    Yeah. A jig might be made for it. Or, there's always, "Hey, Al, gimmie a hand here."

    Smile Cabinet finish

    I'm pleased to see that no one is mentioning or griping about the fact that GT's home set up doesn't feature veneered, wood-grained cabinets. They are nicely finished black cabinets, period.

    IMO, it's a good look. It's what's inside that counts.

    Unknown to me

    In this shot, what is the enclosure in front of the SK2-1000?

    Hey Don...

    It seems the rears have the 045Be UHF's connected, but the fronts' do not.

    cf:

    First picture is the LRear stack, and the connection wire to the 045Be can be seen snaking up the horn.

    Second picture is the rear of the LFront, and the 045Be looks unconnected.

    Idea what's going on...?

    One question I've had, what are the dimensions of GT's HT room, that houses all those stacks?
    I wonder if my room would be big enough for such a system.

    I noticed that as well and was also wondering why the 045Be was disconnected.

    I also noticed that Greg has an excellent DVD collection (at least in that one shot), most of which I too have.

    I've gone over it too many times now. I feel like a broken record.

    Wasn't it Giskard who mentioned recently here somewhere that Greg Timbers has the 045Be off and let the big horn/driver combo do the whole job?

    Oh well.

    And just when exactly did I specifically ask for you to explain it to me?!

    Besides, it was a general inquiry to the general public here on the forum, aka - not directed to you.

    Wow...I sense tension in the room.

    I'll settle this once and for all.

    The reason GT disconnected the 045Be's...

    ...His dogs asked them to. They're the only ones who can hear 'em.

    To be fair I have noticed the information scattered here and there and it should be consolidated. I'll update the other thread Don referenced when I have time. I just don't have a whole lot of time to devote to blocks of text right now. I'll probably cover the newest plans as well. I still owe Don a formal article on G.T.'s system.

    No, it's my fault - I have been increasingly intermittent here and missed it. I noticed other's comments about it, but could not find an answer (i.e., why the rears are connected but the fronts are not...).

    Answerless , I will drop it. Don't really need to care anyway.
    Bye...

    "Seems" may be the key word here. We don't actually see the connection, just the wire (left?) in place.

    This system predates the new Everest and G.T.s experimentally using them without the supertweeters.
