| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? This thread has progressed haltingly through nearly nine years of inconclusive debate. During that time much has changed in the world around us and in our narrow area of special emphasis. My system has changed a lot since I first rendered an opini... | |
| Why not horns? I had a visit last week from David Wall of Snob Productions. He installed and calibrated my XTA DP-224 Speaker Management System for me.This effort replaced my DBX Drive Rack PA.With a tool like the XTA in the hands of a skilled sound engineer lik... | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip: Come the REVOLUTION I agree with Hotrodaudio. Hi end audio began as a hobby and became a business. The transition was fairly smooth because the scale remained pretty small. Anyone (like Bose) who ventures into the mainstream will, of necessity, leave the hobby realm ... | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip: Come the REVOLUTION Queen of the Rodeo might be a good working reference. The kids can probably come up with something more imaginative though. My suggestion isn't very modern even if it does encapsulate a solid notion.As I stated earlier, audio hasn't changed for me... | |

They grew up with my system. Both were born at home with Pachelbel's Canon in D playing on my turntable in the adjacent room.... | |
| The Hub: Here's some GOOD NEWS from the audio biz Fun is where you find it and America's blind obsessive pursuit of same will careen lurchingly onward in unexplainable, unjustifiable and unpredictable ways, aided by marketing magic and gullible overspending minions. High end audio is a small floa... | |

| Why not horns? Compression drivers for $76,000 per pair leaves me wondering what could possibly justify such a price. If my drivers were blocks of pure gold they might not be worth that much money. | |
| Why not horns? Vernneal - All of those points you mention could effect one's decision about whether or not he wants (or can have) horns. But you left out relativity. How big of a speaker is too big or how costly is too expensive, will be different for everyone. ... | |
| The Hub: Here's some GOOD NEWS from the audio biz You could say we have come full circle. Before I was old enough to get involved, audio reproduction for the home was the result of commercial products coming into the homes of industry people and Popular Workbench types. As it morphed into domesti... | |
