Loudspeakers promiscuity and a list of my former passions
m-db, I've never exhibited in an audio show but I've attended several. My 1st was the 1985 CES in Chicago. The Italian spkr manufacturer, Charo, asked me if I might be interested in representing their products in the US after I chatted with a coup...

rocray, I do write a lot but I that's to share my thoughts thoroughly rather than be vague and leave any ambiguity. People can skim or completely ignore my posts. Sometimes I'm brief when I think that's sufficient.

Three easy payments, I've read great reviews of the Tectons but I'm generally a fan of British spkrs particularly like those designed by the BBC and the companies that are licensed to build the BBC designs like Harbeth, Graham, Stirling & Spen...

Stramerdude, I can't deny I'm strange but promiscuity doesn't require a hole, front or rear. I actually prefer sealed speaker boxes whenever possible since the bass in a well designed sealed system is tighter, faster, and more detailed than the va...

Nonoise, since no flesh was pressed, there was no promiscuity and no paternity suits. So I didn't have to look over my shoulder. The fact that I more or less sold them for a little less than what I paid for them made the entire experience guilt-fr... 
Unplug or ride out the storm?

Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
My reply is intended to illustrate why & how some high performance speakers are purposely designed knowing that they will have to be low in efficiency because of the laws of physics and engineering. Mini-monitors, like the sealed BBC LS3/5a's ...

Speaker recommendation $1000 or less you've had in your home
Several speakers come to mind: Dahlquist DQ-20's or 30's, Vandersteen 2CE's, PSB Stratus Silvers or the silver i's, KEF C80's & B&W's 802 Series 80 speakers. I still have the KEF's & 802's both of which have really nicely veneered cabi... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
Giant leather ear attachments - Back in the 1980's or 90's I saw a hilarious product that even though they looked absolutely absurd, they actually made perfectly good sense. The product was a pair of large & I mean LARGE leather ear-shaped att...
