Thinning the herd

[Sir Thrift-a-Lot]

I put it out there, it's up to them now.

Back to our regularly scheduled topic... Aren't those 710s beautiful?   

Someone here should buy them from me.

[Sir Thrift-a-Lot]

And the JBLs really are pretty decent.   And the EPIs are a bargain.

I had a response to my ad today.   It was a four word message that read "you talk too much".

It wasn't me as I'm not a trouble maker, however I wonder if that was in response to the thread you started on CL regarding those JBL's?

Thread title

" Looks like someone is bitter...

I had to laugh when I saw "scroe". That is just a thing here, isn't it?

I think he is just sore because he never had a scroe. quite assumptive of you wouldn't you say?

[Sir Thrift-a-Lot]

I never thought about that.   I piss people off with enough regularity that it could be any number of people.   Still, though, I don't know how someone from AK and not from here would connect me to my CL ad.   I didn't post anything about it there.

I know I bother people sometimes, but I sincerely almost never mean to.   The only time I ever meant to bother someone here was when I gave it to Sheevs about a racist post he made.   That's the only time it was deliberate, but it's not the only time I've done it, I'm sure.

I just thought the AK post was funny, and never heard "scroe" until I visited them.   That's why I posted it there.   Thanks for the insight.

The cl  ad is down now so I couldn't read it. I don't visit AK; I thought the whole "scroe" joke was a joke here only. I guess it made the rounds elsewhere haha.

STaL...you could walk into an empty room and piss someone off

What does scroe mean?

What does scroe mean?

it was in regards to a craigslist post where the seller said he would not accept low ball offers so that someone could brag about their "scroe" on their favorite audio forum.

It seems that way, but I honestly don't understand why.

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Here is the link to the AK thread.   It contains the CL ad in question as well as discussion of the term "scroe"...

I don't know how long "here" has existed, but Scroe has been used on AK for many years.

[Dicky]

Does not seem like anyone here would do that.  By the way, very nice speakers.  Good luck with the sale.

I saw someone joking about it on the shout box yesterday. Thanks for the references, I didn't realize it had been going around on AK for a while.

I had a response to my ad today.   It was a four word message that read "you talk too much".   That may be so, but at least I don't hide behind an anonymous CL address.   If it was one of you, man up and tell me what your issue is.   I'm a reasonable guy and can probably learn something from you.   TIA.

Probably SHEEVS

I thought the "scroe" thing was funny also. I had no idea it was a thing elsewhere, just figured it was your typical c-list misspelling.

Back to the important stuff, those ADS are incredible, and yes you will drop a ball lifting them.

I have been refinishing mine the last few nights. sanded, 3 coats of watco, put some dark stain on the edges to cover up the putty, gave it a torched edge look (cheesy but effective). going to put 2 more coats on tonight and call it done.

I was absolutely blown away by the sound of these, running them off a NAD 7020E (20 wpc), i cant wait to hook em up to some bigger power and allow these to open up.

 Personally i think your nuts for selling them, great frikin speakers imho. If i could get my asking price (or close) for the DCM's i would be on my way over to buy them.

Good luck with the sale Mark.
