Nice to see you chaps over here.  I participate at Stereo.net.au cause the guys are friendly, informed, and just as crazy as the rest of us.  Plus, tennis is a popular topic.  Lots of jazz and classical lovers, too.  Right up my alley.

MrAcoustat- are those knives for when somebody tries to steal your audio system?

MrAcoustat- are those knives for when somebody tries to steal your audio system?

No those knives are there for when i ask my guess what they think of my system, up to now ONLY positive coments wonder why. 

[jimdgoulding]

Mr. Acoustat, some of the sweetest recorded music I've heard in my life was delivered via 1+1's with some Spectral gear and a Linn analog front end playing one of my own recordings, Mark Levinson's ONE.  It was an epiphany.  You're a lucky sot.  It's no wonder to me why you've kept those for 27 years .  I am a former owner of Acoustat Threes and that's the reason why.  I miss them madly.  But, I can't complain.  In my modest sized room in my present home, my small system serves me very well. 

[MrAcoustat]

Hi Jim, one of the reasons i own the 1+1s model is because i live in a condo and don't have the room for the Spectra 6600s these belong to my friend Jocelyn he is the one that rebuilt mine with all steel frame they can be seen in my Flickr photo galery here !!!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/mracoustat/ with many other nice photos here is a picture of ME with my friend Jocelyn's 600 pounds speaker.

[jimdgoulding]

Wow, dude, good thinking bout your frames!

You can't get away with just saying something like that here. With a system like that the crowd DEMANDS pictures. 

BTW - Where did you buy the drivers?
