the boat next to you catch the tournament fish.

While there is no current proof of covid-19 transmission from cat to human..."there is a public health need to recognize and further investigate the potential chain of human–cat–human transmission"

Your house cat can catch and spread covid-19 asymptomatically to other cats. 90 million cats live with their human caretakers in the U.S. alone. Another 30-80 million feral/stray cats in the U.S.
new england journal of medicine
Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Domestic Cats
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2013400?query=featured_coronavirus
researchers advise that people with symptoms of COVID-19 avoid contact with cats. They also advise cat owners to keep their pets indoors, in order to limit the contact their cats have with other people and animals.
There is no evidence cats readily transmit the virus to humans, nor are there documented cases in which humans have become ill with COVID-19 because of contact with cats.

150k deaths is the expected number , let's say 200k just to be more realistic -but a vaccine cure is in the works , ASAP -PLEASE
There will be no "cure" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cure
There will be "more likely than not" a vaccine within the time frame spoken about within this thread.
Even smallpox, the only disease to ever be completely eradicated, has no "cure"
For Covid-19, a vaccine with an expected effective efficacy rate of 40% will be given to millions of people, eventually hundreds of millions and finally billions over the course of several years. This vaccine will "teach" the body to develop and manufacture its own antibodies to fight off the Covid-19 virus. The goal here of course is to save lives and keep people from being sick. What will have a greater effect worldwide will be the slowing down of the transmission rate by forcing the Covid-19 virus into kind of a dead-end by having part of the population either immune or having reduced symptoms. This will keep ICU's and medical supplies from being overwhelmed. In some areas the virus will continue to spread, cause illness, cause death. This is not unlike the common flu we have now. It will continue to circulate the globe, and its human population for the long term future. Hundreds of years actually. Exactly like the H1N1 virus circa 1918, in all of its various strains, that we still inoculate for today, that still continues to cause illness and death, just not as many as when it first arrived in humans.

Of course, we all hate to admit that not ALL products made here are the best made products. They may be made in England, France, Italy, Brazil, etc.
Agreed. I have a small collection of boots and shoes. Most are European. Some U.S.A. Let me go count...
Three Made in Italy (Zamberlan, LaSportiva ,Aku)
Three Made in Romainia (Scarpa, Garmont, Bostonian)
Two Made in Germany (Lowa, Hanwag)
Three Made in U.S.A. (Danner, Johnston & Murphy, Redwing)
Zero Asian
Just bought a Made in the U.S.A. pair for work direct from the manufacturer, Danner, and the fit and finish was not up to my usual standards. Going back. My fault for choosing a "new" style on deep discount. Obvious cost cutting was involved although the MSRP was just under $400. I don't expect to see this model around again. Free shipping, free returns, bad reviews.
So instead of new boots I will be sending my 3 year old pair of work boots directly to Danner, where they will do the following
Replace midsole
Replace outsole
Replace shank
Replace heal counter
Replace insole/insert
Repair hardware
Repair stiching
Recondition leather laces
I could get the liners replaced, but do not want to
Can you think of another company offering this kind of service and quality on consumer items? I can.
Occidental leather is doing the same thing with tool bags I use for work. I still use the bags I bought in 2006. Sent in for repair a couple of time now. They are still under warranty.
Moral of the story is do your research. Share your stories. Word of mouth. The world is full of full of cheap garbage. It's funny when your friend steps in dog S!%T but not funny when he gets back in the truck with you, so really it better to help each other out. The consumer goods marketing department won't help you one bit.

I had Klipsch community friend, 'John", who posted for many years just up and disappear for about 1 year. PM's were unread. Then boom he is back just a few days ago. Just wanted to share my joy about it with you for a moment. I hope your friend is well, but sounds like he is just busy.

Even if the stockpile was replenished the responsibility lies with the states.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSo you are then saying that Prestige Ameritech, a medical supply company in Fort Worth, Texas should have contacted the state of Texas and not HHS?

Since this occurred in January it is called 20/20 hindsight. And thar’s plenty of that to be dispensed.
Perhaps you could provide us with a link to factual based content showing specifically how the HHS was in fact unaware of there ever being any potential viral pandemic requiring the addition of millions of N95 facemasks in the U.S. I have seen myself several examples of factual based content previously posted here showing how a world pandemic was viewed as being inevitable years before January 2020.

The author of that has nothing but hate in every thing he writes. I can see how people who read it can get caught up in the spin and become a hater too.

First quick read, and I am coming away with the impression that the author is stuggling to find ways to love life as it is, in a world he finds is full of imbalance, lies, unfairness, and death. I did not summise anything about hate mongering.

Won't be finding contractors up around here doing anything for those rates. 3X material is close on contractor rates plus add material. I know some areas of the country where you can pick up some imported labor down standing around the parking lots looking for day jobs. You can hold their hand.
