Matthews Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 So, what the hell has been going on? Wow, looks like it was back late 2017 since I last signed in. Time flies !!! Where are all those La Scala's that need some make-up? 🧐 Winter is coming fast and might need a project. OK, that was a lie. i WANT a project! Project for a keeper pair (not flip). Miss them big 'ol glorious speakers in my life. Sick of the RF-7's like last year... Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Well, The Forum looks the same. I hope everyone is good and getting through these crazy times OK. I pretty much took a 2+ year absence from audio. Other than moving junk around and listening. Unfortunately, my hobbies have become just a little more intense lately LOL 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
