    Enough space? I'd settle for enough money to buy them (and live with them in my cramped listening area )

    ROTFL

    I sympathize....but with a significant other who is a redhead, not an option...she would have no issues with the money, just me bringing them into HER house...

    As much as I grouse though, wouldn't trade her for two blondes. Not that I wouldn't fantasize about it ...God I hope she never figures out my passwords....

    OT. There are redheads and there are redheads. Imagine working for this one - The old man and the redhead - The Globe and Mail .

    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    This thread is going into unintended places (pun intended). I was offered 6k for the pair of we 142a's. Reasonable?

    You are spot on. They ARE hard to live with...

    But I've been with her since the mid 90's...i. Started out as a tenant in an apartment building ( little one) I own, then employee, we didn't start dating till after a couple years...

    There is no way I could start over with somebody else after all the work we've done trying to tolerate each other...we still fight wars, just no nuclear weapons...

    And I am probably not the easiest in the world to live with...

    Donmain blocked here at work.........what kind of photos are these?

    To Critical1ear, if someone offered you $6K, I bet they are worth more.

    Ron she's a pro model, not my redhead, the other one. So may be something objectionable there. I took that line out in the interest of not putting anyone at risk. To my eyes at least my girl is gorgeous. And honestly, that's the only set of eyes I care about.

    I agree may well be worth more than the 6k to get back on track...OTOH, a bird in the hand...
