johnyholiday Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 edgewound can you please point out, at what x-y axis; date & price,that you take, your dollar assements from,please use the chart provided ,from 1983 going forward, as sample data; http://www.spiraltrader.com/weekly/gnj30d9/dollarlt.jpg ; I fail to get the joke. A PAIR of Hartsfields would cost you $1,986.00 US, in 1962 $1,986.00 US 1962 dollars are worth $12,619.65 US 2005 dollars $20,000.00 US 1962 dollars are worth $127,086.09 US 2005 dollars The difference in price, in today's dollar, measured against the value of yesterday's (1962) dollar equivalent is ($7,380.35 US 2005 dollars) today, = $1,161.47 US 1962 US dollars In other words $7,380.35 US 2005 dollars = only $1,161.47 US 1962 dollars,the price increase since they were first built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Try this calculator. The eBay Hartsfields were actually available for $17K. Guess 1964 was the best year for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAKO Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 AAAAHHHHH!!!now thats my kind of scum. Can you imagine what it was like back then. No toilet paper, no soap, no tooth brush, Your girl friend or wife with long hairy legs, no wash machine, no beer, the only weapon was a leg bone from your mother in law, A time before Woody Allen.

Parrot Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Ah, the old days. Now you're making me nostalgic. You can imagine how difficult trolling was on the Klipsch Forum before the internet. You'd bait somebody by snail mail, and not get a return insult for maybe a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnyholiday Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 ham sandwiches are worth something, so are pigs in a truck but edgewound's analyisis is worthless,bildge water, Currency fundamentals: One thing to keep in mind when analyzing floating currencies is that they have no intrinsic value. In the absence of a strong link to gold, property, or some other stable source of value, currencies are little more than commodities which are created by central banks. Their value is a function of the balance between their supply and demand. Trying to predict the intersection of these two independent variables is the difficult art of currency forecasting, floating and volatile currencies pose a serious threat to global financial stability. Since the worlds major currencies have been anything but stable in recent years, trying to sort out the implications of the volatility is worthless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your brilliant remark Parrot, the Hartsfields retailed for less than the RF7s of today, making them an even better bargain than I realized, since you and jboy reminded me that the value of a dollar is simply an abstract, and purely arbitrary. Thanks for such an insightful post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Mr. Edge, Blinded by JBL hype and deafened by JBL speakers, you aren't understanding the situation. The Hartfields simply don't cut it for discerning listeners. If these are the speakers that "made" JBL, may heaven help the audio world.

My dictionary says that pompous is 'magnificent, splendid, consequential'. A wonderful description of a Parrot. So, there you go, Paul. Another fan of yours! But like all fans he's fickle.

Not to mention all the musical instrument companies as well. Not a discerning listener in the bunch, huh? I've already told you that I found the Klipsch sound to be WONDERFUL, but I guess you've choosen to overlook that. I own several examples of both brands. Vintage JBL's fit,finish, quality of componets and materials is superior to anything Klipsch has ever built, that's a fact. If you think otherwise, you are just in denial, or it is YOU that have fallen for the "hype". Which sounds better is a matter of TASTE, that also is a fact. They are both fine systems performance wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
