Anyone have any experience with the Tunami GPX-R ?
Tvad, Assuming it's just the connectors which are different what do you think of the cord ? How flexible is it ? Thanks 
Village Vanguard session with Bill Evans
Ghosthouse, I think the use of space can be very moving and sometimes less is indeed more. Some people like Count Basie made a living out of it. Others (Pops) used the implication of notes ( not playing them but playing in a way where one expects ...

TVAD, I thought that the gpx came standard with the 046 connectors with a special red barrel and modified plating thickness. - Jim 
Village Vanguard session with Bill Evans
I think the village vanguard recordings are fantastic. Why ? Well it's not because of the number of notes played or " needed". What a curious concept. I have no idea how many notes are needed to express ones self in any given situation but if ther... 
Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical?
Yes science (theory) and experimentation are necessary to get you to where you need to go. Theory is a good starting place. Mounting into the wall (soffit) is an option and can be tried but you also have to factor into the equation the room length... 
Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical?
Shadorne, I think it depends upon the distance from the rear wall and the construction of that wall. Frequencies below about 45 hz or so pass through typical sheetrock walls and so no cancellation takes place. Therefore speakers more than 6 feet o... 
Low capacitance interconnect??

Well of course your right Dhaan but SF actually uses the 'transducer as a musical instrument' implicitly in their advertizing. In sense they "voice" the cabinets. The crazy thing is lots of people like this. What can you say? THEY think this is mu...

But Dhann you are assuming that eveyone purchases their speakers for same reasons that you do. They do not. They purchase and enjoy them all for their own reasons. They may not want faithful recreation of the recording on the disc. They prefer 'so...

Dhaan, I used to be purely in the objectivist camp like you. I could never understand Wilsons appeal based on their measurments. Somewhere along the way I discovered that there are lots of things to like about listening to music that can not be me...

Chad, I appreciate your response. Yes protools is not the enemy per se. My wife at one point was studying studio production and we have several friends who do it for a living. All of them have protools and some of them still have the old analog st...

Chad, O.K. I think you and I use 'imaging' differently. I refer to the ability to properly and solidly place an sound in space. What you call imaging I call resolution or detail. This ability does vary somewhat from player to player. I have been "...

Hi Chadeffect, not sure if you can be serious about the cd 7's "imaging". In my experience 90% of "imaging" results from room interactions and setup. 90% of the remaining 10% comes from the speakers. I think you might legitimately claim that the c... 
Class A Amp
Gryphon antileon signature will put around 500 watts of class A power into a 2.8ohm load. Pass xa 200.5 will put 400 class A into 4 ohm or lower loads and the 160.5 320 watts class A into 4 ohm or lower loads. Heavy, hot and expensive all. Only yo... 
Two Subwoofers... Comb Effect
Thanks for the thoughtful answer Duke. Your posts are always well resoned. Reguarding your 1/2 wavelength remark I agree that you need to compensate for second order crossovers by inverting phase( 180 degrees available on most subs). Once you have...
