The Best Speakers in the World!
@hysteve ​​​, there was an included active eq box that got put into a tape loop or pre>amp if available.  This later gave one a first taste of active equalization that in use acted like a crossover for 9 identical speakers. And, Yes, you could... 
The new dynamic in speaker pricing
At the level of OMA speakers, the 'art' of the appearance of the unit means as much (if not more) than the performance of it. They may sound terrific, but at that $ level they Must Look the Part doing so. They would demand being in a space that ...

@tannoy56 , I certainly was, despite myself. ;)  And ego is not necessarily a Bad Thing, to flip on M. Stewarts' admonition. We're just having a good time...your excuse?  Hmmm? *S* Nothing exceeds like excess, anyway... @widmerpool ...I don't t... 
Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright
Damp that space down before any speaker swap.  The space is acting like the interior of a speaker, so some creative room treats will tame it from being shrill. Sq. root of 450 sq. ft. suggests a square space with the ceiling 1/2 that. *Ick*  Pad...

Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa?
...that covers 'blue'.... Something old, something new, And something borrowed: Trampsta, Chunky..... ( Hush....you can't do that, either...)  
Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa?
One of my early diy Walsh's cones got attached and interfered with the voice coil. Dis- and re-assembly would have likely ended up as a worst fail, so I began to poke 'n prod gently... A 'repurposed' paper clip. One of the other successful ones... 
Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue?
@jeffseight ...To eliminate yourself from the equation, have your ears checked if you haven't.  Give you a 'baseline' as to what your personal response really is. ;) I finally broke down and resorted to aids...I hadn't noticed that birdsong had b...

*G*  We could delve into angels on pinheads as well, since there seems to be a lot of them around of late. ;) Pinheads....Angels are the 'us' that stoop to assist others, be it the puppy in the dumpster or the stranger in obvious bad straits that...
