Re: Picked up a set of 3.1tl's, Here I go again
@vintage dad while you have the drivers out, I can say possibly the single best upgrade I did to my 2.3TL's was the internal wire upgrade. I did that last and it really brought all the upgrades together and maybe that was why it was so noticeable.
I would seriously consider it if you are on the fence.
As far as the 2B's, I remember wrestling with a slightly bright setup and that's when I was using an AVR and a Denon 2910 DVD player. Once I changed that to a Marantz SA8004 (later upgraded to the SA8005) and the B&K Ref 50/ 200.2 combo the 2B's really sounded great, the slight brightness was gone.

Re: NC mountains
Ron, you are correct in that many folks were blindsided by this. Most everyone knew it was coming but this one came in with more intensity than most everyone in our area expected.
I was out on the front porch at 5:30 in the morning and was thinking that this would be no sweat. By the time I went back out on the front porch at 6:30? Yeah, I knew it was gonna be real bad.....and that's when I heard the cracks of a massive tree in our backyard uproot. Shortly after that, we lost power.
I'll take that loss and count my blessings. The horror stories that are still unfolding as I type are heartbreaking. The death toll will be unknown for some time.
Not a joke either. ^^^ They are telling people to stay out of the area, so rescue crews can clear the roads, rescue people and repair/rebuild the electrical infrastructure. In some cases, people will not have power for weeks, as the entire infrastructure has been damaged beyond repair or simply washed away.
This is a typical mountain road that has been cleared....
I know it's not technically cleared but it is for them right now.. It is like a slalom course, trying to navigate through the roads and it's not just up in the mountains. I see the same type of photos just 40 miles west of me. The destruction is unreal.

Re: NC mountains
Matt was able to get to communicate with me. He is okay. Trapped but okay for the moment.

Re: NC mountains
There was 3' of rain over the course of 3 days in some areas. At casa de Reitz? 14" within two days.
Greer SC is devastated. FL coasts in the big bend and further down than Tampa? Anyone who had a job on the first floor is now jobless and will be for some time.
Western NC and surrounding areas are all closed. In other words, impassable.
More to come but not tonight.

Re: NC mountains
I have a host of information and pics but I am still in recovery mode. Trying to get life back to normal.
Has anyone heard from Matt @HzTweaker ?
I hope all is well with him. Things are FUBAR'd to the west of me. We finally got power and communication last night. Been cleaning up and trying to get back to normal ever since.
If you have a love one you have not heard from? This may help...
The area is devastated. From FL to the TN/NC mountains. It's probably old news for the nation.....any news at all for those affected.

Re: Picked up a set of 3.1tl's, Here I go again
I did a discussion about the 2B's being bright 2 years ago. It was suggested that I step up from the .5 ohm to a .68 ohm, so I tried it. It's sometimes difficult to pinpoint what didn't sound right, but I can use a musical example. I am a fan of the Tedeschi Trucks band. They are from Jacksonville FL where I live. I have been to several of their shows and I have met them personally. On their recordings her voice is rather forward. When the 2B's were tl'd her voice was overbearing, almost harsh. I would fatuige quickly when listening. It wasnt that way on my 1C's, and now that the 2B's have been tl deleted her voice is so much smoother, but missing the detail of the RDO198'S. The 2B's are now a bit more musical with better highs than the 1C's, but I miss the bigger soundstage and bass of the 1C's. I am really hoping my 3.1tl's will pull everything together.

Re: Winter is Coming, how are you protecting your ride?
Had the car detailed a month or so ago, and when I wash I have been drying using Opti-Seal for some added protection.
