Very cool. I see there are also a few "Soul" versions alsoI have the country version of this a old Marines Radio show
No doubt, with these speakers it is all about the room acoustics. I know the owner of Westlake Audio who is also the Chief Engineer. He'll be the first to tell you the same thing that you just stated. They were truly, as you would say holographic! Words cannot describe what I heard. Like I said when you get something like these, plan on another $500K for Pre-Amplification and Mono-Blocks. To say he is a perfectionist would be an understatement. Of course, if you could afford these, you could afford to have a custom designed room as well to accommodate them. Not something your going to put into your standard "living room"... One can dreamBlitz , they might disappoint you for home use at that price, they are all about the flattest sound imaginable for rooms treated like anechoic chambers...outside of that type of environment they probably wouldn't approach what you heard in a treated room....conversely I've heard EV QRX cabinets with Powersoft Amplifiers ( 3,000 very clean filtered AC power watts a cabinet) on an outdoor gig and they approached holographic for imaging and perfection on vocals , rock solid kick etc..I then heard the same rig, same band in a theater in Westminster Maryland the following night and due to room acoustics I couldn't exit the room fast enough...I guess my point is never underestimate a great listening space..

Giving this a first listen tonight, from a one of December 1970 show at the Matrix in San Francisco .. The perfect place for these two forces to join..A full report on SQ and artistic quality forthcoming...I hope it's good as I sprung $16.00 for a brand new copy today..

Looks like they are using the JBL Cats eye in the set they have pictured on Thebes's home page. Very cool!

Hey Brother FOH,By Crosby standards I'm somewhere in the 3 out of 10 area on this one, and it's not the Dead on a great night either ...Cowboy Song is interesting but the cheap bootleg feel, uneven playing and overall quality is pretty dissapointing for a legit release, with a nice package.
, but make yours milk my brother , we don't want to catapult you into the hospital with 3 beers...Hey Brother FOH,
BTW, you are the one that recommended to me that Croby.Nash Album. It is great as you said it would be. The sonics as well. Since I have everything ripped to EAC FLAC - same as or better than playing the actual CD, I merged the two CD's into one folder. It's a great album that just grows on you more and more overtime. Merging the two CD's really makes it more enjoyable:

Thanks for this FOH - it is a great addition to my ever growing, now over 2TB, High-Res FLAC music library!
LOL, you're right about that Brother. I made the mistake one time and drank just one beer. It triggered a massive CVS attack and put me straight in the hospital.... Live and learn for me.... No biggie, like you said - replace the beer with milk and while I'm at it homemade chocolate chip cookies . Then proceed to dunk..., but make yours milk my brother , we don't want to catapult you into the hospital with 3 beers...
I must admit, I wasn’t prepared for the rxn that occurred with the goof off, had I read the label though... lesson learnedAlso as I posted 8 months ago or so peanut butter is an excellent product for reconditioning and lessening scratches on bad CD surfaces....
I have gotten near brand new results on Turntable dust covers with Mcguiers liquid Car Polish and liquid car wax....if you rub long enough with a damp soft rag you end up with like new...
That’s it indeed. I like it a lot actually, very easy and practically invisible in place. If I ever buy a new TT, I will make the trip over to Memphis to meet with George and listen first hand to his PolyTableLooks like this is the dustcover you're using. Interesting design..
