Why not horns?
ALL CAPS makes it seem like you are shouting, JW5115. One could say it adds a megaphonic quality to your comment.I would think that the design of the horn would cause the megaphone effect, not the type of driver. Men and women have vey different v... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Onhwy61 - You are not being argumentative but rather setting the record straight. If this, or any discussion, is to be productive and rewarding it needs to be restricted to factual arguments, reliable data, and responsible assertions. When someone... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Frank - Very few people ever get to the point of finding audio complicated because they lack the motivation to find audio.I don't know if I can type slowly enough for all of you obstinate audio freaks to get it but the harsh reality is this:We are... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Well then, it's settled - the reason why more people don't love audio is simply due to their not having found their flavor. It couldn't have anything to do with their immunity to this particular obsession or their inability to spend this sort of m... 
How a turntable is like a gym membership
The base word for analog is anal. Those who have let go of it may be those who have relaxed their sphincters a bit. As I said earlier, I hang onto my table and records because I fantasize that someday my interest will reignite. Besides I'm too laz... 
How a turntable is like a gym membership
Sold my table last April as a downsizing move. I already had a replacement so I figured I would continue seamlessly. I was wrong about that. The replacement table still sits on a lower shelf because I have not felt compelled to make room on the to... 
Active Vs. Passive
Budt - Agree completely and would add that horns provide the greatest dynamics and highest efficiency allowing for the use of tiny amplifiers. Insofar as amplifier watts cost money and more money gets you more watts or more quality, it makes sense... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
WOW! Frank, you've got my attention - keep talking. 
Why not horns?
Mapman - Those horns, with their enormous dynamics and high efficiency, are the best you will find for home theater purposes. I would say that you, more than anyone else who has responded to this thread, are a great candidate for this product. Bil... 
Active Vs. Passive
All drivers are passive. If you do not use a passive crossover, you have an active speaker system, whether or not the amps are on board and whether or not the amps were furnished by the speaker manufacturer.As an example, I would say that all sing...

Why not horns?
Listener614 - You needn't assume anything about us. You can read the thread and find out the facts as to what kind of horns we use. It's all right there in black and yellow. Nothing could be planar.Be careful, though, you might subject yourself to... 
The best of Goodwill...
I probably shouldn't suggest this but, what the hell, the world's going to end anyway.Run an ad in your local newspaper saying that you buy used stereo equipment. The response may not be overwhelming but you will have some very exciting opportunit... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Cindi Lauper made this whole matter crystal clear back when Reagan was Pres. Girls just want to have fun. Make your speakers fun and they will be relevant to her. Otherwise they are just another stupid penis extension fantasy to be challenged or t...
