    I currently have a few pieces missing from mine. Hopefully by the end of next week I'll have music again.

    I swapped out the red face plates for black ones since I no longer have my 1.2tl’s.

    What did you replace them with?

    Well I have the L800’s as you know, but I picked up a set of 2.3TL’s

    Did you find the L800 to be better than the modded 1.2TL's? I know in my space the Legends sound much better, but recently I went down to visit Doug and my old 1.2TL's and they sounded better than ever.

    I saw Foghat live in a small venue in Seattle. They were about 20 feet away from us. I think it was 1986 or 7. I don't remember a lot of concerts from that era but this one I do remember. And what I remember thinking then was what a tight band they were. The musicianship was outstanding.

    Kansas did the same for me up close and personal in a little hole in the wall, in Charlotte back before the turn of the century.

    Without the horn section....but still. Great performance and tight. I would have loved to have been a fly on your shoulder for that one!
