I love reading all the questions people send him, and he always responds politely.  What a great guy.   But, as I was reading the Q&A, he says the paint on these amps cost $5,000.00  holy shit!!!  5 grand just for the paint!!    I hope he gets some serious cash for these, just to break even.
   Beautiful amps.

If I had that kinda money to spend on these amps I'd rid myself of most of the other stuff I have...but I simply don't have either the budget or willpower to get rid of stuff like a TFM-75!!! I freakin hooked on the collecting part...OCCD...It's a way of life!!!!  :o

If I win the auction, that's what I am going to have to do, sell all my gear so I can pay for them.
I would love to keep it all, but there is no way I could afford to purchase the Sevens without selling my Cherry 260's, 425x5, C-19 Etc

You don't have a hair on your ass if you don't buy it immediately~

There you go again trying to get me in trouble.
My Bride has no idea all you have talked me into so far.  She just thinks I have a radio or something out here.

To that end, just can't decide my next biggest need (other than money).
Things sound OK everywhere.
I believe the next thing I sneak in the should be some really big speakers for the RedNeck Bar.
Until I know what they are, buying amps is out - I hope  :-X

You know where there are some really nice Klipsch's real close. You can work out the corner deal. I say you get those.  8)

I know that.
Maybe I will.

The khorns need to become part of a corner.  I have looked at how guys built an enclosure for them.
I am lazy.
Sometimes you want something less or more just because you want it for no real reason.

LIFE IS SHORT -

Today I think I will only be happy with a buy on used LaScala II.  The closest ones right now are in mid Fla - too far.  Maybe he will me me in Ga  :D  Are you up to a road trip ???
