My grandfather, pvt. Loren W. Tully 743rd Tank Battalion Company B, landed on Omaha beach D-day at 6:30A.M. He was the driver of a Sherman M duplex-drive amphibious tank. I remember how he told me he never seen a single hollywood movie that got it right. Turn the ocean into blood, and fill the beach with bodies, and you start to get close to the reality. He said Saving Private Ryan D-day scenes got the closest. Stopping there with details told to me by him. The Initial Assault Wave Ninety-six tanks, the Special Engineer Task Force, and eight companies of assault infantry (1,450 men), landing just before and after 0630, were to carry out the first assault missions "On the right, the 743d Tank Battalion brought in all its tanks on LCT's. Company B, coming in directly in face of the Vierville draw, suffered from enemy artillery fire. The LCT carrying the company commander was sunk just of shore, and four other officers were killed or wounded, leaving one lieutenant in Company B. Eight of that company's 16 tanks landed and started to fire from the water's edge on enemy positions. The tanks of Companies C and A touched down to the east at well-spaced intervals and without initial losses. In the 16th RCT one, only 5 of the 32 DD tanks (741st Tank Battalion) made shore; of Company A's 16 standard tanks, 2 were lost far off shore by an explosion of undetermined cause, and 3 were hit and put out of action very shortly after beaching. The surviving third of the battalion landed between E-1 and E-3 draws and went into action at once against enemy emplacements." " By the end of D-Day the 743rd Tank Battalion could report 38 operational tanks (with one in repair). Nevertheless, the much larger numbers of tanks that made it to the beach from the 743rd Tank Battalion by all accounts proved critical in suppressing and destroying German positions. This helped the 29th Infantry Division's men to get off the beach at the D-1 Vierville draw. In addition, the 743rd Tank Battalion even took over for the missing 741st Tank Battalion's armor in helping to open the E-1 St Laurent draw off the beach."

Not sure how to vote. I have 2 small home theater systems. One, I voted Forte... Klipsch Chorus II's and the other system JBL 250Ti/240Ti. I voted Pre/Pro as I use only 2 channels of the AVR and 7 channels of external amplification for the remainder for both atmos systems. Subs are Monolith. Plasma and projector.

+1 for Toolshed

40 voters! Not too shabby. Thanks guys. Seems to be pretty evenly split so far. Comments or suggestions are always welcome.

Selling a pair of Forte II crossovers I bought a while back. I am just not using them any longer. These are the complete crossovers on a wood board. The upgraded wiring is included. Will be shipped bubble wrapped inside of a Styrofoam cube that will be stuffed and packed inside of a cardboard box. SOLD

I like your approach on this sale jimjimbo. I enjoy these same type of activities, restoring the original look and feel these speakers had in an earlier life. Many people do not understand the amount of hours, and love, they end up being showered with. Nice prices BTW. GLWYS.

Finally have those photos available. Quality is unmistakable. Unfortunately the price has risen. https://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/ele/d/milwaukee-museum-quality-klipsch-h700/6901141999.html

$#!T or get off the pot. JK. IMHO, If you have the proper space to place them, preferably near a wall, I can't think of another speaker for that kind of money that can do better. Worst case... buy them, try them, sell them.

Excellent. I hope you get them.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. To keep you all updated, I regretfully have to inform you that my sister Amanda has passed away, and we have just put her to rest Saturday. Her final days were spent at a hospice care center that would remind of of a place that you would see on a Hollywood Rehab television series. Like a nature preserve with double patio doors in the room so we could wheel her bed outdoors to look out over the large pond. Our funeral service was the best I ever attended. Thankfully my sister is now more perfect than she ever was in this life. Her lifelong physical and mental challenges are now for the first time over, and Peace and Happiness are with her finally. Please be well all of you who are struggling. Please give us some updates to how you and your family are doing. @mr clean @T2K @joessportster @polizzio

The added gear makes this a killer scroe.

Glad 2 forum members got together to make it happen. Hope you ankle heals as quickly as you found these speakers.

I personally recommend the seller. I like your pricing the way it is David! Also thanks for the in-house discount. Quartets are so underrated. Oh well, as you know, we all MUST move up the Klipsch ladder. Good luck. Chris

Thats what I did, give or take $. 18 months for mine. At least one more person is off the list. Move forward one space.

...

I personally recommend the seller. David, I like your pricing now! Agreed, give the forum guys a break, otherwise I think your good. I remember when I sold my quartets in 24 hours once I put them on the auction site. Got $675 net. That guy drove 350 one way miles to get them (Michigan-Wisconsin). Good luck with your sale. Chris

Ad now says $1600, so I guess Memorial Day Sale.

I would have drove the 400 miles for this pair myself, but I am late as usual. Not a problem though. I just sold a black pair for $800 and I now own a walnut pair so I am good anyway.

I heard one, for about 12 minutes at Axpona. I thought they were a bargain compared to the other over the top esoteric gear I listened to while I was there. I am not a tube guy. I have nothing to compare them to. Just always liked Bob Carver and what he has done for the audio world. I thought they sounded great. Sort of hard to compare when they were running on 7 foot tall ribbon array speakers. I never touched them. No idea on the temps. Around here https://jimclarkstereo.com/ is the place to contact.

It is the same CL seller that lists everything at double price. He must sell this stuff eventually (up to a year), he always has new adds up. Probably takes best offer and runs out for more stock. I don't think he is in it to make friends. This is the rest of his stuff he has listed. Not currently overpriced on some items, but those items have been for sale for over 1 year, so I think some of the stuff may not work properly. https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/search/ele?query=Scammers+and+lowballers
