Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity
@mehtayoungs --Great thread initiation. [...] active has nothing to do with whether the amp is installed in the speaker or not. It refers to whether the crossover is before or after the power stage. Having an active crossover at line level and the... 
smaller speakers for critical listening?
@northman --I know that may be a ridiculous question; of course one can sit down with Radio Shack speakers and engage in serious listening, and of course the experience is subjective for all of us. I’m actually asking for subjective responses here...

@steve59 --(Re-)read the OP? 
Why so obsessed with bass?
@desktopguy --+1@mijostyn --... You want to be listening to the driver and nothing else. Unfortunately, enclosures are musical instruments. They make noise when excited by the driver. They also move. These two problems muddy the sound. Building a ...

Folks, something about the ’what’ rather than the ’who’?@mapman -- I will put the whole thread in the trash can and burn it.👍Feel free to ignore it instead.

@mozartfan -- Here come the mods ready to shut this topic. I can hear their foot steps now. My takeaway with the specific cases was some users being ninjas with the 'report'-button, not deletions originally prompted by the admins. @nonoise -- ...

@mapman -- Good job giving the person being criticized even more publicity. Well done!Well, you just contributed to that, didn't you? Again, my intend is the subject. Should I receive the heat for a history of trolling kept alive by willing feed...

@b_limo --... u ever try talking to Kenjit? No, I imagined early on an empty food bowl would be the best to leave here, but seems to me he’s been well fed. That’s not saying there can’t be something of worth in his writings, as I pointed out earli...

@nonoise --... You beat me to it. He doth protest too much. Classic projection and a great summation of him. Protest wasn’t my aim but rather concern with free speech, tackling a "troll" and maintaining that even he can occasionally hit on what’s...
