Colin is a great guy and a pleasure to meet. Those of you who know me also know I could talk someones ear off. Well, Colin survived that too!

Nice to meet another Ohio audiophile.

Thanks for the visit Colin!!!

Ron

Well, I thought I knew a thing or two about audio equipment - until yesterday. Ron was a most gracious host. I spent about 4 hours with him, and he did indeed show me the museum. Let's just say not many people use speaker cabs as bed frames because they have run out of room elsewhere.

We spent most of the time just sitting and listening to tunes and talking (OK, Ron did the talking) I was pretty much in awe of his system and the music it was able to reproduce with such ease. I's gotts to get me some horns.

Here's a picture of Ron in front of one of the three systems he hooked up. I cannot wait until the next time I get to visit

PS. Don't EVER ask this guy for directions

Next time I might be able to talk some of the other local audiophiles into coming over so I don't monopolize the conversation and you could get some other viewpoints on this great(and frustrating at times) hobby.

Of course, some say it can consume you and make you fill the house to the top with gear/speakers!

Of course, I don't know what they are talking about! LOL !!!

And yes Colin, directions are not my best forte, sorry if I got you lost!!!

Ron

My kids are out of school in a couple of weeks, so my schedule frees up greatly after that. Again, just let me know and I'm there. Maybe next time it won't be raining so hard (and I'll have the window fixed.) Right after I left your house I went to the UDF on Noe Bixby and got gas. Luckily there was a real nice man there that gave me directions (straight down Noe Bixby and right on Main.) As soon as I got on I-270 the bottom fell out of the sky. I must have seen 200+ lightning strikes (some pretty damn close) by the time I hit I-71.

Thanks for everything.......Colin

Looking forward to you and others helping me clear out my house to make room for my primary and secondary audio systems.

I have plenty of cabinets folks, stop by and help me get rid of them.

Ron

With the Pi crossover, the resistor network makes it easy to disconnect the horns without tunring the amps off as it loads the crossover when the horns are removed.

As long as you don't short the wires coming from the crossover HF output there is not harm to anything.

Disclaimer: Don't do this on any other types of crossovers, especially 2nd order as this could cause problems back to the amp.
