Well, at least they won't burn the kitchen down. We needed that last week in Chinatown. Did you know Audioville burnt to the ground?

I saw the AV display but they said the building was empty. They said there was asbestos in the old movie theatre and that all electricity was off.Gyro Gearloose wrote:Well, at least they won't burn the kitchen down. We needed that last week in Chinatown. Did you know Audioville burnt to the ground?
Was Audioville still running their business in there ?

Re: For lunch today: well dressed asphalt!
Not recently, but I always think, errr, thought of that building as the Audioville building. I didn't know anything else about it. Just that I drooled over many speakers there over the years... Always the same thing, I could afford the speakers, just not *have* them.eslapion wrote:I saw the AV display but they said the building was empty.

I remember dragging you there to listen to some Totem Acoustics Model 1s in the listening room to show you what a "soundstage" is. I think you were more impressed by the CRT HDTV sets they had. I wanted one of those too, too heavy. My CRT worship had its limits, I suppose.

Yes, I clearly remember. It dawned on my it was in that specific building when I saw the AV sign in the news.Gyro Gearloose wrote:I remember dragging you there to listen to some Totem Acoustics Model 1s in the listening room to show you what a "soundstage" is.

BTW, I did end up owning a CRT HDTV between 2010 and 2014, a Hitachi 34". Lost it due to the hospital incident...
