jdm56 Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 ...in the process of telephone "price shopping" for a belle klipsch to use as a center speaker with my corner horns. One salesperson asked why I didn't want to get another klipschorn for use as a center channel speaker! Another must have yawned into the phone a half dozen times while trying to find his price list. (This was mid-afternoon). One gal, when I said I was interested in a belle klipsch, asked if that was home or car audio. And then a salesperson, after digging through his info for a while, priced me a single, new belle for under $970.00. After a stunned pause I said. "That's awfully good; How are you doin' that? Another pause and, "Oh, wait a minute..." I said, "Wrong column"? "Uh, yeah; wrong column", he replied. Ah, audio humor... -Blind Melon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Phillips Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Curious about the"Blind Melon"thing!? I've discovered that when talking Heritage,that most salespersons are LOST IN SPACE! Why not use an LS for the center or is it for music. A friend uses an LS between his Horns for HT and it's a perfict tonal match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willjam Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 James, thanks for sharing. Your post is hilarious. I'm going to share this with my dealer. Bill J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted February 27, 2001 Author Share Posted February 27, 2001 Steve P, Blind Melon? That's from a very politically incorrect '70-something Cheech and Chong comedy album. I think the character was actually called "Blind Melon Chitlin". Kind of a stereotypical blind, rural, southern blues man. Like I said, definitely not PC. Concerning choice for a center speaker, my system is strictly music only, all A, no Vs>. So, I really wanted to stay with the full range horns. Oh uh, bill - about sharing that; I hope your dealer isn't in Tulsa. Wouldn't want any collateral damage. ------------------ JDMcCall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 Blind Melon is from a Cheech and Chong album? I thought you were just a fan of the band!

Mighty Favog Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 Did anyone catch the episode of Nash Bridges a couple months ago when Cheech was unsnarling a traffic jam at an intersection? He was happily doing this while people were crossing the street when one man dressed in pink tights, Mickey Mouse ears and a mask was crossing in ballet movements. Cheech was giving him odd looks and I didn't get it at first but when the strangely attired man was seen a second time I had to fall on the floor laughing. And I haven't seen "Up in Smoke" for almost twenty years!! ------------------ Tom KLF-20 Mahogony Carver Receiver MXR-150 Yamaha PF-800 Turntable/ Sure V15 Type V Cartridge Carver TL-3100 CD Yamaha K-1020 Cassette dbx 1231 EQ dbx 3bx Series Two H.H.

jdm56 Posted February 27, 2001 Author Share Posted February 27, 2001 Man, talk about bein' lost in the seventies! The Blind Melon - Cheech and Chong connection was so strong in my time warped brain that I had totally forgotten about the band "Blind Melon"! What a geezer I'm gettin' to be! May have to get a new moniker. Wish I still had my old C&C albums...or were they my ex brother-in-laws? I remember playin' 'em real low so the folks wouldn't hear...And 8-tracks! Whew! The best medium ever devised for listening to two tracks at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 Yes, Tommy Chong did make a Cameo apperance on the show. Not sure which episode though. Maybe someone can go to http://www.nashbridges.com to find out. ------------------ Tom KLF-20 Mahogany Carver Receiver MXR-150 Yamaha PF-800 Turntable/ Sure V15 Type V Cartridge Carver TL-3100 CD Yamaha K-1020 Cassette dbx 1231 EQ dbx 3bx Series Two H.H.

PhilH Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Chong was in the same Nash Bridges episode that reunited Phillip Michael Thomas with Don Johnson (Crockett and Tubbs from Miami Vice). I think Thomas is on again this Friday...yes, I do watch WAY TOO MUCH TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
