| Help needed for outdoor stereo with no electricity I was thinking of high efficiency horns as a way to save power and fill the outdoors with sound. The Berning is a mouth watering temptation. Probably more than I want to spend however. Just learned Berning designed a tube amp for the car. That's p... | |
| Help needed for outdoor stereo with no electricity Thanks guys- the dry run is a good idea. I don't own the receiver yet. Perhaps the car audio components would be the way to go. That would eliminate the need for the inverter. The Ipod has an accesory that converts the headphone output to left an... | |
| Your First System Pcook15 Hilarious- My first component was a Pioneer SX-680 receiver also. I used car speakers for a month or so until I saved for a pair of EPI 100 speakers. You and I are about the same age. I bought my SX-680 new around 1980. | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Your brother is lucky. Regardless of the reality of any constructs which he has grasped, in the end he likes the sound and spent substantially less. | |
| Best of Audiogon Members Left out Audiokinesis due to the thread requirement of no commercial interest. Since Duke always reveals his business interests I think he qualifies. He has a most honorable history of suggesting products he does not sell. Speaking of commercial i... | |

| Dogs and wobbly speakers Attach Weebles to bottom of stands. Cuz you know Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. Or maybe run fishing line from a ceiling hook to provide additional stability. | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Billhound, I see you have taken the time to consider both sides of the omni vs. conventional loudspeakers. If I had never heard a properly executed set of omnis I think I would have been convinced by the arguments of Opalchip and Summitav. Their l... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Billhound, 1200 s.f. is absolutely huge. about as big as my whole house. I'm listening to my Shahinian Diapasons in a 12x15 room with 9 ft ceilings and they sound great- wicked bass node however. I know Richard Shahinian has his Diapasons set up i... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? John, I'll give your VMPS 40's a listen if you'll give my Shahinians a chance. A few of my audio heroes love the Dali Megalines which might share some similarities with the speakers you sell. You don't happen to be in the Chicago area? | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Audiokinesis- Duke, As always your explanations are insightful and appreceiated. I'm glad you brought up the headphone point. I really think it validates your argument. Since adding RPG Skyline diffusors at the first reflection point from my speak... | |
| Free music from artists you've never heard before? Thanks Sean, Some good stuff on there. | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? If being a serious audiophile requires that I dispose of my omnis then I don't want to be one. Summitav and I live on different planets. My planet and my speakers are more or less round. Real musical instruments have "wide dispersion" and "spray" ... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Opalchip, Not once in your discourse, albeit cohesive, have I perceived any experience on your behalf of omni or pseudo omni loudspeakers. Might you find it in your realm of acceptance, the off chance that the culmination of your scientific unders... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Opalchip, Come listen to my Shahinian Diapasons. Then you might change your mind. I think of sound like light. Direct light in the eyes is irritating. Reflected and diffused light is pleasant. The word distortion does not come to mind when listeni... |
