  1. $180 a piece would be a good deal. For a pair is a very good deal, assuming all is in working order. In the past two years I have seen one pair near me offered for less than $500. Most sellers in Az ask closer to $700. As to the pedestal question, I do not know. Others here with more in depth knowledge can advise on that. What I mean about the pedestals: I do not know if they were originally sold without them. I have seen many used ones without. The picture you posted is a Forte I. Most I have seen for sale lack the riser. Apparently it is the first thing to go on these vintage speakers. The folks on this forum who own them, love them.

    What I Got Today!

    I got a Blast from my Past: A son was rooting thru my office lookin for a journal and found these in a file of old stuff-
  3. Does it work well on its own? Or will you need a sub (espresso) to enjoy de full effect? Sometimes I bi-amp (Colombian and Guatemalan) or tri-amp. (Add French Roast) Tubes (French press) or SS (drip system)?
  4. Quote from Fairy Godparent Cosmo: "Never cook bacon with your shirt off."
  5. Their parents brought them. We just played with them. Got all five of our kids, and all the grandkids together.
  6. My wife and I with alla da grandkids at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs during this past Christmas.
  7. Got the garden in. The large plant is a pepper which survived the brutal Phoenix winter.
  8. Local talent in Tucson. My wife and I posing with a character at the Buckethead show:
  9. I have two signs: one is for Rancho Chupacabra, our first house in Az, the other is "Rancho Twopacabra" our current abode.
  10. Spraying weeds at Rancho Chupacabra would be a lot less onerous chore if the weeds acted like this
  11. @kink56 I live in Chandler Az, and have a pair of la Scala. If there is no one in Your general area that you can get a listen from we could probably arrange a session. The only turntable I have is a Victrola, so vinyl is out, but cd's will work. I use a 1980's SS Yamaha pre and amp for signal processing. No sub yet. I am generally available Fri & Sat after noon. Sunday after 1300. Shoot me a PM if yer interested.
  12. No. We have a built in entertainment center, and I only have ~ 7.5" clearance top to bottom to fit a center in the TV cubby. Any recommendations on a low profile center which would suit the Heresy?
  13. Is either of the RC-52 a good center for a pair of Heresy in an HT set up?

    What I Got Today!

    A pair of tickets to see Buckethead at the Rialto theater in Tucson.
  15. I got mine inna 1995 IsuzuRodeo. I think I read here about another member using an Outlander. So yes, a minivan Or a Medium SUV should do it easily.

    Thread Open

    Ahhhhhh yes. The old fold versus crumble debate. When in AIT, Pete DiGuglielmo and I did a survey of our Company, on fold versus crumble. After polling about 90% of the unit, one person refused to answer. Pete shouted to me, across the Covered Training Area, "Hey Joe, we got a non user here!" Many LOL's. The results were about 60% folded (or at least claimed they did) and the rest, but one, crumbled. No examinations on the efficacy of either technique (klingons, bacon stripes, etc.) were done. The things Medics do when they are bored.
  17. In eastern Co. and all of southern Az. Yez gots ta run da water through a softener. A reverse osmosis unit is a must post softening, to take the edge off. Ya live where the work is, and adjust to be happy. Colorado Springs and New York City have the best water I've ever had, but ya work with what you've got. Kinda like room treatments.

    Olympic Hockey

    Well shut my mouth. The handshakes happened after the medal ceremony. But it would have been better if the players had lined up and passed in review after the contest, in my opinion.

    Olympic Hockey

    Very pleased that the US ladies team won the Gold. A very exciting contest. But what happened to the post contest handshake? In the NHL players beat the heck out of each other for two weeks, but shake hands when its over, and I find this to be a fine tradition. Why not in the Olympics?

    What I Got Today!
