It's kinda wacky but my wife of 40 + years is pretty cool. She don't mess with any home audio but she loves music. Right now I have oak 20's in my bedroom, it is pretty big though...Someday I do need to post pics here. I have posted just a few speakers in many years .I have this thing where I really like trying different gear. I've taken many pics over the years, hundreds, I am going to post some someday. I also need to update the list. I now have an Anthem mrx hooked to 30's w/Parasound 1500 on fronts. Parasound 2125v2 hooked to an Emotiva PT 100, klf 20's and rsw 15for stereo listening, A Project One Mark III B hooked to Fluance Sinnatures for stereo. It will change before I update though....I don't have lots of money but I'm a patient shopper, and a decent horse trader.
My "barn is really just a conventional garage (75 ft from house) that I call a barn so it's not confused with the house garage. It is a classic garage/lean to with tools, equipment, mowers golf cart but still room for a system. Now the barn has Cerwin at 15's, at 8's, Pioneer Elite 5XX something, monoprice 12 inch sub, NOT NEEDED at all. I'm gonna try to post some pics in the appropriate area soon .
Now I remember why I seldom post pics, they're too big and I have to resize. This was one from garage last year that would fit, lots improved, I'll resize and compare later.

Vs ?? I don't think so.. I had 600pm's, for a week, they were ok, just pretty good. I would have loved to trade em for some Heresy's and thrown in a few hundred...

There's nothing wrong with asking what you want. I probably feel the same you do but pm me a price if you want.

I'm trying to find a Pioneer sx-850 in good shape cosmetic and functional. I just wanted to ask here as I feel more confident in forum purchases. I'm not opposed to close models if anyone has one they could part with, thanks.

So, here's 12 or so, more, Steely Dan, Everything Must Go, never heard any better quality...I have the dvd audio of Rumors, it's good and I'm no huge fan. Be Bop Deluxe, AXE Victim, Pat Travers, Power Trio #2, Most Dire Straits, Communique is great, Cry of Love, Brother, Dave Gilmour self titled, Clapton Just one Night, one of the best recorded old live albums, Foreigner Live 78 Rainbow, some Free from songs of yesteryear, Joe Satriani self titled, John Mellonhead, Whenever we Wanted, I don't even like hin but it's a good recording, Neil Diamond Live from the 60's several tracks, the Police Certifiable,

Fortunately music lovers are exempt from this tragedy....The tragedy is lost jobs/income for people.

Worse than FLAC ? Not if you like added data full time, even in silent passages ?? And...you might, I'm not sure some signal alteration is always bad.....but it is.

I don't know what type speakers so I'll just post for my use/results. I use Krylon specialty high heat. It was just an experiment on original reference series subwoofer front. The finish is not satin but a matte type black. The Krylon was perfect, looks just like original, I'm pretty picky. It goes on fast and smooth like flat paints, but has a better finish, very slight sheen. The best part, it was $4 and change delivered from Amazon so testing on anything is cheap enough. Of course we all have different expectations and results, ymmv.

No, I did it on purpose...I thought tens of thousands of health care workers are out of work with their lives in turmoil would lighten the mood...for some...

Steroids, when used long term or in high doses, can elevate intraocular pressure (which may increase glaucoma risk), and can cause cataracts. Do you get your eyes checked regularly?Maynard
Eyes checked...good point, only the dmv recently. She said man you got good eyes. That's close as I've been for years. As to Steroids...I think if you take any you should well understand their use and pro and con. I take what's considered a small amount, and even that is not full time. A large then tapered dose, sometimes minor maintenance in between. I'm the kind of guy that only uses the minimum of most things, except electricity.

Yes, I'm prescribed to be. Prednisone allows my lungs to do their job without being way over inflamed and then flooded. it's a very interesting story story of development of prednisone. When it was first created they used it on arthritis patients that could not even stand. Very soon afterwards these patients could dance. Not too long after that they discovered the terrible side effects bone degeneration and other issues

Thanks for your point of view.
Is it Prednisone?
Thanks!
Yep, without it my lungs overflow fluid, causing easy infection and very difficult breathing even in the best of times.

FAKE FALSE HATE News is digging their own grave. They could have a rule ALL stories reported as fact MUST be verified. If a mistake is made, it must be retracted on the FRONT PAGE not page 200 at the bottom. They (media bosses) could say, you break the rule you never work in media again. If you cannot verify, you just don't report it as a fact, state it is opinion only, period. They could gain confidence by only reporting the truth and facts. But..the overwhelming lies and distortion purported as news leaves most trusting NO MEDIA, even the ones they agree with. Do people want lies, I suppose some do, but not smart people which should be running the show. If they stated this as their goal, across all media and worked to make it happen they could regain credibility. I suppose they may lose money so it ain't gonna happen. We need a free and fair press. We do not need lies , distortion and hate 24/7. It's not doing us any good that I can see. ALL just MY OPINION.

if i get it, chances are that it will take me. i don’t mind dying alone. at least i’d have the peace of mind knowing that i wasn’t spreading it to my loved ones ... although living in the same house, chances are that they’d already been exposed. My kids all live far away ... i would tell them NOT to come up here.
i already told my brother that if i got it and it got to the point of me having to go to the hospital, NO VENTILATOR. I will either live or die without it. if it gets that bad, then just let my clock run out.
ALL MY OPINION, I'm NOT a Doctor. Just adding info for consideration. On it's face this may sound like a bad idea (no vent). It may be that NOT going on a ventilator MAY save your life. The semi latest thinking (not from the herd) is vents are likely contributing to deaths. The last guy, my Uncle that I saw on one walked into the hospital by himself just feeling a little under the weather ,cautious with underlying issues. He never walked out. There is more and more info that these vents are damaging lungs and other organs in the c19 treatment. A better method is mask with light force and oxygen, steroids early for inflammation, patient on stomach. Strangely the same guy I saw way over a month ago talking about hydroxychloroquine with his crayon also said vents bad, put em' on their stomach and the same things some Docs are now discovering. The virus dont kill, your body's reaction can killl you is my thinking. Like I said, I'M NO Doc. This is just for reading and consideration. I do have an overactive immune system that has tried to kill me more than once, like everyday. Steroids keep me alive and breathing, with the associated trade offs....

No need to get offended. Death is a sensitive area and people are now having to make some choices about death, their own and others. That opens the door to who should or should not be given living priorities and based upon what? It is a nasty quandary faced by all of us whether in medicine or not.
Thanks...I'm not offended. I hope no one is offended about civil conversation. You mentioned "perspective" I considered it. Many people have kids, moms, dads, relatives of all kinds NOT KILLED and disabled in numerous ways in the past several weeks. That was my "perspective". Just mine......If I get this crap I'm best case 50/50 to die, severe breathing issues, oxygen , the whole deal, it don't change final numbers in 2020. I too hope less people die, maybe they will, or not....Some people lost a family member to C19. Some people did not lose family members to auto,work and any number of 5 digit per year deaths.
So...again, just a way of seeing good in a VERY BAD situation. I appreciate the fact many people will never know the nightmare they/family missed, at possibly my or others expense. Just speaking as an adult as I normally would. I'm kind of a nature is cruel but its in charge guy, it has a way, I don't understand or like. It also don't matter to nature what I like.

Permanent immunity is likely not going to be the case. This is a corona virus which in an existing variation causes a common form of a ‘cold’. That form of the virus does results in a short term immunity, not permanent immunity. This is why we get colds again and again and also why there’s no vaccine against the common cold. Insofar as covid19 they remain uncertain as to the length of immunity survivors achieve and there have been reports of 2nd infections. This also impacts the ability to derive a vaccine for covid.
IMHO less people dying is better than ‘more’ people dying. Not sure ‘where’ you’re headed with this but you’re rooting around in some really murky ethical issues - it would seem.
I'm not headed anywhere...Just curious if we should be tore down, or less tore down. THE FORUM, as the WORLD has opinions. I proclaimed I'm no Dr, you may be ??? Or scientist ??? So, just some dudes thoughts on a websiite .No one owns the right to opinion exclusively, of course JMO....
