mike stehr Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 I like the old EV's, the Cabinet work is so cool. Is she upset, because her blanket got wet? That is a neat painting, whose work is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 John Warren, I salute you, Sir! Have you any photos of the K-horn cabinet transitions over which we may salivate? Until you find them, I will be content with the lady who brings back so many images of forty years of research into times beyond. There is a grace and culture you bring to this board beyond what you may realize... but I think not! With 6.1 Mozart in the background, I thank you for reminding us of the genius that has been... and giving us strength to reach beyond the mediocrity of the moment and influence the next generation.

John Warren Posted February 10, 2002 Author Share Posted February 10, 2002 HornEd-Thank you, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only admirer of these old designs. If you would like a copy of the plans and step-by-step directions for building the Patrician IV send me a private email with a mailing address. Even if you do not intend to build them, it makes for great reading. It would be my pleasure to send them to you. Mike S- The painting is by John Waterhouse and is entitled "The Lady of Shalott" from the Tenneyson Poem by the same name. Painting is very famous. Your also quite perceptive, she is very sad but not because her blanket (really the "tapestry of her life") is wet, but because she's cursed, she dies in the boat.

JohnA Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/clipserve/B000002LT2001004/002-8568572-4373635http://mfile.akamai.com/3196/rm/muze.download.akamai.com/2890/us/us_rm/1200/124561_1_04.ram?obj=v10212 That picture gave me a vague feeling of a song by Loreena McKennitt. It turns out I thought of the name just before I read John's last reply; "The Lady of Shalott"! I guess the painter did his job.

djk Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 "she is very sad" she looks like she has been peeling onions. You expect a woman named after a bulbous perennial herb that resembles an onion to look happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 John Warren, I cut my audio teeth on the "pre-stereo" behemoths of the early '50's. I have great respect for what audio engineers can do with speaker dynamics... but also, as a retired business person, realize that speakers have to come off a production line with a significantly positive bottom line when tested by the marketplace. There is an inherent poetry... a blend of esoteric math, the aroma of exotic woods and acoustic alchemy... that makes reading about (and building) uncompromised classic designs an adventure in fulfillment. I am in-and-out-of-pocket these days but will get my address to you via email. Thank you so much for the most appreciated opportunity.

John Warren Posted February 12, 2002 Author Share Posted February 12, 2002 dennis- an interesting "alternative" explanation! Perhaps that was Waterhouse's true interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
