Hi Bill,
I was just going to comment on the antenna as well! ...looks just like something my Dad would have made back in the '40s.
Probably just the thing for the receiver in your TV cabiet.
So, how do your 4 pis compare to the new speaks in the foreground?
I ask because we have just moved into our new addition which has a new listening room (which unfortunately, I was unable to design to audiophile standards but at least is larger than the old den). The plus, besides size, is the availability of corners which may be good for a pair of 7Pis. I hate to consider gutting the 4s to make the 7s but "nothing ventured...".
A few other questions: what are you using for speaker wire these days? The royal wire you sent me was darn good! thanks! And are you still enthralled with the EL-34 SE amp you spoke of a month or two ago? I'd love to try a more powerful tube amp than my Bottlehead 2A3s since I love the powerful sound the 4s can produce given enough juice. What were those SE amps? KIts? or DIY?
Hope your feeling well soon; I know you've had a few bouts with health issues over the years. -hope its nothing serious.
