[Vintage-Audio] KLH modular systems

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Bob,

I intended to mention this and forgot to do so, sorry. My brain is still in 
somewhat of a fog after doing the "Happy Halli-Days" special event for five 
straight, no break, hours!

The James B. Lansing studio monitor I have, model 4320, will blow the 
windows out of your neighbor's across the street with 20 watts of drive! It 
does not just get loud, it becomes intense! Like those new audio horn 
protection devices being used by some sea going ships. Whew!

Put one of these in your house, never have to dust again!
