Not manufactured any more.
decooney, what are the 3 round gizmos below the third driver on the front baffle?  You got all kinds of goodies..  
Has gear or a recording ever made your ears hot?
I've wanted to cover my ears. Does that count? I've wanted to claw my ears off and dig out my eyes. Yoko Ono..  Regards  
Then and Now
  I have a lot of the reference stuff from the 70, 80, 2000, 2010, 2020s. The 20 year gap is actually raising kids 1980-2000. I keep everything unless it earns the bridge toss. Two have through the years out of 200 at least. Every now and then I... 
Static electricity affecting sound reproduction. Please help!!
You need a little humidity. Hose the inside of the room down. That will work. :-) Boil some water, get a humidifier. Turn off the air conditioner. It's way to dry. Second get a static discharge mat to stand on and a small one to discharge to. T... 
How Big of a Difference?
I know this if you you don’t try different cables you won’t hear a difference. Getting your cables routed and off the floor with copper cabling and copper terminal ends will improve the SQ and lower the floor noise. First things first. I know wha... 
Speaker selector that won't degrade sound
Out doors I have always ran SOOW. You’ll never hear the difference until you roll over the cable a couple of times with 300lb subs on casters. It will tear up a standard anything other than 600vac SOOW in armor. Some of my 50 footers double (4/12)... 
Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like?
More good times at weddings, quinceanera, anniversaries, and PARTIES than at concerts. As for live, they don't get much more live than that, Amigo! Regards..

I know squirrels have a bad idea, storing for the winter. Where do you think the rats look at night. Where do the owls wait for supper? Where the squirrels bury their stash. Who is smarter the squirrel, the owl or the rat? Who wound up being suppe...

30 to 50 watts seems to be all I desire
What about the song 10,000 watts? Sure made Noriega give up.  I stay at 25-35% 60-75db. Mercy the wife will punch it. I grab the Rabbit and boogie. 90-100db. Nelly Furtado seems to trigger that with her, Me I'm more of a classical guitar guy with...

China Smina, who cares. I don’t. I use every part of their plan for my advantage not theirs. I didn’t learn how to speak Mandarin, but I do pretty good with Spanish. I’m working on my French. What is that telling you? I’m not worried about any glo...
