The Pass Pub: The High-End Off Topic Thread

You gentlemen still on the food binge?!

Can we go to architecture for a moment? Hey jacco, re. Frank Lloyd Wright, one of my heroes. I haven't seen the pottery house here in Santa Fe - it's in a neighborhood where the rich folks live - but apparently it is for sale for only $US6.000.000. There is a nice little slide show at:

Frank Lloyd Wright's "Pottery House"

(I did visit some other Wright houses here in the US: in Manchester, NH; north of Chicago; and Falling Water in Pennsylvania. Falling Water was falling down when I visited it, and they had strain gauges on the overhanging concrete slabs. Apparently all fixed now.)

PS. only a few more posts to 2011, which according to my calendar, is where we are...

Ahhhhh...... now to start off this dayz dysfunctional sputter 'n splatter - I have question for Mighty ZM. We know U luv Papa - do U play with his OB's for speakers - or do you have a perversion for other stuff - like GASP! speakers in box's? :eek::eek::eek:

BTW - my version of Frankenstein Omni speaker with ESS AMT1 and a modified Pioneer 10 inch mid woofer for mids and lows (will do 26 hz). Covers are off to see evil end of perversion. :eek:

now - my pet boxes ....

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/11044-old-scan-speak-drivers.html

temporary in living room ; considering size of it and almost 7yr old bunchofVartabunny daughter , I abandoned any horn box for my fave Sonido 8" FRs ( I had two pairs of them - ceramic and AlNiCo ) , and decided to use pair of EV 12TRXB ;

I got them stuffed , now they're on the way to Sonido for repair - complete recone ; when measured I'll decide what box , but I hope some sort of ML TL

last one pic is from net ;
