  1. What's your dream system?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    When my brothers and I bought a system back in the '70s, the AMT-1s were the runner up in the speaker department, losing out to the Infinity Monitor speakers with the Walsh tweeter. Probably mostly due to bass response. Nothing else that we were able to listen to made the list. Of course that was in Iowa and our resources were limited. Interesting that Nelson Pass worked for ESS, as did his wife.

    I've always been curious, but biased against, the horn speaker systems. I keep thinking honkiness. I'd need to listen to some good ones with some good neutral acoustic material such as classical. I could be all wet. And they don't meet WAF factors whatsoever :rofl:

    And yes, Steve, all the PS Audio stuff kinda surprised me. I didn't know they were still around, and never thought their stuff was all that well thought of.

    One thing I am toying with buying is a pair of Schitt Tyr monoblocks to replace my Odyssey Stratos.

    Work event this week, with one of the better parties they've thrown (and they're all pretty good, this one at Reggie's Chicago). '80s theme party (though most of the crowd wasn't born then), with a co-worker's Tom Petty cover band, who were very good!

    Person of Interest

    Just started watching this a couple of weeks ago or so. I think I had caught episodes of this when it first came out, but for some reason hadn't stuck with it. I'm up to Season 4 now, and it has kept my interest, even if certain episodes have an implausible feel to them. Enjoying it.

    That game was hard for Niners fans. 

    Yeah, agreed. I've always been a Mahomes/KC fan but really enjoyed watching the Niners this year (and had liked them a lot back in the day with Montana / Bill Walsh). Since this was a no-lose for me SB, and given Purdy and Kittle both have Iowa connections (Kittle actually lived in my home town for a year or so), I was rooting for the Niners to win. Not sure if they would have won in reg had they not missed that extra point, but I thought that might cost them. Maybe they made a mistake not signing Robbie Gould?
