hi yogiboy. maybe reread my posts as was some humour and thought i was chatting with nice people, if strangers. i try to think of strangers as friends i just dont know very well yet. also read my reply to you above. what i would say is my post was in a forum for speakers, so you saying you thought i was an internet troll is a very odd and, dare i say, disingenuous thing to say. your post was obviously offensive. i think you are correct to say that a person may well not have been being genuine and honest, but why would you feel that you need to defend the world from someone like that? even if i was the sort of saddo that looked for fake sympathy from total strangers, i would need laughing at and ignoring dont you think? when you doubt someone's sincerity/integrity on their gofundme page, i think you should be doubtful. when person is asking for speaker advice, i think you might be nicer as it's, er... advice for a speaker!!! engage brain, then speak/email/etc. it's for the best. g
advice re old shelf speakers
hi all. hoping for some guidance. i am after a pair of, probably old, shelf speakers as cost is a major factor. how they look/condition unimportant. just need to be able to handle all sorts of music and be LOUD! i care for my mother as has dementia, so funds tight. all good though, i just have to be creative and do the research. example, i have a pretty decent old technics midi separates system eh600 which i found on gumtree for £50 in mint condition. perfect. i have run audio to it through a good quality optical out from tv to a fiio k5 pro dac/amp then line out to line in on the technics. now volume nicely boosted and sounds good and clean as also quality leads and upgraded 4 wire type speaker cables. for v little spend it does a decent job, but i love my music so always looking for more and i feel my neighbours really need to listen to more slayer, rush, jinjer, etc. the technics speakers are pretty decent but now struggling a bit with the added oomph i can now get out of my system. had no real idea where to start, then thought there may be some wonderfully helpful people out there with the knowledge and patience to help me. fingers crossed and thanks v much in advance if it's you. apologies for the long post. gerald

i strongly believe you should wait and find a pair of cerwin vega with the almost indestructible piezo tweeter. As a DIY project, you could start by purchasing Cerwin Vega drivers off ebay UK and use your cabinets…slowly replacing drivers as you can afford and they become available…not the perfect textbook approach but worth a try w constraints you have…. You could do similar w Klipsh horns and drivers loaded into your cabinet..Heresy might work Finally, you are a saint for caring for your mum. |
hi tomic a novel approach. i will have a think. thanks for mentioning mum but rather funny as i had a response earlier from yogiboy saying i was terrible for making such a thing up, but apologising if he was wrong! some people... she lets me smoke indoors, eats whatever i cook, doesn;t drink so my jd is safe and happily sits with earplugs with me watching slayer, jinjer and devin townsend videos at ridiculous volumes. she's a legend! cheers. g |
please do give yogiboy a second chance. i have been thinking that you should also try to find a UK based forum to ask your ? ( I am assuming UK ) Try NAIM forum and ask for ideas or referral to more appropriate forums. local knowlege of used market in your home country essential. Pretty sure my Quad ESL 63 would puke playing slayer best to you and your go with the flow rocking Mum. Jim |
i have manual and says crossover freq 200hz, 8khz. is this a clue or is there somewhere i should look re if crossover is active?I might be wrong, in page 6 of the manual there are Low and High speaker output connections on the main unit hence a active bi-amp configuration? http://pdfstream.manualsonline.com/4/492c1423-244d-4176-9d0e-91ffd1ffbdf0.pdf |
