Although I have two feeders for them in my back yard there's never more than one sitting feeding. They never allow more than one at a feeder at a time. I'll have several staging on the fence or tree but coming to the feeder before the other one is done and flies away causes a mid-air sword fight. If one scoots in while they battle then there's more battles.
Right now they are feeding heavy for the long flight to the winter grounds -
I have a feeder like the one in the photo that I picked up in the spring to try. I couldn't get any hummingbirds, only ants and wasps that couldn't reach.
Wrong place?I disabled signatures. -

Just received my daily email from MD.
How many versions of DSOTM do we need?

Nah. I've had my eye on them as well as Salk Silk monitors for a long time. These are something I could more realistically get. Did a used pair come up? How much did they sell for?afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Yeah there was a pair that popped up today on TMR and promptly sold. $1,600ish plus $60ish shipping IIRC. Not that much less than the $1,900 MSRP.

DSOTM must be the ALL-TIME winner of the “how many times can we bang the cash register” album… at this point, it’s getting pretty old."Conservative Libertarians love the country, progressive leftists love the government." - Andrew Wilkow

If you ever buy a pair and I still haven't AND you decide not to keep them... if all of that happens to happen... dibs 😂
Salk makes some awfully purdy cabinets.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

I just looked her up. Man, she was super cute and hot back in the early days!
John, I vaguely recall a previous post or two - you're a big Tanya Tucker fan, aren't you?I disabled signatures. -
I have tremendous respect for her and what she has done over her career. She gets nowhere near the respect she deserves. I bought the album directly from her, as her FB page was offering the signed editions. This one will be going in a frame and hang next to the Staler Brothers, and Conway/Loretta.

She was a major prodigy back in the day, but she fell away from the Grand Dame crowd and into the outlaw scene that was coming up in the 1970's. Her affair with a very married Glenn Campbell earned her no favor either.

The Arizona Audio and Video club recently hosted a speaker demonstration of 16 stand mount speakers priced at or below $3,000/pair. Most of our competitors sent entries, including Buchardt, KEF, ATC, Sonus Faber, Tekton, Monitor Audio, GoldenEar, GR Research, Polk, and Totem. Attendees listened to the speakers throughout the day and were asked to list their first, second, and third-place choices. The BMR monitors received more 1st place votes than all of the other speakers combined, and 5 times as many as the next-most-popular speaker. You can see all the results here.

Does that automatically make them better? I'm not saying so but I've read nothing but good about them and it's enough to pique my interest.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

The listeners were just regular enthusiasts going by what sounded best to them?
I'd be curious to learn more about the criteria the listeners went by for some context, you know? Maybe some of the source material used? That looks like an interesting and fun time.I disabled signatures. -
Yeah that's why I wouldn't take it as gospel but even reading forum reviews of actual people that have bought them there's very little bad to read. After I got these Kappas from @daddyjt it made me want to hear a speaker with RAAL in it which is how I ended here in the first place. I'm sure the Salk Silk is great too (also designed by Dennis Murphy BTW) but it's double the price even if you get the BMRs with a Salk made cabinet.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.
