Congratulations on the retirement, but also on the 47 years! We don't see that much anymore, and it may be rarer than a long-marriage. Working in one place for that long, especially of you're not in the owning family, is harder because today families don't carry on businesses...they sell out.
Forget Portillo's if you are ever in Chicago, head to Elmwood ParkWas craving some Italian beef sandwiches (from my childhood in the Chicago area), then a few videos later ordered a box from Portillo's even tho I don't think I ever went to their shop particularly....
A little salty and the rolls weren't so fresh but the memories came back and my stomach is so happy....but think I'll just make my own next time, tho.
To be honest the TV itself sounds is pretty exceptional for a flat pannel. The Seismic 12 Sub makes up for those tiny Superstat Speakers and actually sounds quite good. Not, it's not my Persona 3Fs with my JL Audio Sub good, but still goodNice TV.
But...
Ummm... Houston... we have a problem.
What Speakers?
Nice. And it even has a phono input!
Very interested to see how this works. If it's good enough to replace your 4400h, it'll be good enough to replace my 4300h in my theater. Granted, I am using the full 11.1 capability so that'll be a difference.
I have these. Solidly built and reliable connections.Roll over image to zoom in
Blue Jeans Cable Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable, with Welded Locking Bananas, Conventional (Non-Bi-Wire) Terminations, Grey Jacket, 10 Foot (Single Cable - for one Speaker);
Had to get some 10 foot cables to replace my 6 foot Audioquest Type 4 or Sewell Silverbacks with 10 foot runs. I didn't want to pay anywhere near the $$ for any Audioquest products. I like the Sewells ok but they were terminated with setscrews and I wanted soldered. Got these slightly used on amazon for just a bit more than 10 foot runs of the Sewells. And these are supposedly a welded termination. We shall see how they work out. (I do not expect any kind of sonic difference as these seem to be well made cables)
Those are locking connectors and I use the same ones; they are not welded to the connector itself I think. They may have a welded plug on the wire which fits into the connector, which are how the original WBTs are I believe, but the actual connection is still inserted, not welded to the plug itself.Roll over image to zoom in

Where'd you pick it up at?
I was quick to get in on the initial batch of AVScience pre-orders. More shipments look like they'll be several weeks to months away now.
If there like the ones I’ve seen and used myself they use a gold plated ferrules that are crimped on the twisted pairs then inserted into the plugs and tighten down . I borrowed a friend’s crimping tool to make mine it really mash’s the leads together to make a cold weld it really helped to tighten down the set screws up on the plugs . These are really nice cables when done just takes a little time and trial and error .
BJC uses ultra-sonic welding for the terminations.
I knew they were doing it, just didn't know they could do it with the locking plugs too. Looks like they do.
