A subwoofer that can keep you cool at the same time. Can't live without one of those suckers. Be sure to order 2 or 4 so you can balance the room modes properly.

JMD54 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Chris Based on the size and shape of you room the Alta Audio Celeste FRM might be a speaker worth looking into. http://alta-audio.com/collection/frm-2/ If your not familiar with them or haven't heard them before, Frank Van Alstine just got a pair into his shop in the last few weeks and I'm sure he would be glad for you to stop by and hear them.

rando Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Wondered if you have any interest in exploring the state of your decision making process. Lift a few veils, artfully direct a fan stream to raise one edge of the shapeless covering anticipating a grand reveal, remove one or two layers us Minnesotan's are famous for requiring, riddle us with lies and innuendo, accidentally insert tantalizingly leading yet unrelated confidential documents displayed in a personal photo on the Summer intern's social media account du jour, induce a panicked frenzy to secure one of a select list of choices before they are terminally sold out, bring the devout to their knees with heads bowed so you might be inspired to deliver a message ungirdled by the pendulum of pockets that are laboriously laden, go into some off the cuff free association on varied minutiae circling your conscious?

I should receive the speakers between July 1 - July 5. More information to follow. Just ordered something from Amazon yesterday (non-audio-related), which is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Articles say they're going to drones for some deliveries in the next few years. This morning I was reflecting on how instant gratification removes that wonderful sense of anticipation that's part of the joy of a purchase. So you'll understand when I say "The wait will be excruciating. Enjoy the wait!" 🙂 The Computer Audiophile and Superdad 1 1 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.
