  1. " Secondly isn't it just for 18 year olds looking for a mixer? I'm not that young anymore and I'm married. (unless I trade Janet for FORTE IIs, then maybe I'll go.) " Well last year I don't remember anyone in there teens. Most people there were over 35 and I'm being generous ! And there were some wives there, and the rest of the guys would have rather walked away with speakers or an amp, instead of a woman ( bunch if geeks ) !
  2. She has not seen it yet, but I have found myself in trouble since this started so one more time does not matter in the long run . Darn Roc at least i'm not trying to trade her for a pair of speakers ! [].......... Did she ever see that thread ? And for Tommyboy I have since seen your wife post on the forum, and she seems like a very nice girl, so I will take back the statement " let her get over it " If she was a whiner or worse , she would have to get over it. Roc how come your not going to Indy this year for the get together ?
  3. I like THEBE's, and I know what kind of music OB likes , sound's like a done deal IMO . [Y] And just think this country will have first twins for first ladies !
  4. " Trying " to quit also. [:$] I quit for a few months, a couple years ago then on new years eve had a couple [D] and that was all it took to start again.
  5. Hey we had 3 kids, the cages would be much more effective if used on the kids !
  6. " I've been in Washington for over 30 years and at times have operated at the highest levels of government." There's the scary part ! [] Now that explains where you get the knack for [bs], I originally thought you were a writer / novelist, but no, just hanging around with politician types !
  7. Hey that's my grandkids ! 50 % of them []
  8. I think OB said it best, for me, If I don't live longer than my father or his father, about 12 more years . But it could be in 5 minutes, only the big man knows, I could shorten it but I can't change when it's my time. I have seen people in much better condition, without the bad habits die young ?
  9. I'll have you guys know that despite my gruff exterior, I'm really a NICE guy when it comes to the ladies. That's why I've been finishing last. I just need one GOOD girl though, ya know? I have no doubt ! Yep you need a good one, not a wild one, I would guess you have seen your share of the wild side.[]
  10. Well when I was wanting to move into some of the older style Klipsch, I was really thinking about using Heresy's for a HT. I was asking questions about Heresy's for the HT here on the forum, because of the size I thought it would be a easy fit. I was actually looking for some I just never said anything, That's when Fastlane said he knew about some Forte ll's from a man 1.5 hours from me for sale . And Fastlane knew the man, and that made me feel a little better, since I had never bought anything off eBay. I knew nothing about the Forte ll, so I looked them up and thought they would work. I had never heard a Forte ll, not even when I picked them up, they were sitting by the front door when I got there . Well I loved them and was on Christys butt to help find some more, which took a long time, I was really wanting more so I could use one a a center and have the front 3 matching, Because that's what I kept reading about, how important it was for the front 3 to match. That's when you, Michael gave me you spot in line for the pair in Florida, that was it I was hooked for sure. When I heard what 3 matching in the front sounded like then I had to have a third pair, you know, it's the Madness, like someone around here says ! I found a third pair by accident myself, but they are original Fortes, but good enough for rears, for now at least . They run circles around the Synergy's I had bought new, and I thought they sounded great when I bought them. The Synergys sounded better than any of the others I was looking at from other companies in that price range. Now I know what you all are talking about, when they say them, big old wood boxes, You can't beat them. []
  11. I felt really bad for the guy, he had a really rough time, and his little boy only made me feel worse ! You can't say he didn't try ! I thought it was a good movie, makes you think how good you have it ! I liked the sentience at the end !
  12. Well I'll be ! TheBes is listening to the DR ! I am Impressed [Y] Since you are feeling kind of funky, try Dr John " N'awlinz Dis Dat or D'udda " from 2004. It's a good CD with a real New Orleans kind of sound, and some really funky beats. I had put it on the weekly music recommendations once before , but really didn't expect anyone to try it. But here you are listening to the Dr, not the same CD but still Dr John, he has a very original voice and a style all his own !
  13. Fastlane, just wanted to say Thank You, for turning me on to my first pair of Forte ll's from the guy in Kenner .[] I now have 6 of them for HT. [Y] EDIT : I could have sworn I hit edit not quote, I didn't mean to quote myself ! [:$]
  14. That's a great deal Fastlane, I hope he lives close enough to get them, At that price he should be willing to drive a long way ?
  15. Hey looking at the pic's of the smilinwalls they have got to sound great !
  16. The dogs should look better, they are eating much healthier than me !
  17. Well if you heard the Cornwall lll in Hope you heard the new Heresy lll ! The Heresy lll has the same mid and high freq as the Cornwall lll so you are right when you say you could come close with the Heresy lll, I would guess just less bass ! Great speaker, I couldn't belive all that sound was coming from that small cabinet ! You say 80 % movies,but with the new Heresy's I bet music listning goes way up from 20 % ! []
  18. Roy sometimes has a lot to say, till he gets home than it's only " yes dear ".
  19. Put it this way, his last speaker design was taller than him !
  20. Roy only knows how to fish for blueberries !
  21. Well DrWho after 28 years I don't worry to much about being in trouble anymore, with some of the stuff I do it's going to happen ! As far as my wife reading here on the forum, it actually helped me get "stuff " I wanted without the need to explain why. To tell the truth, now her list of things audio " to get " is longer than mine ! She wants Heresy's for the bedroom, and Khorns to add to the other 8 Klipsch in the living room ! [] I said it will look like a Klipsch showroom, she said if people don't like the way it looks they can leave and don't have to come back ! She has been very good about this stuff so we will get her the speakers she wants also, hard to argue with that. She likes speakers " Klipsch " but Zero about what's best to play them with, and don't really care, as long as she likes the sound. I think she might even like tubes eventually ! If it sounds good she would like it.
