| Zu Druids - Two years after Your room is too small for a Method, which has two 15 inch woofers. I had the Mini-Method in a larger space than yours and it was plenty with two tens. | |
| Zu Druids - Two years after The Large Advents are one of the most famous of numerous 2 way speakers that used a 10 inch driver for both mid and bass with notable success. Obviously there is no reason why it can't work. | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating Hardly anyone working in our local Circuit City was supporting a household. They were mostly high school kids. So, in that sense, the 34,000 jobs might not have meant much to the overall economy. Those were lost when they replaced their staff a co... | |
| high end jbl or horns or emerald physics c1 I had a pair of JBL L-200 speakers sitting around here for a few years when I discovered Acoustic Horn Company. In speaking with the owner, Bill Woods, I became convinced that all my L-200 needed was a better horn. This proved to be true. If you g... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables I don't have the technical knowledge, tactile skills or financial wherewithal to push against the upward boundaries of the state of the art. So I get as close as I can by leveraging "bang for the buck". In turntables I have found that goal best se... | |
| Best movies last two years "Four Minutes" - in German - English subtitlesWhat a finish!! | |
| Best way to upgrade from Krell 400xi I don't smoke anything but a lot of things smoke Krell. Once you get past professional reviewer claptrap and historical presumption, there really isn't all that much to be had from Krell. However, as long as you continue to convince yourself other... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Audiofeil sells new turntables that have to compete with the vintage units. That seems like motivation for bias. And I do have a clue. | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Ketchup - The old Garrard, Thorens, Lenco, and even the SP-10 were really designed to go into a console of some kind. Some were used in your parents' fruitwood console and some were used in radio station consoles. Not everything from that period o... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables The classic car/classic turntable comparison doesn't really work. Statement products and R&D breakthroughs are always subsidized by the sales of mass market product or government funding. Automobiles have continued, until very recently, to ben... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Chris Brady took his Teres belt-drive turntable designs to the pinnacle of the industry by word of mouth with very little review assistance. They were that good. But Chris found that he had reached a plateau with belt-drive and that he could only ... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables I replaced my Well-Tempered Reference Table with a Technics SP-10 MK II because the Technics is better. I wasn't being fashionable, cute or nostalgic. As Mike suggested above, the Japanese DD tables of the late seventies and early eighties were st... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands There was an interesting speaker called Vision Acoustics manufactured back in the 1990's. They were a point source design that got some good reviews. The company is defunct but if you were to run a "wanted" ad for them, I imagine you could find a ... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way Chad - I feel pretty sure my speakers are better than the 4430 but that isn't really what I was getting at with my question to you. I thought you were pretty dismissive of Ditusa without explaining why you felt he was mistaken or which other speak... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way Ditusa made a claim that defies what many of us assume. Some of us, however, are aware that the claim is not unreasonable. Whether or not he is correct remains to be seen but just rejecting his comments without a substantial argument to the contra... |
