we enjoyed you in spirit if not the flesh Cal - and that's a lot of either - I think there was still some beer left over, Daniel and Dana's valiant efforts notwithstanding

2 most frequent comments among the regular nut-bar contingent were:
"what would Brother Cal do " - actually that's not too hard to imagine
"ain't the same without him"

Scott - yes, it's probably hard to make the 88Wk sound bad - but clipping the 5wpc ACA at full tilt boogie would do that.

Sure, dude, just let me finish these beers - I'm drinking for two, ya know

Good one.:D

even with only 5W of ACA power on the mid/tweeters

Kept certain old men with itchy volume fingers from really cranking those suckers.;)

Anybody keep a tune listing of what was played at the front of Dave's? The guys where ripping flac's as the CD's came out of the player. I'd like to get a listing of what Bands/groups where played.

What I can remember from Daniel's playlist:

Koop - Glomd
Powder Blues Band - Doin' it Right
Dave Bruebeck Quartet - Far More Drums ? (from Time Further Out)
Pink Martini - don't know the track title

Well J, if you're referring to the Eminence 12LTAs and the RadioShack/ Fostex FT17H combo, I'd take several of the other offerings even from those that I didn't build - if for no other reason than size. For example, AFAIC Eric's black faceted two-ways ( driver compliment I can't remember), or Dana's Koss MTM powered monitors ( even with surround falling apart on one of the 4 woofers) delivered far more of the detail and musicality that I look for.

For "big", I'd take the bi-amped Alpair 12PW/7P MTMs over the Eminence combo in a New York minute - just never been a fan of the PA drivers as hi-if sound

That's what makes this a horse-race - there is no best

BTW, nice work with the long lens - to catch the top of the canopy, that one shot had to have been taken from the top of the driveway
