    Adds a nice zing in the treble.
    I hope the Tekton folks don't see this -- it may give them ideas.

    PS Hmmm... maybe I should do a resto-mod on my 7As?
    PPS In fairness, Polk did use those tweeters in one product. ;):#

    The purloined letter approach.
    Clever -- nay, artistic.

    At work we had a fellow named Arnie, an older gentleman, a man of many wisdoms, one of which was:

    "In France they call them 'Artistes'.
    Over here, we call them ***********".

    ...He kind of had a point. 🤔

    The solution there is for America to quit supporting overpriced sporting events and cancel their overpriced cable subscriptions, which largely go towards ESPN and the Regional Sports Channels. As long as people keep supporting higher and higher sports related pricing, the money will keep getting higher and higher for the players.

    Yep. Feel the same way about concert tickets too. Some of the people who complain about ticket prices are the same people who will turn around and spend $200+ on a ticket regularly.

    The only concerts I go to are the ones that are offered during Live Nation's $25 concert promotion week which happens once a year, usually in late Spring. This year, I managed to see DJ Shadow and Thievery Corporation. Both were on a list of shows I've long wanted to see.

    The irony here is that this sports deal is playing out against the backdrop of half the country literally celebrating the execution of a CEO for being a “greedy millionaire”…

    I’d hazard a guess that most of the people celebrating the execution wouldn’t mind seeing the same thing happen to the largest beneficiaries of the sports deal, too, just sayin… not sure it’s the example of irony you think it is.

    I think the professions of those involved in the sports deal are probably less offensive to the people you’re talking about, but the amounts of money involved in the deal are certainly disgusting, as mentioned…

    That’s a good deal for some good shows! Most of the shows I end up at are $50 or less, which seems pretty reasonable to me.
