And I could have said "Burger King", "Wendy's", "7-11", "Bank of America", "That gas station out on Route 15". But that is all irrelevant. Those speakers reminded me of trash cans and I made a silly joke about it. Jeez Louise.
The food at McDonald's isn't simply "McDonald's". That's just retarded.
It's a well known colloquialism. "Haven't eaten McDonalds [food] for 14 years." Food is implied. Do you think I'm referring to the brick and mortar structure of the building that I haven't eaten?
To pointlessly nitpick apart my original statement over "incorrect" grammar really says something about you.

FWIW -- I don't think you'd be very happy with the presentation afforded by LaScalas. Tom Brennan has famously likened them to the dulcet tones of a Skilsaw.
They're very aggressive in the treble and while they offer the dynamics of horn loaded bass, the enclosure is much too small to extend very deep, so they are lacking in low bass. They're fundamentally PA speakers (and were sold in utility cabinets as such).
If you want to go the broadband, all-horn-loaded route -- cut to the chase and get a pair of Klipschorns. Even the current production K-horns (even after a recent price increase) are pretty cost effective relative to modern audiophile loudspeakers.
They are ahem rather large, and the classic K-horns require corner placement to load them properly (there is a current version that includes an "artifical corner" and is
more flexible in placement) but hoo-boy, they can do dynamics. They're also highly tweakable. A whole cottage industry of "Heritage" Klipsch speaker improvements/tweaks grew up, and still exists.

Perhaps, but I bet they would hold a lot of garbage and you could stack a whole lot of trays on them.
Anyone else watched the new Netflix documentary on Stanislav Szukalski?

Hmmm......seems some folks are a little reluctant to cooperate. Sure hate to see the forum get out of control like they have in the past
