The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.
'and most speakers with Fostex full range cone.'I'll have to disagree with that comment. I would say the Fostex F200a full range cone Is as good as anything out there. Its mid range is so revealing. To my humble shell likes anyway.KCS- Makes excel...

Lowther drivers, front horn or back loaded horn?
Hi Alan,I am unsure of what you mean by 'ringing'? I only hear music from the speakers and do not hear any Intrusions. The distance is about 8' between the speakers and will eventually go perhaps 10', although I will try to find the optimum when t... 
Lowther drivers, front horn or back loaded horn?
Johnk- The nice chap who sold them to me told me that you built them when I first made the enquiry.Thats why I snapped them up when I did without an audition and without hesitation. I Had to drive 2000 round trip for them, but was more than well w... 
Lowther drivers, front horn or back loaded horn?
Not heard the Lowthers so cannot comment. I love my Oris 150 with Fostex F200a mid/ bd-design bass cab and T900-aex Tweeter. Wow what an engrossing sound. I have to say the Oris 150/F200a is a great combination. And is (for me anyway) up there wit...

Clarinet Music on vinyl or CDs
I would like to recommend the cd also by Anthony Michaelson on the MF label of Weber Clarinet Quintet Opus 34, Barmann 3rd Clarinet Quintet Opus 23.I think the cd Is really well recorded (to my ears anyway). 
is RMAF worth a trip
It is a good show and all the exhibitors that I spoke to were very friendly/helpful and were more than willing to share hi-fi chit chat.And as mentioned by Jig I didn't encounter anybody that would not entertain any of the cd's I took along to the... 
worst 'long-lived' band
Yeah Chadnliz..........forgot about that one the old well worn wocker wodney 'stew'art. In my yoof he was the biz.I am a big fan of Bob Dylan Its just the album 'Love and Theft', music is good but he sounds like he is being gripped by the throat w... 
How Many Of Us Are Compensating
A quote from a well respected Hi-fi reviewer in the UK, doesn't really matter what speaker he is talking about as long as its worth Its salt, although he is talking about his very own Impulse H1's horn speakers that he still has and has had for ma... 
worst 'long-lived' band
Elton John, real early stuff ok, Bob Dylan (voice of sand and glue and 2 octaves higher than before).Genesis without Gabbs and Hack,Pink Ployd without Waters,Phil Collins (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)The Rolling and a Stones,The Police,Probably loads more ju... 
How Many Of Us Are Compensating
IMHO the better the hi-fi gear the better ALL recordings will sound and that includes the supposedly 'duff' recordings. To say ones' system only makes a few cd's 100% listenable is plain daft. And to start moving speakers around is even dafter!Wha... 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
Tbg- I think to race anything you have to be a little bit crazy, 'cept for maybe hamster racing, although the saddle can get a little uncomfy.
