The one draw back of that speaker is that it can only be powered by a special amplifier made by my least favorite amplifier maker, Crown/Harman.:mooning: "How appropriate" i'm thinking.:laffingassoff:

Looks like a Plug-In Female Contraption

Looks like the perfect amp for it. Thanks!

Crown's 25 year guarantee to belch fire and distortion then after 25 just distortion.

That's some good reading - This is not your typical "marketing" brochure.

I got a good laugh!

They are a bit more honest then most spec sheets.

I like the "absence" control. Having heard far too many stereos with presence, it seems like a good time for a little absence. Count me absent.

Damn! Someone else has a copy of the full line catalog! Seriously, I wanted Tod to post this a long time ago, BUT WAS IGNORED. Only, Its good that someone else is getting a laugh out of it. I laughed for more than a few seconds when I got that catalog sometime about 1970- or so. I cant even remember where I put that page now.
