I realize that I have been very bad about posting lately, here and elsewhere as well. As you know the entire summer has been busy and distracting and there have been many threads pulling at my time.
The last two weeks have not been busier, but they have been more distracted. I realized that I never even posted about the second Bard Music Weekend because my thoughts were drawn elsewhere almost immediately. I still have the notes. I might try to reconstruct my thoughts just because I too might like to remember. But then again it might be too late.
We did receive the newly rebuilt woofer’s for my old EPI speakers (last week actually) and I installed them last night. We have been talking about repositioning the speakers and rearranging bookcases, and so I had put off the installation. But it finally occurred to me that this remodeling is just in its early theoretical stages and if I wait we will never hear music. I don’t see how these speakers are going to be moved during the remainder of 2006.
Of course I had to test the stereo system. We listened to Gorecki’s Third Symphony, The Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, and it was spectacular. I had forgotten how good these speakers were. Oh I am sure they are not the world’s best speakers, but they are better than anything G had when I met him, and with the new Woofers installed, my 26 year old EPIs sound incredible! The deep base at the beginning had shivers crawling up my spine and I could feel the vibration in the floors and walls.
Obviously the woofers had degenerated over time and we had been losing sound quality without even being aware of it. What an incredible difference.
