In Chicago that might be true. When I was at the education center
there we had a new disk drive show up (when they were the size of a
washing machine). I just started cabling it up and the manager came
running over and told me we couldn't touch the cables until a IBEW guy
got there. We still did all the work ourselves but we needed the union
guy there, on the clock, before we could start.

I guess that was the case with Harry's father-in-law, or something like that. Surely
he wouldn't have made up the 'professionally installed' part of his Bose story.

My boat and your land yacht are both bigger than Harry's pecker and it

Nothing outsizes his ego though. He and Trump share that characteristic.
Trump has justification. Krausie, not so much.

No, Johnny, I'm not a racist pig full of hate, as you are.

As for little speakers, I'm just not convinced how well they can defy

first heard them, I thought they sounded like what you'd hear in the
average four speaker car radio system...but I never told him that, of

Sounds like your father, God rest his soul, did two things wrong - fathered a liar
and didn't match speakers to the requirement. Professional installation of the wrong
speakers doesn't mean ****.

My father preferred a Hammond B3 with a Leslie speaker. My father in law

Krause, I will say it again. Normal people buy speakers that produce sounds they
enjoy. You, obviously, prefer speakers which have suitable (to you) numbers. What
your father preferred has absolutely no bearing on anything, except perhaps to lend
some braggadocio to your arrogant arguments.

Hey, it wasn't just a pair, it was an "array". Probably took three or four professionals to do the install.

Oh, I missed that. I saw an array of 901's once, in a night club in I Tae Won, a part
of Seoul, Korea. The club had six or eight mounted on the walls around the huge dance
floor.

My wife just took down about 40 Bose ceiling speakers.
I suppose that was an array.
I grabbed a few from the pile as they were giving them out.
Nothing special about them from what I can tell. ... but I am deaf

Which ones?
