PrestonTom Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 It's important to save these photos. At some point in time your girlfriend will (again) bring up the idea of getting some smaller cabinets. Use these photos as part of the negotiations.... -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 That's great advice, Tom! Most of the time we forget we're just a little loony until we see someone who is really 'round the bend. Looking at that picture almost makes me feel sane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBK Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 These redefine near field monitors....[] Good point on keeping the pic for comparisons. If I recall correctly, I found it on Audiogon - can't remember what the brand was...do wonder how you would move them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 That starting to look like that Hemi Air Raid siren that Chrysler built for WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanbrain Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Picture saved. I bet the wife uses them to signal dinner time. Seeing those reminds me of the time I was on the bow of the Queen Mary II when they sounded the foghorn. They say you can hear that horn 50 (EDIT: website says 10) miles away on a clear day. Parted my hair right down the center. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanbrain Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 This is close to what was mentioned before. "What you see pictured above is a Chrysler Air Raid Siren, the most powerful siren in the world. It's the size of a car, measuring near 12-feet in length and standing more than 6-feet tall. It also weighs twice as much as today's typical car. This gigantic siren is powered by an 180-HP Chrysler Industrial V-8 HEMI gasoline engine. The super-duty engine directly drives a three-stage compressor that blows 2,610 cubic feet of air a minute, at nearly 7 PSI, into a giant siren rotor. The compressed air screams through the chopper and out through six giant horns with an exit velocity of 400 miles per hour. The result is an incredibly loud 138 dB sound (measured 100 feet from the siren). The loudness of this siren is unmatched by any other warning device ever sold, ever. It's also considerably louder than the largest steam whistle or horn. As if that were not dramatic enough, the whole unit, engine and all, slowly rotates one and one-half times a minute on its iron turntable base. You can hear it four miles away."
