Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers

Hello to the group. Thanks for all the informative and funny replies, but out of the 20 replies so far, no one has even mentioned the speakers! Guess i should have left out " the b word " in my post, No problem, i emailed the distributor and found out they hope to have their speakers at RMAF in Oct. I was planning on attending anyway, i had a great time at last years RMAF. I will definitely try some of the " b word " cutting boards as isolation shelfs and the Tang Band " b word " drivers too. I put non " b word " Tang Band drivers in the four doors of my car ( 4", can't remember model # )and i'm very happy with them, very inexpensive too. Thanks again, lets hear some more! On the lighter side, I had a dream last night that i was at a concert, it was 9,999 Maniacal Endangered Species performing and i was surrounded by, yes you guessed it, thousands of Pandas, they were not starving, but looked in pretty good shape(fat), most were smoking bamboo. I was offered some by a few of the very friendly Pandas, but graciously refused, not knowing what i was getting into, some Pandas that weren't smoking said that they had chewed some bamboo earlier for a more potent high, but said you have to wait 2 to 3 hrs before peaking so you have to plan ahead. I must have gottin' a contact high from all the second hand smoke, wow , did i have a buzz going! The band never sounded so good, even without their female singer who left the band years ago to pursue a solo career. I felt a little light headed, so i went to the bathroom to wash my face with cold water, and when i went to dry my face, there was no paper towels or toliet paper, just leaves! On the way back into the venue, i stumbled and fell to the floor twice, getting a few very painful splinters in my u know what! The rest of the show was great, with 3 encores, the Pandas went wild! On the way home i decided to take the long way home to try to " level out ", when i walked by the local hi end hifi store, a place called Best Buy( they sell nothing but high end equipment, it's incredible ), i looked in the window and couldn't believe my eyes, a bunch of pandas had smashed the window and were in there walking all over the high end speakers and laughing furiously, they had little bandit masks on but i recognized some of them from the concert by the outfits they were wearing. Within hours, the police arrived, they were fat and furry and looked like...........well, they looked like policemen, except that their nightsticks were not black, but a light tan/yellow color,hmmmm? When the two groups clashed, pandamonium broke loose, the bandit Pandas ran off and the policemen sqeezed back into their copcars and also left the scene. Having had enough excitement for one nite, i continued home, went inside where my ladyfriend was chopping some kind of nuts or something on her new chopping board. We munched down the "nuts" and headed for bed. I felt so good and relaxed as we cuddled up "spoon style" with my arms around her furry little waist. We eventually passed out and in the morning everything was fine until i went into my listening room only to find my precious $50,000 Lirpa Labs model 1 speakers smashed into pieces, woooooow, good thing it was only a dream!

I have a pair of Pinyons and Unita subs. I have them on the Escalante stands 75% filled with Star Sound Tech Microbearing. The fit and finish on these speakers is top shelf. My TacT Millennium MKIII digital amp upgraded by Dave Schulte drives the Pinyons. The TacT also provides stereo subwoofer outputs. The Pinyons and Uintas replaced the discontinued Talon Khorus X MKII. Dave Thomas's review in stereotimes.com is right on for both the monitors and subs (see March 05' review). The Seas Ring Revelator tweeter is the best tweeter I have ever heard and for having only a pair of 6.5" woofers the bass is extended, fast and tight but not as extended as the Khorus (that is where the Uintas strut their stuff). In terms of musically and pinpoint imaging, the Pinyons compare against any front firing speakers out there and the Unita are the best subs I have ever heard. The Unitas easily integrated into my room and totally disappeared. For subs the bass is extremely detailed and fast. IMHO the combination of the monitors and subs far exceeds the performance of a long list of full range speakers I have owned. Definetely worth a listen.

Seriously, Where can I get a bamboo cutting board?
thanks

Shoe, Wal-mart sells them. Much nicer than the regular wood. Bamboo is thinner and harder. I'm so impressed with mbamboo cutting board, I may get bamboo hardwood floors put down. Who knows, maybe reside my house with bamboo too :-).

Hey Mike, Thank you, thank you, finally, someone who has not only heard the Escalante Designs Pinyons and Unitas subs, but owns and lives with them! Your descriptions are tantalizing, i'm exciting about hearing them myself at RMAF in October. I have a couple of questions, you mention a Seas ring revelator tweeter, do you mean a Scan-Speak ring revelator or does Seas also make a ring revelator. I checked the Escalante Designs website and they just say ring revelator in their specs, but their picture sure looks like the Scan-Speak tweeter on their website. Also i looked for the review of the Pinyons/Unitas you mentioned by Dave Thomas on Stereotimes.com and could only find a CES 05 report with one glowing paragraph. Is there a full review somewhere, i couldn't find anything else, no mention of a Escalante Designs speaker review in their archives. Thanks again for the teasing review, and also for not mentioning the "B WORD"! Regards, Alan
