| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close I only ever met Andy Singer once twenty odd years ago and have made sure that record stood up right until the present. He reminded me of King Farouk the way he made his employees wait on him and the way he ordered everyone around. Corpulent and di... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Good sound? Can you understand that you are referencing an opinion? Good sound is a matter of opinion. Most people are quite happy with what they have. I drive a Prius. I love it. To car people, it is a hideous, pretentious waste of plastic. They ... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Why this point is so elusive to so many of you I cannot imagine but because I am patient and caring and a credit to my race, I will try once again to move this point close enough for y'all to grasp.I don't personally care about hang-gliding, canas... | |
| Personal speaker evolution I prefer not to say "depreciation". My program just isn't designed to absorb that kind of a loss.My speaker progress has taken me through many changes, some of which are listed back on page 3 or 4 of this thread. Today I have a pair of mid/high ho... | |
| Any vets among the Audiophiles here? Hear, Hear, Coltrane1. I'm glad you brought that point to our attention. Our military budget is probably 4 times as large as it has to be to keep us safe. It's really just a way to justify channeling tax dollars into the hands of favored corporati... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? We audiophiles need to own up to the fact that we are a cult. As true believers, we cannot conceive that others fail to understand the redemptive nature of the object of our obsession. Too bad for us. For most people, a sound system is just anothe... | |
| Crossover Apparently you like Bryston. Why not buy their 10B crossover? They sometimes show up for sale used. Since you needn't be in a hurry, just make a habit of watching for one for sale here on Audiogon. | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Kal - Don't forget indifference. Most people could care less. They just want access. No qualitative thoughts ever cross their minds - except maybe brand name. That's where Bose comes in. | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Stupid comment - 2 channel is for anyone who uses it. Many people see no reason to introduce the gimmickry and complexity of multi-channel. It is very possible to ignore 5.1 or 7.1 or 11.1 or whatever else the marketeers are able to dream up for y... | |
| Why not horns? I'm getting email inquiries daily about the status of Bill Woods. So I checked into the matter. Several people who have contacted Bill report that he is not taking any more horn orders for a year so as to catch up with demand.Turns out this is tru... | |
| Why not horns? The JBL has a passive crossover built into the cabinet but there are connections on the back for separate driver hook up. At first I used the JBL XO and just disconnected the mid-range horn in the JBL and connected my AH300 horn instead.Then when ... | |
| Why not horns? Here is the newer PA+ version. It does all the same things that mine does. I use it as a crossover, time delay and EQ. http://www.dbxpro.com/PA+/With this device you can shape your sound any way that you want. | |
| Why not horns? Mapman - Scan back up this very page about 10 entries and you will see a pretty complete recipe for my speakers that I submitted on July 20. If I wasn't clear or didn't provide enough info, feel free to ask me questions. | |
| Why not horns? Gawdbless - When you were talking about wooden cones I took you to mean conical wooden horns. JohnK apparently thought you were talking about conventional drivers with wooden cones. It is apparent you guys are cross talking and missing each other'... | |
| Why not horns? Mapman - My setup is shown on the Acoustic Horn website. I have provided several links earlier in this thread but no one seems to have noticed. Go to "Testimonials" and scroll down to "Tom in Denver". I'm not actually in Denver but that isn't too ... |
