OB was a delight... in so many ways! Like OB, I am not only an "audio guy," I am also a "car guy," and OB and I had many "conversations" about the wonderful (?) world of Porsches and Corvettes.

He was a treasure , I'm glad that I had the good sense to tell him so before he left us. Rob

[quote user="Cut-Throat"] [quote user="djk"] "tweeters pretty much last." I think the K77 sounds like a nail; bright, but no real high end. I would replace it before blowing big bucks on the networks. [/quote] Depends on the amp . [/quote] Absolutely true...

[quote user="Cut-Throat"] [quote user="Audio Flynn"] The thread about what people did for their systems this year made me laugh. Upgrades you avoid one year leave discoveries in the next.
