Got my first quadcopter. Bit of a learning curve but I've been flying since last Thursday and am already ripping around the house and enjoying the views through the FPV goggles outdoors. I chased an obnoxious Limpkin off of my roof with it this morning :D it was fun but sketchy because it's been pretty windy the past couple of days and this thing is tiny.

..picked the stands up last week - I drew up the design/specifications to have these built after I got back home.

^Beautiful.

..having a set of walnut stands made by a wood worker before I listen/set up.

Found a set - The price was good enough for me to fly to the Midwest and brave 0degree weather, stop by the Hertz rental, rent a car …. Then drive 11 ½ hours back through 5 snowstorms, closed Interstate Highways etc..it was pretty fun though.

Incidentally, I bought another set off of Ebay, which turned out damaged upon arrival. The price for these JBLs, Flight cost, Gas, Food, Rental Car and a one-night stay in a hotel was ALL less than what I payed for the set that arrived damaged.

Those are awesome! I had a set in the 80's I ran through Luxman seperates.

Great pickup.

i don't know jack crap about 80's high end audio equipment but they look awesome. those stands you had made are really cool too.

school me on why these are better than a newer set of bose speakers with a sub woofer?

[rcsoundn1]

Because Bose is just junk from china with the name on it. Their quality is really rediclous

Bose used to build/repair/refurb stuff in Hillsdale MI, until about 14 years ago when they moved the repair/refurb work to SC and new product to Mexico. Whats happened since then I dont know. Used to know several people that worked for them.

They kick ass. I've had various pliers and cutters from them in a professional setting for over 3 years without ever having to warranty them. Cornwell, Matco, and mac all resell them on the trucks for a markup too, they just print their own name next to "knipex" on the handles.

Can't speak to the reselling but I replaced my various SnapOn pliers with Knipex and never went back. The cutters are better, jaws and teeth are stronger, handle shapes bang on, they're light, the slip joint design is awesome.

High quality German tools and they're cheaper than Mac or SnapOn.

I've heard luxman/JBL and it's a considerably great combination. About to graduate from SS to tubes however.

I also have ELAC; it's the B5 and one difference in these and of what some speakers offer (and what I own) is these actually have a crossover for each Low, mid, high freq. No comparison with the B5s they sound like well terrible compared to the L112s..

JBL in general were the speaker/monitor of choice of a large part of very many studios for a very, very long time. Highly likely the favorite song you have was mixed using a JBL.

Dropping off materials for a 24'x32' "shed." Lol. Unfortunately the builders got stuck in traffic, didn't get the post holes dug in time, the inspector showed up, saw the lack of holes and left. Everything is pushed back a day.

I am very impatient at this point. Been years waiting for this.

Because BOSE has been junk for decades?

It's for lazy upper-middle class white people that want something they don't really have to learn about to get working.

[Kershaw]

That sounds like some edgy elitism.

There's a lot to be said for a good product that doesn't require any thought to buy or set up.

Shed? You got yourself a little barn there. Are you going to pour a concrete floor? Looks like metal siding and metal roof?

[MR E30 325is]

Jealous Kershaw.

We're building a 10'x12' shed this summer. Finally going to have a full half of the garage for myself.

Keep us posted!

I put up a 12x20 in my back yard. It’s big enough to put a car in but actually it’s full of e30 parts.
