One bump with price drop.

the F3 is not "up to spec" for a chorus 2 speaker. ray (roy) recently stated he made a mistake in saying the F3 is ok to use for a ch2.
until if/when the kd16 is available to buy, simply speakers re-cone is the best option, or find a used OEM.
Woah! I did not see that. Where did he say that? So glad I didn't spend the money on the FIIIs. He initially said very confidently they would work.
The SS cones are pleated, and I trust them to know how to spec a proper replacement. Plus passives seem much simpler the drivers with a few basic variables (area, weight, material, surround).

Not pushing that option but after much research is the way I went.

OK did you take the weight off the old OEM passive and put it in the new one? There has to be a weight in there to make it work right.
I have not done it yet
But yes when I do I will transfer the weight.

I ended up going with the recone kit from simply speakers, although in retrospect I might have gone with the Forte III just to know they are up to spec. Really can't get a better authority on compatibility than Ray. I would not hold your breath for OEM pleated ones, they are few and far between.
Let me know if you end up with a KD-16 basket, I'm still looking out for another donor to recone.

Very nice 115 wpc integrated amp with phono stage. Works great, looks and sounds fantastic. Small mark on the left side of the faceplate. Very hard one to sell. $300 plus shipping OBO. Was using it with Chorus II, very enjoyable. I can send more pics if interested.
What Hi-Fi best buy amplifier in 2002 (£500-£800).

This is killing me, hope this goes to a good home!

Yeah but it would cost thousands to best it...

Hes seeing less than one tenth of one percent of your local population i would guess. He wouldn't have any long-term info on the vaccine either.
Wait what??? ICU nurse says vaccine is bad, therefore vaccine is bad, scary and dangerous. Pulmonologist says COVID is bad, and he's not credible. Because he works in a major hospital in a city of 350k and has been training in medicine for 35 years. Good luck man.
With that, I'm done here. Yikes.

My FIL is a pulmonologist that sees the effects of COVID every day. His take is the risks of COVID, long and short term, far outweigh this risks of the vaccine. COVID has been downplayed, although it has killed hundreds of thousands. Not saying the vaccine does not have risks, but I am way more scared of COVID.

I've heard that too, and so far I would say it does great with power. My experience is limited, but that big ol woofer can use the power to really control it and keep it tight. Maybe dampening factor is more important that watts. Mid and highs are great with anything.
I've gone from 25 watt HK430 to 120 integrated, now at 150 watt NAD and 220 watt B&K. Kinda liking the NAD at the moment.
Edit - revising this post as I have no idea whether that woofer has any bearing on anything, that's something I read and it made sense. Trying to get away from speculative hearsay.

Got mine yesterday, my arm was sore! Shot's rarely bother me but this one did. No effects today.
Unfortunately we live in a time when information is so plentiful anyone can point to "experts" that are trying to make a living writing clickbait articles. The way our brains are wired we gravitate towards the most salacious headlines and only read the articles that fit within our worldview.
We didn't even attempt a nation-wide lockdown, or have anything remotely approaching a national strategy because people would not listen to experts. This, as every topic, quickly got couched in politics and "freedom." Thanks to all who are getting it.

I have a VM540ML and it is fantastic, I picked that one after a lot of research looking for best bang for the buck in that price range. Don't have a lot to compare it though. There's no right answer, so in the end you can't go wrong!

Fresh paint though...that's worth something...

Just for giggles- the author of that article is in no way a medical expert and is clearly just pulling random facts from all over the place. This is not a good article.

Although I do agree on cloth masks, I get early on when there was a shortage but now the higher the better. No one is saying masks are the solution, but they are definitely part of the solution. Along with vaccines.

Absolutely pre-existing conditions are a factor, but people are dying because of covid.
I have no idea what science is behind CA not opening gyms, as I said when we look back we will find (gasp) states on both sides were wrong.
23 minutes ago, Madman1 said:So I’m sure we have all seen that the “experts” at the cdc have now said that masks reduced the infection rate by a whopping......2%. Wow that’s just incredible! So I guess all the mask propaganda was right, mask do save lives..🙄
Where is this fact? So if the CDC are not 'experts' who do you trust the next time we have a pandemic???? I don't get it.
Even if it's 2%, that's a lot of lives and it slows transmission rates. So it's better. And it's not hard to do.

It doesn't prevent you from getting covid. Thats just more disinformation.
What? Can you explain that? I can't find anything along those lines.
I do hope we learn a lot from this about managing epidemics in the future. In retrospect I bet we will say some states were too restrictive, some were too loose, and no one handled it perfectly. We will probably use the US response as textbook case of how not to handle things in the future. It will be medical experts that do that work, based on science and data, not armchair journalists pulling together a few random facts to make clickbait. This is also why we need competent professionals in places like the CDC.
It is frustrating and frankly scary that many of the states that did not impose regulations did so not because they had better science, data, or medical opinions, but because for some reason people thought being asked to wear a mask in public is infringing on their personal liberty.
Anyway, rant over! Here's to things opening up and my god I can't wait to have a beer on a crowded outdoor patio with no mask. 🍻

And what's the alternative, we just wait until there's a vaccine everybody feels good about? If you're eligible for the vaccine and don't get it you are basically asking everyone else to get the vaccine so you don't have to. Good chance 90% of the products we touch every day are horrible for us, and they are inventing new chemicals faster than we can figure out which ones are killing us.

I thought that it was in regard to how it interacts with your RNA.
Not going to pretend I'm an expert on vaccine development. My point is that the development builds on a lot of medical development and research, so while it is newer it is based on a solid understanding of what is going on. I wouldn't say it's a radical departure and it has followed very well established guidelines for development and testing.

Thanks and I didn't realize that's where you stood.
I didn't say that nor do I think it. That coronavirus thread you started over a year ago can be invaluable as a learning tool given all that we did learn--An effective Covid-19 vaccine was the ultimate goal and it seems we are there; If not, I'll be a Guinea pig for the health and safety of my family and country while wearing a Mask and social distancing, because everyone seems to acknowledge there needs to be a certain amount of herd immunity to get ahead of this virus. I want to do my part and get life back to normal. That`s my take.
😞
That's where I'm at. I do not want to get the vaccine, but I will to get this country going again. I'm not very worried about getting sick myself, but I wear a mask and distance for the people in my community. Yes there are issues and unknowns, but 500k have already died. Same with masks, they don't protect 100%, but they help. There's no perfect solution, and I'm not waiting until they 'know everything' about the vaccine.
This is also based on, what, a century of modern medical research and practice? This is not some radical departure from established procedures for vaccine development.

I think there are 2 pair of Heresy in the twin cities for 1K and 1.2K or something like that. Yikes!

Not relevant to the OP's question but USPS has been fantastic for me, they are the only carrier I use and I am happy to support them.

Appreciate it.
