Full Range Drivers
Yep, Donjr, I have Fostex FT17H Horn Super Tweeter and the original Audax tweet that came with the kit.As you've probably already read, the 98.5dB Fostex more closely matches the Super-12's 97db efficiency and only requires minor padding down to i...

Nemesis1218Will using an herbal vaporizer around hi-fi equipment damage amps, speakers, etc? If it's the Sweet Sweet Hindu Kush, who cares!!!

Pre and power amp for Vandersteen 3A Signature?
Antonkk 01-25-10 I know that Audio Research is the ideal amp for them but I would prefer solid state pre-power amp combo and of course preamp must have the HT bypass. Audio Research also makes quality solid state amps. My brother uses an ARC 100.2...

If jazz and vocals are your thing, then a widerange driver system is really gonna float your boat. If the Super-12 ends up being the one, shoot me an email and I'll cut you a great deal on the unused kit I have(w/ upgraded tweeters) 
Full Range Drivers
Great point, Paul. Of course, there are wideband drivers w/o whizzer cones, too. Like the Fostex FE-E Sigma range in C&C speakers(I own IM-Bens). But, as you say, there is always some limitation to every driver and design.I'm in the planning p...

Donjr, try and find some people within driving distance who have single drivers. You really should hear several different types before making the plunge. Check out The Fullrange Driver Forum, that's where all the fanatics hang out. Drop a post loo...

One thing that should be made clear is that "Full Range" is a bit of misnomer for the average listener of moderate income and room size. Very, very, few speakers of any driver design actually cover 20Hz-20kHz(-3dB) accurately. Very few do 30Hz(-3d... 
When will rap music be less mainstream?
At the Newport Folk Festival, Dylan was backed by the electric Paul Butterfield Blues Band.Anyway, I understand why people don't like rap(I can't stand most of it), there's nothing wrong with that. But, to say there is no talent in any artist with...
