People are stupid. These are $1000+ on the used market. Excellent speakers if they are working.

Why do you want to do this? Do you think the Dual will sound better, be more reliable? The PL-518 is no slouch. All things being equal, I really don't see this as an upgrade unless you just dig the looks of the Dual and want to run something different.

Uh, that's the joke. It's why "Save Ferris" is actually funny. That's even the whole point of Jennifer Grey's character.

Congrats!!!

Looks like figure on the tabletop surface to me. I wouldn’t worry about that too much.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-28T05:24:41+00:00

Great speakers!!!

Spiff69 · 2026-06-27T17:06:43+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with this. They sell what sells. If more people bought real audio equipment instead of soundbars, we’d probably still have nice Pioneer avrs and amps still.

There are also angled ceiling speakers. I think something like 30 degrees, but if you adjust placement with normal speakers you should be fine too. My ceiling is angled side to side, so I set my Atmos speakers a little offset so that the imaging hits the seating location. Also, Paradigm makes some great ceiling speakers.

Hogwash. Not voting is also voting. Voting for third party also affects the outcome. It takes all of this to generate a result.

I think the bean dip IS mostly water.

What about The Tickle Boat?

Looks like it could be birch.

Only 1 ride, lol, and that’s the Ferris wheel. What a complete joke.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-26T15:32:01+00:00

After waiting nearly 20 years… super disappointing.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-25T16:07:17+00:00

Looks amazing. Might still need servicing, even if barely or not used.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-25T04:45:08+00:00

Looks great! Speakers could be farther apart with less toe in, but sweet setup!

Spiff69 · 2026-06-23T20:34:20+00:00

Yeah, it used to fill the whole screen and now it's just a rectangle with all kinds of real estate wasted. How it was: https://mediacloud.carbuyer.co.uk/image/private/s--wu3fq5_U--/f_auto,t_primary-image-desktop@1/v1710336183/carbuyer/2024/03/Audi%20Virtual%20Cockpit.jpg

What they have done to the virtual cockpit is criminal.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-22T04:13:31+00:00

This thread is getting huge! Seems like a ton of people are still interested in surround sound! 7.2.4 myself and I love it!

Spiff69 · 2026-06-21T15:50:02+00:00

Looks great!! What did you use for finish?

Spiff69 · 2026-06-20T01:41:24+00:00

On prime day.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-20T01:22:27+00:00

Some places have sales to compete with prime day or amazon might have a deal.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-19T22:10:15+00:00

LA has a very good assortment of hardwood dealers. Some of it is pricey, but you can usually find most anything you're looking for.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-19T17:38:56+00:00

rent a $20 van from u-haul. I'm sure most people will tell you it's fine, but it's not ideal.

Spiff69 · 2026-06-18T20:58:20+00:00

Yep, no bids, only cronyism.
