  1. "And somewhere in this painting lives a happy tree"
  2. You can all feel better about your speeds.
  3. I think Marc said that he got them from a gentleman on the AV123 forums. It's a one man outfit for sure, but his attention to detail is really great. I believe he's working on a larger version with a 10" IIRC.
  4. Update. I was at Marc's this last weekend, and got to listen to the corner horns. In short they sound fantastic. Such a full, weighty sound from a single 6 1/2" driver is a real surprise. They really throw a large soundstage too, and without a narrow sweetspot. I could be very happy with these just as they are, but Marc wants to fill in some of the lower octaves. Actually the bass is there, but not in large supply. So we set out to assemble us some 'paint by number' subwoofers Friday evening. Within 45 minutes we had both subs glued and assembled, save the outer pieces and the drivers. This guy builds a beautiful kit, that the most inexperienced hobbyist can easily navigate. The next evening we finished them off in short order, and even took the opportunity to play some 50 Hz. and 20 Hz. test tones through them. These long throw 7'' subs move some serious air through the tapped horn enclosures. I was gobsmacked at the amount of low end, visceral bass. We did find a small leak in our glue joint on one sub, and it created a different frequency note when not plugged. The pressure really was unexpected for me, Marc of coarse was not at all surprised. I'm sure he'd already calculated how far they could throw a ping pong ball at X Hz. I believe he delivered the corner horns and subs to the painter for prep and paint before he left today for the land of Crumpets and Crowns. Then we'll finish them off with some solid Wenge trim. Stealing your thunder again Marc, but I had to talk up these brilliant speakers.
  5. You have to be a special kind of moron to shoot a moose with an arrow at that range.
  6. And the dry counties aren't really dry. You just need a member card to drink. There's always a way to circumvent the Baptist. Louisiana has drive through Margarita vendors. To accommodate the sealed container laws, they put a piece of Scotch tape over the straw. No shit!
  7. Good for you Bullwinkle!
  8. Happy Birthday Larry! Celebrate with a drive by shooting, they'll never catch you in the WRX.
  9. Is it just me, or does that sound more like Ella than Billie Holiday? It might be an early recording, but I'm more inclined to think that's a mistake.
  10. I can definitely see that resemblance.
  11. Ah yes the incredibly rare Ballet tree. The crotch wood is coveted by the serious wood worker.
  12. I've always thought her a very attractive lady, but she's incredibly striking in those pics. I have to say, give her a boys haircut along with that stringbean body, and I'm all over that!

    That's just because you're the Mac Daddy!
  14. Happy Birthday!

  16. ^ This! My favorites have always been Ella, Sarah, Linda & Willie, in no significant order.
  17. I've encountered smaller penises.
  18. ^ touch?
  19. If you don't know you have a child missing for 9 hours, do you think 10 children might be too many?
  20. I guess I should have prefaced by saying that I'm in the market for a more portable headphone. Nothing other than a good stat rig would pull me away from the K1000 at home. Now I'm curious about the Citiscape Downtown. They're even smaller and of coarse quite a bit cheaper. I guess I should try to audition the Creative Aurvana as well.
  21. Awesome pic! I would totally wear that outfit!
  22. Happy Birthday to my Sister from another Mister!
  23. Tyll, loved the Fidelio L1, you were right on the money. I will pick one up as soon as they become more readily available. Sounded great driven by the MiniĀ³ in my DAC.
  24. Awesome Jim and Peter!
