Fuck, I blew a speaker.

[MadeInNewJersey]

lurch, ordered those speakers 2 days ago and they showed up today! damn, didn't even pay for the 2-day (or overnight) shipping options

$104 total, incl. s/h

Hooked up already, they look great (w/ my system) and most importantly, SOUND fucking fantabulous

I owe you one, thanks mate.

 

[lurch70]

fuck ... awesome deal dude ... break'em in gently ... and they'll sound even better.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

yeah, don't have much of a choice in that matter...the new tenants downstairs have a newborn, so I play nice (most of the time)

good man, with karma and that you could be rewarded with thoughtful neighbours when your good lady pops a sprog

It helps that they're super-nice people (and friends of my brother, who owns the 2-family house). I ask all the time if my system is thumping their living room.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

crappy pic, but this is how they fit nicely into my set-up

just think how nice a 46" TV will look between those 2 towers

That calls for a shitty 9/11 joke, or a shitty LotR joke.

house or senate? ... and more importantly ... did he enjoy it?

this has to be one of the funniest things i've ever read on RC

 

[dorian gray]

oooh and the wittle candwes on top ^___^

haha yeah man. i have candles on my speakers too but MY WIFE put them there

 

[lurch70]

this has to be one of the funniest things i've ever read on RC

heheh ... that might be very well be it ... but i later realized that, correct me ifI am wrong ... there is only a speaker of the house ... senate does not have "speakers" [/toomuchthinkingruinesjokes]

 

[lurch70]

nice setup Mark ... try to get those spikes on the bottom of the speakers ... helps with reverberations, especially on a barren wooden floor

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

yeah, I'll check the "spikes" out, but I'm not sure I want to put anything called a "spike" on my hardwood floor

also, just wondering, can speaker cable gone bad be the cause of crackling and/or popping coming out of a speaker?
