Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Dracule1 - Your objective is not clear. If you want to attract women, ultimately YOU are going to have to keep their attention, not your possessions. That said, why do you care whether her initial interest is sparked by your car or your speakers? ...

Kijanki - Your friends wife probably added both color and texture to the sound with her tweak.Paperw8 - You're right about the nature of transactions and I was remiss in not stating that women who place money as a high priority are probably gold d...

Anthrpomorphize means to attribute human characteristics to creatures that are non-human.Many of you seem to be imposing male values and tendencies on females in your speculation. Is there a word for that?Women who are impressed by wealth or demon... 
vintage turntables?
Lew - My memory is not to be trusted absolutely but I remember some things pretty well. I recall the EPA-100 and The Arm as being the TAS darlings of the day. It's quite possible that the SP-10 was as well. However, in those days the Goldmund tabl... 
vintage turntables?
The war of words between Michael of SOTA and Ivor of Linn dominated the turntable scene in the press in the early 80s and there was a general belief that Japanese product of that period was just dressed up mid-fi. In fact, the SP-10 MK II was pack... 
Why not horns?
T-bone - I don't look anymore. I don't want to be tempted. My horns are good enough. State of the art is way too expensive to contemplate. They've finally moved the carrot so far ahead that I can no longer see it.Anything appreciably better than w...

A 'First' System for my Son
I fixed my boys up with NHT M-OO monitors w/ S-OO sub and old NAD preamps attached to their computers. Speakers and monitors are internally powered. Both systems sound quite good but I seldom hear either one because the boys use their Grado headph... 
Why not horns?
Mapman - My curiosity got the best of me so I checked out the GP website. The Unicorn does look fascinating. The efficiency is strangely low for a horn system and the power handling modest but I'm sure anything from that company has merit. Alas, I... 
Why not horns?
"I believe" indicates that you are guessing. I don't know enough about the intricacies of speaker design to evaluate your speculation. Maybe someone else can explain how it works. Anybody? 
Why not horns?
Mapman- I've been unable to determine where the horn is in this design and I can't really get my head around the concept of an omni horn.Please explain.

Does anyone else out there have experience using XTA? 
"What's Your Best Price?"
My "best price" is the most I can get. But circumstances change.There are a lot of Americans who would gladly sell their house today for 20% less than a number they would have laughed at 4 years ago. 
Rawson Amps
If First Watt sales were not hurt and Tim Rawson was working alone and producing a small number of amplifiers at minimum wage, I fail to see where this is an issue at all.If he had a factory with multiple units being churned out every hour by Chin...
