    I think Carl hacked DK's account. :D

    You guys are just jealous because you don't have the technical skill required to perform leading edge speaker mods like these.;)

    Great googly-moogly... the whole time I was reading that, I kept hoping it was a joke. I haven't laughed that hard in months. What a shame though. Who in their right mind gives SDA's to a 13 yr old to experiment on? My son is 14, and pretty bright, and I'd NEVER consider doing that. Oy!

    Oh the horrors. I'm sure he'll regret doing that someday. At 13yrs old and with access to power tools he should have better parental supervision. I haven't seen anything that absurd since some nutcase used his 2.3's for building supports.

    I'm glad someone finally caught that the culprit (if he is telling the truth) is only 13 years old.

    He's got a lot to learn, but I've got to believe this will be a valuable lesson and that somehow he will end up restoring those 2A's to all of their former glory.




    By the way, who is posting as DarqueKnight? The commentary doesn't resemble anything I've ever read posted by Raife.
