I believe it was 500 dollars plus tax total. What impressed me was that I
ordered it on Monday afternoon at about 3PM and it was delivered the next
morning at 10AM. I hadn't specified next day shipping. They just sent it
out that way. They seem to be a first rate outfit through and through.
Really enjoyed dealing with them and the set is as you say, unbelievable
sound for a unit that size. I've had full system stereos that were not
nearly this well made and had this quality.



Hi Dudley,

Back in 1976, while I was assigned to Korea, I purchased a pair of the Bose
501-II speakers. They are still hooked up to my secondary music system,
putting out terrific sounds just like they did back then. Never a hiccup
with them. Bose does build stuff well!!!!!

I do not care for them as a part of a home theater surround system (tried,
got something else) but for just listening to music, they cannot be beat.

Glad to know Bose continues with their great equipment line.

Happy New Year,
Paul

All the best for the New Year,

Dudley Henriques

Kevin,

Yes, time with family is the best Christmas gift. My daugher flew
home safely from Denver the night before Christmas. We drove from NY
to CT to spend the last Christmas get together with my two sisters'
families yesterday. The weather was a bit iffy for flying. One of
sister is moving the West Coast after the New Year. Changes are
inevitable parts of life. We lost our father two weeks ago. The
wonderful memories of spending time with him last Christmas, last
Thanksgiving and other visits throughout the years (made more
frequently the last few years with the use of of our Cardinal) will be
with me forever.
Cherish the time you have with your loved ones.

Leatherman Crunch

That is what the doctor ordered! The complaint I always have is that blades
don't lock, in most convertable tools. I don't feel safe using a pocket
knife blade that does not lock. It does lock in the crunch tool!

In my stocking I got a stick of Old Spice High Endurance deodorant.

Do you think my wife might be trying to tell me something?

I also got a Lord of the Rings 2007 calendar.

Nothing aviation-related. I am deprived.

- Rod Machado's DVD "Aviation Humor", Part I
- Microsoft Flight Simulator X Pro for the Kiwi
- Some more screwdrivers, pliers, and cordless driver bits for my son
to lose

Nothing specific for Atlas this year, but we just did the 496 panel
dock/XM radio thing, and had to buy a new "Mighty Grape" fuel truck --
so that's enough of an aviation upgrade for our Christmas season...

How 'bout you? Whad'ja find in *your* Christmas stocking?

Oh, I forgot...

One of the presents I got my 17-year-old daughter is "West With The
Night", by Beryl Markham.

Great book. She's already halfway through it, but is snowboarding up at
Bridger Bowl today with friends.

I still have a couple pairs of 301's from the early 80's. They still
work fine but I believe the foam around the woofers has seen better
days. I have the Bose Aviation X headset and it is the best I have tried
(better befor the price).

I also wouldn't buy Bose for my home speakers. I have a preference of
Paradigm speakers for that. The Paridigm Reference series speakers
totally rock!!

Santa brought me a Zuluworks Gazelle Flight bag. The two detachable end
bags and adjustable interior dividers make this a nifty and flexible
flight bag. Now I have the carrying capacity for lots more "stuff" that
Santa can bring me next Christmas.
One of these days the weather might cooperate and I can take the bag for
a ride and see how it works on the right seat.

Merry Christmas, one and all!

Handy too.
