[amulford]

That was good. Some of those turntables were out of this world. I could only wish...

[wingnut4772]

That's insane

[amulford]

You got alot of balls... Oh, wait a minute....

[wingnut4772]

You got alot of balls... Oh, wait a minute....

Ha!:D

I thought I was crazy with how I obsess over my set up. I feel better now.

[disneyjoe7]

Love the look the spouses gave when a dollar amount was given... Just Beautiful. :)

[amulford]

Yeah, that was they couldn't go out and spend...

[Early B.]

Am I the only one who thinks those guys are too old to really enjoy all of that gear? Just can't imagine them maxin' the volume and rockin' out on those systems. Classical is OK, but sometimes ya gotta rock, dude!

[amulford]

For real. At the end they were kicking to some Who...

Classical don't rock?? Au contraire mon frere.

Pick up Mahler's 5th and tell me THAT doesn't rock.

Then, pick up the 1812 Overature on Telarc....

[amulford]

I'm askeered of that Telarc "1812 Overture". Don't forget Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyrie"...

[BlueMDPicker]

Thanks Danny. I fully respect the passion these guys have for the music.

Oh yeah, I can see you grooving along with your air guitar and bobbing your head like Van Halen when Mahler's playin'.

[BlueMDPicker]

Before there was ever air guitar, there was air conductor.

[shack]

Classical ROCKS....and Rock is classic.

It's all good!

Cool film and cool gear.

BTW -- I took your advice and ordered it. Now I gotta get me one of those little sticks so I can play air conductor...

[Midnite Mick]

Your never too old to rock!

They do what they do for the same reason that we do/would if we had the means. Because you don't hear....you feel.

Were those a pair of Usher D2 horns in there?

Great vid....thanks for posting.

[hearingimpared]

I got chills from that video, if I hadn't eff up in the early 90s I wouldn't be far off from those lucky bastages.

[Dennis Gardner]

I've linked Jean-Yves Kerbrat's system before on here, but it has been quite awhile ago. His system is the pinnacle the ACA boys...........although the whole club has a large number of nice systems with just a few $$$ invested.

Just watched the film myself (I posted the link when I was at work).

Wow!! Lots of horn-loaded speakers....JBL (the black refrigerator-sized ones), Tannoy, etc.

[TroyD]

EarlyB,

Eh, whatever man. A real symphony doesn't need amplification to blow you away.

Listen with an open mind.

Hi all,

Thanks very much for your comments about the documentary. :p

Here is another link @ http://aca.gr/event06-3.htm to a page that explains everything about the film's genesis, links to the systems presented in the film etc, etc...

The film itself is also embedded at the bottom of the web-page! :)

Enjoy

[mrbigbluelight]

Let us not forget, "Fantasia".

[amulford]

Hello skaloumbakas. Are you one in the first row of thumbnails? Who made your turntable? What is some of the other equipment in your system? Amplifiers? Speakers?

[BlueMDPicker]

Hi all,

Thanks very much for your comments about the documentary. :p

Hello Christos, and welcome to the forum.

Enjoy the music!

[george daniel]

I'm askeered of that Telarc "1812 Overture". Don't forget Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyrie"...

+ 1 on both,especially the Valkyrie, however I prefer the version with Robert Duvall :D

Hello fellow freak!!!:p I enjoyed the whole film. It was well produced. Some of you fellows are about the same age as several of us at Club Polk and we understand a little more of where you are coming from....that is saying that the newer, whether younger or just starting out, are more into home theatre than 2-channel. Let's just say that there are several, here, that are on that same wavelength as you guys.:)

Have a Merry Christmas, Hanukah, or holidays,

Awesome video! I had a Jarhead buddy that was stationed in Greece in the early '80s. He introduced me to Uzo when he returned. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for sharing Danny.
