The mid / high array close in.

Yes,

I get more excited about playing them now.

They have broken in a bit now and with the X Aleph (class A) driving them the presentation is utterly transparent.

For those die hard fans of the 43XX vintage monitors, the 2307/2308 and 2405 slot have not gone out of fashion...very sexy according to girlie.

Hard to pick the blue here, but in ambient light the varying color tones add a nice mood.

You, sir, are drunk.

I too have had fits of ectasy stting in front of my 4345's, and have also said some curious things, but nothing as outlandish as that!! We're all participating here, sharing what we can. I certainly deserve nothing such as this! I'm no electrical engineer :shock: and can't touch half of what y'all go on about here - hell, I can't even get the dang paint right!

What a hassle - I now know what it takes to get men into space...

Spent another few hours with the Paint Guy yesterday afternoon, and either he'd been on a bender the night before, or, he's one o' them daily liver testers. His breath was inflammable...

Anyway, we went back to the first batch - the best match yet and the one he omitted an ingredient from - and rebuilt. It is now perfect. Touch-ups are indiscernible on vintage baffles. Most importantly, HE WROTE DOWN THE FORMULA CORRECTLY!!

So, Ian, there will be a tin to take home with you. It is a slight shade / colour tone improvement - subtle, but for those DIY'ers nothing but perfection...

Giskard, there'll be a tin headed your way next week, and to any others pm me...

Actually I had just one beer,

But who else would mail a 3rd can of paint 1/2 way round the world?

See you soon.
