    That's seriously good -- especially when they start bringing the shoes and hats into it. lol. But they got those other passengers on the train scared/worried. :D

    Or the beer?

    I can't believe it took 25 posts for someone to mention the shoes. Good call.

    Bass used to be one of my favorite beers. I think I stopped drinking it for no real reason at all other than I got distracted with all the new beers. Is it still around? I should probably revisit it.

    Yes, it was my favorite beer beverage to pour when I was a bartender.

    This is bass. A Klipschorn corner speaker.
    I have one that was built in 1950. It's so efficient that I once played a transistor radio through it, just because I could.

    That sounds like the DJ competition that Q entered before he had to kill Tupac to get the juice. Also, Millennials (19 - 37) are probably the only ones still listening to this for their MFA dissertation.

    That's an old Belle! Classic cane grills and birch veneer. You're a fellow after my own heart. I'm a big Klipsch fan. Not everyone loves their sound, but I always have. My old Klipschorn could provide music for a block around without worries (except the locals possibly calling the police!), since they are a pair of horns that will go as loud as you can drive them. The folded horn in the huge lower cabinet, and the big horn on top for the mid and high range.

    The newer ones have a tweeter added above the original horn. The large Klipsch speakers can be and often are modified in various ways, but mine is the original 69 year old monster. I inherited it from my father, who just had the one, unfortunately. Space is a problem, as is placing them in a room. I've never added a second. The odds of finding one to match it are nil, and the mods required to match it to a newer one have always been more extensive than I've wanted to deal with. Not using it right now, but have at different times over the years, sometimes as a subwoofer. A friend of mine has a pair of Heresy III's with the cherry veneer, which are very nice. Smaller and easier to place.

    Used to ride around with my cousin when he had his 10" kickers installed, along with his 30sec anti skip discman(lol) velcroed to the center console and we would bump Techmaster and Enigma so hard for that bass. Good times.

    When I hear "old school bass" I think more like Bootsy Collins:
