NEED HELP about Magnepan speaker
Loon, Having owned the 3.6 for over 2 years, and having pushed the speaker probably harder and farther then anyone has I think I have a very good grasp of what they are capable of. The problem was always trying to get the ribbon to integrate with ...

Its the same 1.6 that's been out for a number of years now. It has the quasi ribbon, the 3.6 and 20.1 are the only speakers in the magnepan line that use a true ribbon tweeter. It is true the ribbon sounds better up top then the quasi ribbon tweet... 
member system photos???
I've given up on the holy grail, one of the reason's I don't post much these days. I rather enjoy music, with friend, comfortably then have a single chair, set up in an equipment worshiping enivroment. So its not "optimal" but its still damn good,... 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective

Audiophile Electrocution
No real long term effects, I just felt weird for a number of days. A month or so later it was all a distant memory.As a youth I was curious if an electric fence was on that I saw on the side of the road, so I grabbed it with my hand.... it was on.... 
Audiophile Electrocution
I got hit with about 500v once, not a good time, it instantly burned my skin to the point it was a dead dry powder where the contact was made. I jumped, or rather it threw me a few feet back, the hair on my arms was standing straight up and I just...

What size screen for front projector?
I noticed that the new projector from sony used a xenon bulb, while I am by no means a Hometheater guru, that was a new one on me. It also listed no life expectancy of the bulb, which is probably a good thing. If it lasts twice as long as a conven... 
What size screen for front projector?
My viewing distance is about the same, and I also have a Sony 1080p projector and have a 100" 4:3 Vutec, so my 16:9 is roughly 87". I could, perhaps, go a bit larger but I don't think the projector is bright enough for much more then 100" with tha...
