| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? It's a good resource. Jim Smith knows his stuff. I heard and bought a pair of Maggie's once from his old shop Audition in Birmingham Al. I strived to get them to sound as good at home as they did there. | |

| If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you Hey it's the Playboy mansion. Strange?Hefner living there could be a special bonus if he continues to party with the hot babes I your house. 🤔 | |
| If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you One could buy the Playboy mansion I see for a mere $200 million. Nice place! Might want to give it a good cleaning first before moving in. Hefner payed a bit over 1 million for it originally back in the 70s I read. Nice appreciation. | |
