How to ship CD's
I use the Tuff poly bubble mailers if sending one at a time and have had great success with no complaints from any of my recipients. The USPS media mail sending 6 cd's with tracking coast to coast runs about $5. 
The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?
I had a friend come and listen to my Horn system. It is an Oris 150 with Lowther PM4A with AER cones a KCS basshorn system and DIY subs down to 20 Hz. A couple of weekends after being at my home he attended the Capital Audio Fest in Rockville, Md.... 
Any experience with a crown K1 or K2 amp?

Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's
I owned a pair of L212's. They had incredible imaging. I also owned a pair of S8's. The big 3 way with an 075 bullit tweeter 375 midrange and a LE15 woofer. Replaced the 075 with 077's and the sound became a lot smoother. Those were the days. 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
I have an older pair of JBL 4343's. Have the upgraded 2122H midrange drivers and the 2235H woofers. Biamp the system using Cary CAD805's on the top and a Crown K2 amp on the 2235's. Use these speakers as the mains for my home theater system. I lov...
