What is your listening bias
Clueless, do you sit on the case of Becks beer while listening and is the foundation of the music better, when the bottles in it are full or vice versa? Do you take the Vodka from the ice, or use shredded Bose speakers to get the right temp?In ano... 
Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?
Well, I suppose you haven't listened to the newer offerings of this old principle nor have you read all of the above posts. Otherwise I agree with you. Cheers, 
Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
Ask Clueless, he's the icebox expert, I'd say, you have to put them through a shredder first. 
Do you drink when you listen?
Yes, a glas of very good red wine 
Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic
Zinman has gone back to the States, I don't recall to which Orchestra, but its one of the top four, if I remember rightly. A grave loss for Zurich. Since I've been away for a while, I cannot even tell you, who has taken his place,or if a new head ...

Shubertmaniac, very simply by twiddling the various volume controls on the different preamps. Serves also very nicely to tune your system according to the software which you are playing. Sort of like a parametric equaliser, but without its drawbac... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I must be doing something wrong, 'cause when I use it, I can't tweak it, and when I've used enough of it, it tweaks me. This leaves me all perplexed. Has that to do with the ongoing battle in these pages between subjectivists and that strange brot... 
Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
Since you sincerely remain clueless, Clueless, my sagacity would be wasted, wouldn't it, besides I don't want to centigrate on your sensibilities. Yankee English I only know from the movies and you know how misleading this can be for a gnome, who ...

With long or short runs, Clueless? 
Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic
Hello, how nice, long time no hear Shubertmaniac, no, I went a far more crazy way, just to avoid, what you have mentioned. I have a master preamp, by which I drive several others, each linked through individual amplification to a wall of stacked s...

Q: Why have violists trouble in entering a room?A: They never know when to come in. 
Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
Clueless, you are right of course, to me you make excellent sense. Tis nothing but the lament of an old man. Cheers, 
Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic
Well, the only speakers which have tempted me so far, were the A-Capella horns, discussed elsewhere here on this site.Daveyf, you are ( almost ) right, with the planars and stats being limited in dynamics. To overcome this, you need either the big...

Oops, it should say viola not violin, the last word in my first post. Thanks CFB, clumsy as my banter is wrought anyway, with violin instead of viola it makes indeed no bloody sense at all....
