Search for that Panasonic Cyclonic Inverter folks. It's a change in the way the waves are put into the cavity. It swirls them around on the inside and heats more evenly. Swear it is the best thing since I saw that Amana Radar Range at grandma & grandpas house in c.1975.

@Rxonmymind the video even sounds pretty good coming through on my pc! You seriously lucked out, and that Sunfire equipment would look primo just sitting there.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY !

D*mn that's just not right.
Our experience the past twenty years with kitchen aid has led to them and whirlpool being banished from the premises @Coytee. It's not 1975 anymore. The KEBC171 suicide oven that was $800 about twelve years ago, self-clean function melts the motherboard components . Replaced once then class-action success. Whirlpool gas stove eight years ago... the grate you put the pots on. You won't believe this. It bowed and bent and sank...the darn cooking grate couldn't handle the heat. Made to go over flames it failed under hot temperature. Replaced once and we still deal with it. The labeling for the dails came off with 409 and a paper towel until now...low med high were completely gone after four years. They said clean it with soft cloth and mild detergent. Really?... do they cook more than h20 on their stoves? It's good we're used to it, but have to tell other family how to do it!
Their attitude toward me was that I was using it wrong therefore they would not help up and became mean-spirited with our persistence for a remedy under warranty.
Lifelong customer lost.
Panasonic Cyclonic Inverter waves do good. Their open / close buttons are cheap though. The percentage of cooking power you set it for is how it cooks for the entire time you set, no bursts to equate to 80% power for four min it literally cooks at 80% of the 1250w for the entire time. When I'm too lazy to do nachos in the oven (sacrilege, I know) this wave melts the cheddar evenly over a 13" plate no puddles, no not melted spots. It can melt a stick of butter without scorching it. I love my microwave!

What started my thinking about new main speakers was the bass was the little discontinued speakers I bought last fall to improve my led tv sound. Polk TSx220B for about $160 literally had lower bass than my Heresys. They can not produce the sound "stage" or pressure like my old speakers though. The talk of how nice the Tractrix Horn on the titanium drivers in the Forte IIIs earlier this spring is going to be an experience for me soon. Cleaned up my "Leftoverture" lp today thinking how their harmonies might come alive. My "Low Budget" lp got eaten with a dozen others by by my rott-n-pit pup angry at me one day two decades ago. Found a great sounding import cd of that a couple weeks ago. I know what the killer bass on that recording makes my Heresys sound like.
"Presence" "Rocks" "Telegraph Road" "461 Ocean Blvd" "Magazine" Everything will sound different, I'm sure.
I'll probably be time travelling by next weekend.

Interesting choice of portraits for your theater @Trentster5172... John & Clint. Their movies, that system... if the neighbors aren't there they'll be looking around the corners of their homes to find where the shots came from.

The 12hz will really help, to be honest it sounds like they go lower, but when you get around the 38Hz range it's hard to tell. Pic's will be good.
If they do sound lower than that, the "new way" of measuring might rile up some folks again...

HOT DAMN!! Look at the little mumps sketch.
Thanks for the update Cory!
OD as in Old Dominion? They had good people and service when I ran a warehouse after work at night at the Orlando airport.

Is the half price posted ?
Yes.
Both the things I put up here I was initially thinking how they sounded and their worth to me... that's just not reasonable from someone else's perspective. It is in very good shape.
Got a good box and packing material lined up!

Those are some "purdy" speakers. The stereo cabinet I made years ago is red oak and the grain looks very much like your pics. GLWYS

Really looking forward to what you think, I know you use heresy ll now. I really like the Heresy 1 2 or 3, but to me your new model will really impress you, and you already have alot of nice electronics to get them running, this should be good.
You may be the first here to get the new model in your home.
Well yea I did read his responses to the mess just before I joined at this thread. I see how those couple of ideas thrown around would not do as intended, but the opposite. Scrap that.
@Scrappydue turned me on to a dealer here @MetropolisLakeOutfitters, and we talked (dealer & I) just a couple days ago. I might be among the first of the group but I'd bet there are some closer to Hope that could get set up sooner. Plus the Fourth Of July might delay things. Nothing wrong with Heresys to me either, but to go 12hz lower without having to spread a couple of subs out will be great. The new mid and high drivers with noted sound stage improvements!!! Bi-wiring will give me 120w/ channel that's a boost for my system. I'll let you guys/gals know and maybe flood the thread with pics cut only halfway down, my phone makes `em 4032 X 3024 pixels.

He said sure, were going to put them in the other room so I can listen more in a different room. Not exactly what I was thinking.
Classic! You did give it a try. Soon I'll have a design of his here and moving furniture like a gal that hasn't moved any since three months ago. (Said with a smile and a smirk ladies!) If the SrDelgado script becomes available let us all know. Sure that by that time I'll want his name on the grill.
My caliblkwlnt F3s are halfway here by now, final leg of the journey should start Monday.

WOW you have a good memory, that's exactly what happened, wish I could hear them again. We listened to a bunch of music then watched a movie with them. His Tv cabinet and other speakers were along the wall so they were maby 2' or a little more from the back wall.
His normal front three speakers are much smaller speakers, I give him a hard time about that, I do not get many chances, especially with speakers. It only goes so far anyway, he can have any speaker he wants, or makes up.
Ugh not really, I just skimmed though about a dozen early pages and found it.
Wouldn't it be nice to bring work home with you to contemplate with a career like that?

Both look like 8's to me in the serial number, when compared to the 9's in some of the other numbers.
The stain looks very nice!
The more I look at the pics, the more I'm befuddled. Thinking it looks like maybe 751 and 752 also, the paper is so old and those spots - I know bleach would kill and clean anything, used it to clean my bathroom forever. But damn if I did that the paper would fall apart!
I'll pull them out and put them in some bright light soon (my led bulbs just aren't as good)
The sound is clean and strong. I was never concerned by the numbers on the back until this spring, I just protected them back in my partying days and clean off the glass every now and then.

Thanks for the bump @billybob got this when I lived at the cape and drove in to Orlando to get it.

@teaman well if it doesn't move at half price I'll just gift it with the Heresy IIs to my brother.

I have seen Oppo players sell lately for around $300 and they play everything. It sucks when technology passes us by and we have nothing left but boat anchors!
Yep, and this thing with the variable output can make any system sound better.

@teaman darn I know I paid over $300 for it! I'll have to change what I'm asking, obviously $ in my pocket is better than this good component collecting dust any longer.

Nice..
You can see like they stated at their site that the hybrid California Black Walnut grain varies a lot. Means we'll have a surprise when we open them up.
I searched that before ordering and besides what's been shown at CES and here with Cory's the look of this "Claro Walnut" can vary wildly.
