    And J, you can get by with much cheaper knives. I bought exclusively based on fit. The MAC is cheaper. There is a price point worth stepping into though. Below that restaurant depot knives win.

    What would you consider that price point?

    Keep in mind I am a huge fan of Cutco, and Wustoff (spelling??) in the past. I won't be buying them for a few years unless something odd changes.

    I still hate that buying is cheaper than renting down here,

    Wustof. I dated a girl whose mom was the head of sales at the time, i believe she was promoted since then but she gave me a 17cm knife... LOVE that knife.

    That is a garlic knife. Nearly useless size...

    With a little skill you can use a 28-30cm knife for the same tasks.

    For what i, and her husband (a gourmet chef) use that size knife for, it's more that enough of a knife to cut what we (usually) make. Seems pretty presumptuous to assume we are carving turkeys or slicing a ham with that tool. Thats just the knife we feel most comfortable using for most of our projects.

    NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS EXACTLY IN THE WAY OF PERFORMANCE, but I'm not giving up just yet. Trying to reach out directly to the manufacturer in France at the moment. There's always someone (tech/designer/employee, etc...) somewhere that stocked up on hard to get items as they were being fazed out. It's usually just a matter of finding the right person to ask the right question.

    For now, I'll make a couple inquiries at PSI about the possibilities.

    Thanks again for the suggestions!

    It means it wont perform like it use to. If you send it in to get reconed try to get the new ts parameters or else you will not be able to make a proper box for said transducer.

    If focal can't help then it looks like your going to have a frankenwoofer (hybrid speaker). Some companies like PSI might be able to help you out but it won't be the same as directly from focal.

    Short answer, no. If you have some dimensions to work with, im sure someone can do some modeling to show you how they will all perform in that specific box. What kind of respinse are you wanting to achieve, and at what db level?

    Anybody use Spotify for tunes? If so what attracts you to it?

    I love to build playlists. Kinda reminds me of making mixed tapes. But am limited to what I own. Would be sweet to have a mobile app that let's you build playlists for free or cheap. I gather that's what Spotify does is why I ask.

    I use Pandora, Sirius and my personal collection currently. I also have pocket-tube app on my phone my daughter downloaded. The pocket tube sucks for downloaded play lists.

    I have never used Spotify, but used to use Playlist.com all the time. It recently was bought and shut down I believe.

    It depends on the music, pandora for rock, bluegrass. Spotify for techno, rap, and reggae.
