So I got to visit Marvin today, swell guy. He let me listen to his Ushers - remind me again Marvin what they were paired up to some tubes... again I forgot what the rest of the components again. I also got to listen some Dali Ikon 8 speakers as well on SniperRex's Yamaha receiver.

Good sound coming from both set ups. Of course, Marvin's main Usher rig sounded quite sublime. Seems like a lot of the North Texan group are drawn towards Usher speakers.

Just wanted to let Marvin know that I appreciated the invite to listen to his rig.

Thumbs up!

    Tony, they would have to have one heck of an arm to hit a tin can with a can of Colt 45 beer at 10 yards. Would the Colt 45 can have to be full or empty for that trick?
