Giving up on Power Race, and going SET?



Has anyone completely turned around and went back with "primitive" audio components. Set and Horn's? I listened Avantgardes and they completely changed my outlook on whole stereo hobby. Unfortunately very good horns are rare as the price of the Avantgardes indicates. I would like to hear from the enthusiasts that went back to basics! Thanks!

Chevy II, '66 or '67 I'm guessing, 496 I'm told, plain white and very stealthy-looking, and if that's your garage interior in the photo, one hell of a neat'n'clean well-outfitted shop...

Still no De Lima, I may have to proceed on some assumptions without him, but will give it through tomorrow...
Zaikesman,

It's a '67 and a 406 small block Chevy. It is my garage but neat'n'clean is a sometimes thing!! Thanks for the kind words in your reply email. Regarding the windshield wipers, or lack thereof, I can pop them on easy enough but they lift from the windshield at the track and act like they will be torn off. The hood does the same thing. Being fiberglass it lifts and shakes something awful at trap speed. The Boise area is high desert and rarely rains. It's a very nice climate here if you like mild weather and close access to snow.

Alright Alex, give us your theory. I'm getting tired of waiting for De Lima to respond to your email. My curiosity is getting the better of me.

Maybe we can discuss it while we're waiting for De Lima to respond.
Yeah Patrick, I was wondering about that number, whether you'd bored it or what, but I guess either you typed a 9 instead of a 0 or my eyes are going - don't know, 'cause the email's been deleted now! :-)

Twl, I'm actually starting to become glad I've delayed now - some more time to try and digest the implications of the technical appendix at the bottom of the article (which is frankly over my head) has got me beginning to think that maybe the particular inconsistency or incompleteness I thought I detected in the body of the article is answered or addressed in the appendix. I don't know yet, I'm trying to do further research to educate myself some more, but I'm holding off on any accusations of a "smoking gun" for the moment. I haven't gotten a reply from De Lima yet; he's the one I'd really like to chat with right about now, and I don't think I'm gonna turn myself into an EE overnight. :-) But I will say that further consideration has me thinking that one of my assumptions is probably incorrect, and I'm modifying my approach. When I've got some things settled in my mind, I will certainly be happy to discuss both my thought process and my ultimate conclusions with you, but am begging off at present - still thinking, still researching. Regardless, there are still some aspects and implications of both the theory and some statements in the article that I will post about later, independent of whether I decide the theory is likely to be valid or not. Sorry, that's the best I can do right now. :-( But like the song says, we've got all the time in the world, and I'm taking some of it.
Hey Z: Discretion is the better part of valor!

Frankly, I hope you come up with something earthshaking. I'll be able to say...."I knew him when he was posting at Agon."

Sincerely,
I remain
