He says they're Klipsch. He said he paid around $6500 per speaker.

Thanks for the feedback Jake. As I said...lifestyles of the rich and famous. Great set up!!

It’s not just the rich and famous. It’s also us regular guys that like to listen to music without distortion. If I paid $60K for a new truck few would think anything of it. Yet if I were to spend $6K on a stereo people would think I’m recklessly spending.

It all comes down to priorities and where we place them.

I agree. I was just trying to rationalize buying a nice set of speakers.

I’m all setup to listen to Brewer games. I received an FM specific antenna today and hooked it up. Check that signal strength meter!

It has an adjustable gain and I set it specific for each frequency.

The overall height is one third the average frequency wavelength.

For voice I turn the bass down and loudness up with low volume. Bob Uecker comes in crystal clear.

That's awesome Gene. Congrats on the new setup! I'm guessing Tims hill helps with your reception.

It helps with FM but not AM. TV doesn’t come in very good with an indoor antenna. I ordered an indoor/outdoor TV antenna but it won’t be here for a week. What I really need is an outdoor one and up 50 feet. TV is straight line but FM will bend with the earth plus it will bounce off the atmosphere. At least that is what I’m learning. I’m reading forums and watching utube videos. I figure I have till fall to figure out how to get the Packers on the TV.

Hope you get the 50' mast. Never know; might also be beneficial if SHF!

[Sir Henry]

The 50’ mast isn’t high on my list. Getting a garage built is top of the list.

Totally understand that!
