Ron’s New System
Secondly big drops in ceiling height can be a big issue. I’ve never experienced one like Ron’s, but I have heard a big ceiling drop height right in front of the listening position.

Ron’s New System
Lagunda, I would actually make that assumption, not that it would be horrible but certainly not at it‘s best.

Hi Bill, back in 2019 I think, when I heard your system here in Austin, you told me at the time, of your desire to upgrade to an Air Tight Opus One. So curious did this comparison change your mind or not?- soliver

Alright this recipe is available at Perry’s Steakhouse, it is a little bit of a tricky drink because you really have to have the particular garnish for the rim and tequila, otherwise the balance is way off. Dekuyper O3 is not necessary, but thankfully it is way cheaper than Grand Marnier or... -

I am a bit of an aficionado of good cocktails, but when I find a good drink at a restaurant, I will visit as many times as it takes me to get the recipe. Whether that is telling me or me having to just watch critically, thankfully must bartenders are willing to give out the info after some... -
