Red herring lost in a forest of speakers, memories

I think most people are going by your memory of a sloped design and a name like C5 or CS5. How sure are you about the name. Thiel has a model ".5" which is smaller than the rest, but its price is nowhere near your figure.

It might be useful to purchase a catalog of all audio products and browse through it, just in case something jogs the memory. Another line of attack might be to get some tech-savvy guy to look at your computer and find all of the web pages you have visited. Even your ISP has that record. :)

you may be thinking of the Gershman acoutics advant garde speaker, check out the gershman acoustics website. another possible company may be Avalon acoustics loudspeakers.

good luck!

Aktchi, yeah, I was thinking the same thing that people were going by my memory of a sloped design and the C5 model which I gave, and unfortunately it has seemed to be leading them astray in their efforts. This is entirely my fault of course, but I do have a vague recollection of those facts. So when you ask, "How sure are you about the name?", I must say not very, but then again, how sure are we about any of our memories? Ask a police officer or detective and they would likely say that most people's memory is faulty to some degree, but those who remember something are fairly confident of it and usually swear it is true.

I don't know, I am not sure about anything, but I just have the image of the speaker(probably sloped, maybe not) along with the model in my head.

And as for checking my computer and the webpages I have visited I thought about that(I actually went into my browser's history), but it would just be too tedious in that I visit just way too many sites and when a site link pops up in the same window, my internet browser may not, doesn't seem to keep a record(after I go back and move all around), of all the different pages I had been to. For example if I were to Google something and get to the results page, if I were to click on the first link and not like it and then press the left arrow to "go back" to the Google results page and click on the second link, my browser does not seem to keep a history of my having visited both pages, only the last one before I close the tab. I may be wrong, but I have checked before and this is how it appears to work to my understanding.

As for contacting my ISP, I have done that just for security/privacy purposes and they assured me that they did not keep track of the different sites I had been to, which I hope is the truth.

You say I could get, purchase a catalog of all audio products, how would I do that, from where? Also, what would it include, info for a complete listing of audio products? I was thinking though that here on Audiogon, they have a list of product manufactures and I was considering going through it when I have some time and patience. I do believe that the speaker manufacturer did have the word "acoustic" or "acoustics" in its name, but again, I am not certain about this. But it is somewhere to start looking, which is what I have been doing.

Anyway Aktchi, thanks for your suggestions I do appreciate the thought.

And Jim, believe it or not when I came back to check my post/thread for an answer yesterday to see who had responded and what had been said I was disappointed after checking out Thiel, but that immediately stirred my memory and then I went to check Avalon Acoustics certain that I had finally remembered what I was missing, but to no luck, no avail, it doesn't seem to be an Avalon speaker. Uhhhh..... I really thought that was it. I have checked out Gershman, and again no luck but thanks for the thought, intriguing, if a bit expensive. Finally, I want to point out that I forgot the name of the speaker model/manufacturer because I had looked it up a long while ago and seeing the price tag I thought it was out of my range, but now after having saved up a bit I thought maybe I could swing it or find it used because it just looked so damn good and enticing, matching my apartment's decor perfectly.

Ahhhhh.......................

Sorry about that guys, but the more I think about it the more I just ..........

Anyway, keep the ideas coming if you have any, and I will check them out like a good detective until the riddle be solved.

Thanks, the

Audio_obsessed_novic: I understand, we can all relate to such episodes. In my own experience the memory returns later, after I have stopped trying to remember. :)

That said, you should still keep trying to "triangulate" your memory from various sides. For example, even if you don't remember the name, was it long? Short? Common word? Foreign sounding? Etc. You never know what will jog somebody's mind. Although speakers are getting expensive, prices like $7000-$8000 still define a relatively small universe.

If it was sloped, that is likely to be time-aligned or time-coherent design. You could google those words and see if something looks promising.

As for the catalog of all audio products, I haven't bought one for many, many years, but they used to come out once a year.

Okay, we are going to keep trying until we solve this. In 2005 Tyler acoustics was getting alot of attention, front ported, seas drivers, many custom finishes. Give them a try, also I hope it was not the out of business now Meadowlark audio speakers. Let us know.
