I don't know what I did. thnx WillyBob WillyBob - BUY THEM!! I have a pair that I bought for (overkill) rear surrounds and I'm tempted to pull them down and use them for two channel. I played with them that way for a couple of months (2 channel) before I put them on the wall and I LOVE them! I'm a fan of the front facing port (I know not all are), but I think they sound wonderful! If they're on the cheap - GET THEM - I'm confident you will not be disappointed! And as dtel said - you can sell them if you don't like them. (Someone will take them!) Good luck! Enjoy!!

WillyBob Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 @280 ea, new sounded OK to me. IDK I am trusting y'all to keep me right I would use our burr grinder, but I am not up to hand cranking it at 4AM. I normally use a braun spice mill. It OK, sort of, if you like a mix of grind/s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how still I held it the pic was terrible, and with less light it went down hill quick.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You prolly guessed by now. I think SW of Tucson hill folk has a little different meaning to hill folk in some places in the back woods of the Eastern mountains ? Can't talk, from the S part of Louisiana is not what most would consider normal. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I was visiting family in IN. My bro-in-law cautioned me about the "hill folk" when I told him I was going to go fishing at Tablerock Lake. I put my bibs on and had a great time. Even got a piece of homemade strawberry/rhubarb pie. that's when is sunk in ... I am hill folk 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're great - thank you for asking! We have a 7.9 earthquake and I somehow sleep right through it! Only one drawer opened in the kitchen- so we did pretty well. Granted it was a couple of hundred miles south of us. It was the entire facebook feed this morning. Feel like I missed out on a big event! :-) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
