| Physics of downward firing woofers "....actual experiences...." *G* OK...Agreeing with Erik @ 11:25, my modest bottom-firing sub is up against the wall. If I opt to listen to my front-firing speakers, they pass up to a pair of 12" +/- 15" above the concrete floor. They in turn pas... | |
| I'm wondering if I can fit this in my house "Replies from Serious audiophiles only...."Lets' see....the concrete bunker could go over there at the lot line. It'll make the 440 drop easier. Sound treatments will be easier to do, since you can build to suit...Your neighbors will kill you, y... | |
| Carver Amazing Ribbons Attach an ohm meter or any means of showing continuity to those leads. A light bulb and a battery will do. No reading = a break in the ribbon at some point.Beyond that, you will need professional help. Good luck. | |
| Is this an ugly speaker? TAS cover 10/2017 Looks like an updated version of a Dalek at rest...literally 'killer sound'.You too can put a whole new spin on 'death metal'....;) | |

| Best wishes for Tom Petty Good luck, Tom if you're still with us...I just got out of hospital Sat. 30 after TAVR for aortic stenosis, and more than happy to still be amongst all of us. Since TP and I are the same age, I wish my luck moves on to his space....;) | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I'm still chuckling over 'a gorgeous form of ugly'...There's a lot of that 'out there'...the MBLs' have been referred to 'alien fire hydrants'. and scrolling back through this thread there's been a lot slung at other units of various 'intent'...I... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers gdhal...that's the most apt comment posted so far. Congrats on cutting to the chase. ;) *5's* | |

| Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ? Well, I'll pause and take the 'long view' rather than a *tsk*tsk* stance. If y'all wind the clock back, I'd wager your first turntables were pretty crude by the lofty standards we hold today. Much of your first systems likely matched them, and i... | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come *G* Hey, Eric....good luck with this thread. ;) I'm just going to sit back and watch....I agree with your original post...well, more or less. We've got our 'differences', but viva la', y'know? | |
| Craigslist transaction went south... ...and then there's the idiots 'out there' that don't know how to operate audio gear that's more complex than a clock radio. And even then, some clock radios' need the manual to make them work properly...Case in point: I've provided a 'shop ster... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers ...and one finds oneself at the 'aesthetics' of the reproducer of the sound we seek. Speakers as 'sculpture', when the 'object of desire' needs to fulfill not just the qualities of recreating the music we love. Since it's a focus of attention, o... | |
