    Oh -- especially if so!

    I think (?!?) we're seeing a silver vehicle with magenta lighting... notice the lower parts of the car and some other areas in 'shadow' that look silvery-grey. the engine cover/fin thingy on the back, e.g., doesn't appear to be... ahhh... puce.

    Found some real old DIY PC pics. Water cooled overclocked near all SCSI dually, Epox MB IIRC. LianLi full tower, polished inside. Radiator mounted above PS :o , air intake ducted to side. I used to do water cooling gear reviews at some long defunct PC web site. It had a Cheetah SCSI HD, 10K RPM IIRC.

    It sported a DIY LED lit reservoir. Can't find a top view...

    Since the bag is dog food, I'm not quite sure what the take-home message is for this tableau.
    I'm thinking it might be:

    But how much of an Olympic-sized swimming pool would it fill?

    ... and would it be more fun than an Olympic-sized swimming pool full of nine-banded armadillos?

    When I was in college we nominated Bill the Cat for president and Opus for vice. We had campaign buttons and everything. Unfortunately Reagan won.

    Something like that. Only before my time.

    Found out Audio Analyst made speakers when I saw an ad for these little gems. But they are named Phasematrix. I saw the front corners and thought they matched my old subwoofer I've stored for ages. I was right. I think the sub is a B1. These were made from 1978 to 80 I think. ;)

    I met a great man over buying these. Best packing job I've ever received. I NOW know Audio Analysts made bigger speakers than these now. These are the Phasematrix M2s. I believe they have Peerless mids and tweets. They sound pretty darn good. B) They're supposed to have 5" woofers.

    Long, long ago I bought an Audio Analyst 12" subwoofer at Goodwill (?) and liked its build so much I've kept it for over 15 years at least. The sub has hook-ups for a TRIO system. 2.1. The system sounds well balanced across the spectrum and the sub can play loud and undistorted too. They're ( all 3 ) in like new condition too.

    Again, I spent a quite few hours listening and adjusting the bass on occasion. Positioning the little gems in different locations too over the past few days. Been having fun again. :p

    @SCompRacer - were those photos shot on slide? Rich color and contrasty!

    Just using my Canon SX 540 HS I bought years ago from Best Buy on sale. It's a great camera. I think it was 600 on sale for 300.

    It took those dragonfly pics and the Hawk pics I posted here in the past year using this camera.
    The 50X zoom is AMAZING too.

    I was shaking a tiny bit tonight taking some of the final picks but the anti-shaking in this camera is amazing.

    I took some sun-set pics tonight before the speaker pics and they turned out pretty good too.

    Tony, is that a horn loaded tweeter? Interesting. Too bad there's no way to access the crossover.

    That's the subwoofer port above the 12" woofer.
