Jon - the house photo you shared is in Georgetown proper. Our farm was (and still is) halfway between Lexington and Georgetown where they subdivided the farms into 10 acre farmlets around 1900. The farm victorian was built in 1903 and was quite deteriorated when I bought it and over the years restored it to fine fettle. Good place. Horses were my first love, and I bred my daughter's salt-of-the-earth pony to a son of Secretariat for her Pony Club mount. Wildfire spent his lift there, and it spawned an upstart audio company. There's always more back story.

JAFant - you asked about future models in the queue. I have concentrated my efforts on the 2.2. Next I will address the 3/ 3.5. My priorities include rescuing models in danger of obsolescence, and the 3/ 3.5 are geriatric. It will be a big challenge in that the tweeter and midrange are no longer available. But the woofers are strong players and built like tanks. Of great interest to me is the textbook sealed second order low rolloff - tight, quick, clean and musical. I hope to pair that with a matching subwoofer for seriously good low bass.

Thank You for the Audio history lesson. Always good to read about growing up in a house filled with music- I did as well.
There is no substitute.

Happy Listening!

I just returned from a quick visit to Manhattan.
Today's adventure was about seeing the Beacon Theater, Blue Note Jazz Club and Village Vanguard.  Funny thing- there were flyers on the venue billboards  dated back to March.  Perhaps I can catch a show next month? The city streets were bustling with pedestrians running/walking.



Happy Listening!
