  1. I actually had a Cher watch! But I broke it while turning the dial backward. My thinking was "If I could turn back time".
  2. This would be my first watch after striking it rich. And second...

    So, it's fair to say that you were baffled?

    Yes, I know. OMA spells it with 2 Ls on their website.

    ^ My dream TT also has a slate plinth. The same slate as the "Monitor", as this TT is put together by OMA as well... It is SP10 based. I would love to see your 401. And agree that the slate would be a very effective, as well as beautiful baffle. Now, a wealthy man like yourself could probably commission OMA to build you a smaller version, using the smaller AMT and an 8" midwoofer. PS: I thought Oskar Heil was spelled with one L, it seems that OMA misspelled his name (and I followed suit).

    I'm going to guess them to be about 22" wide x 26" tall. They are large! I'm imagining sitting atop a desk, no riser would be needed. I'm not sure that the name "Monitor" should be taken as desktop monitor. I think you'd want to be at least 8' back. Those AMT units have a wide dispersion but sound best further back. At least with my old ESS's.

    The subject is always your sex life, even though it has its ins and outs.

    The AMT unit is the best midrange I've ever heard! The bass of the ESS speakers was a little loosey goosey but I'd imagine the OMA's would be glorious.

    PS: That's a solid slate baffle. It's called aptly "Monitor". I can't find a price but if I ever win the lottery...

    I like the industrial look. It's true to form, and I believe that a more stylized carriage would only detract from the beauty of the wooden horns. And that is where the beauty lies IMO. I think there are better looking versions though... Personally, I'd choose Cherry wood with the Black frame. And it looks like OMA has a new speaker! Want! Without research, it looks like a Heill AMT with a 12" woofer. Having owned the ESS AMT 1D's, I can attest to how good that combo can be. EDIT: Indeed it is a Heill AMT unit and 12" woofer. However, it is not an NOS AMT, but rather a new unit, built for OMA in Germany. Nice!
  12. Love that song, but I have to admit that I love the original best...

    At $280,000.00 + subs which are absolutely necessary, I can only fantasize about them. I must say though that the Walnut or Cherry versions are the only way to go.

    Deals

    For all of the woodworkers out there, today is Woodcraft's $5.00 router bit sale. It's today only and it seems to be limited to round-over bits. Still, I have bought their Woodriver bits every time they've been on sale for $5.00 and they are good quality. Once upon a time, they would put all of the Woodriver bits on sale and I bought two of every bit. Anywho, good deal on good bits. You can't have too many router bits! https://www.woodcraft.com/pages/mega-deal?utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=CLICK+HERE+TO+GET+YOUR+$5+BITS&utm_content=Round+Over+MEGA+8-14&utm_campaign=08/14/2017&_bta_tid=08148749985476418981254995224204604707964626270302431069479654784759418504708232644223065465917156875783&_bta_c=1orlanck4v3prc9amdtna9pz5xqca
