Hello all! I'm a newbie!

[Meower]

Hello everyone! I'm a new female here and just wanted to say that I love the idea of a room for the ladies (although I enjoy the other rooms also). I have a love for great sound (not just music) but how it sounds coming out of the speakers. Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and say I'm ready to explore. Question, how do I go about getting an avatar?

[Celt]

Welcome to AK! :wave:

[2weelchpprpilot]

Welcome. Go to User CP (at top) then hit Edit Avatar. Self explanatory from there.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! It seems like a great forum here with friendly people, which is very cool! Hey, can anyone guess how I came up with my name? :scratch2:

[wajobu]

Uh....you are a cat? :D

ROWR...as our old black and white Bix used to say (rest his soul)... :smoke:

Now we have another B&W resuce-cat named Boris and by sharp contrast he either has a wimpy..."mew" or the occasional uttering of startlement..."HSSSS" :no:

[bentpencil]

You're married to Tom Jones?????

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! It seems like a great forum here with friendly people, which is very cool! :scratch2:

Yeah, but do you play "Odd but not peculiar"?

Ahhh...an invitation to the Off Topic Forums, if I ever heard one.

It is putty-tat, but not mouser...

Pretty good invitation, wouldn't you say? ;)

[Meower]

It may be kitty, but it ain't feline!!! :thmbsp:

First of all, I LOVE your avatar, it's great! :D I like your guess, but it's incorrect :no:

[bentpencil]

Josie?

[jaymanaa]

Howdy and welcome :nutz:

[Meower]

Josie?

Another good guess! It's actually WAY corny--it's going to evoke a big "groan" from the forum.

[Dusty Chalk]

Is your nickname "Cat"?

Oh, and welcome and salutations and all that.

Dude, this thread keeps moving around. Freaked me out! I thought I had accidentally wandered into the ladies liar. :o

Meower? Hmmm? I got nuttin :no:

Edit- Lair, all the sudden spellings important :scratch2:

[cosmicdust]

Hi Miss Meower,

It does my heart good to know there is a female member here. I am always longing for a female to grace this site. It sets the balance right and makes my Universe function perfectly.

The males usually try to be in their better behaviour too! All in all, you are a blessing! Welcome :-)

Thank you :-)

[jaymanaa]

You have the uncanny ability to call neighborhood cats to your back yard at night. :yes: I knew a girl that used to do that. :yes:

This ISN'T the Ladies Lair? Another hint--It's so corny and it ties in with the speaker part of the audio forum.

[Soundthought]

Hi and welcome.


Let me guess....

Instead of being a Woofer.....you're a Meower.

[bentpencil]

Well, there's woofer and tweeter--------why not meower? If the "boot" fits.....

[Meower]

Hi and welcome.


Let me guess....

Instead of being a Woofer.....you're a Meower.

:yes: Excellent! Good job Audioreality--You win! :banana: You got your Woofer, your Tweeter, and I'm a Meower! Haha :lmao: Pretty corny, huh? Can't help it :dunno: Can I still stay in the forum and play ? :D

[Soundthought]

:banana: Cool.

Absolutely!

[Fisher-Dave]

Please don't tell me you'r a "Corn type speaker??" :nono: :yes: :no:

Welcome to the AK forums! :huge:

[Meower]

now we just need to find you some good gear :D Or do you have some of your own already? :scratch2:

Actually, I am in need of some new gear, just waiting for the cash situation to improve. What are some recommendations? I need some new speakers and I really like JBL's.

[ToTo Man]

Welcome to AK! :)
I'm really glad there are ladies out there who are just as obsessed about quality sound as us guys are! :thmbsp:
Now if I could only convince my mum that I have a perfectly legitimate reason for having 30+ pairs of speakers in the house! :D

[jeffn]

Gawwd,
*I* didn't get such a warm welcome......... shoulda changed my name to Serena when i joined........ :puke:

As long as they are JBL's, how big doesn't matter. What matters the most is how they SOUND and as long as they look nice, they can be HUGE! :yes:

Wouldn't have helped. We can see through that kind of crap.

how muche??

[dr*audio]

Welcome to AK! I see that you don't yet have an Avatar, did you not pick one yet?

[Dusty Chalk]

how muche??Too. These are "lottery win" speakers (for me, anyway). The smallest entry in the line, the S5800, is US$9K. Each.

Welcome to AK Miss Mrs. Mz. Meower :thmbsp:

Curious, where abouts are you from? I had to ask since you use the term corny a few times and being from the Midwest I can relate!

I've read you are a parent, so how many lives do you have left?

Speaking as a parent of three (two boys and girl) I'm running on borrowed time as usual, even though they are adults nows :D

I'm a Southern California native and a mother of two girls, ages 24 and 19. And I'm just corny, lol..my daughter tells me that all the time. I'm going to try and put up an avatar soon....Thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome! :D

[Meower]

I have one now! Yep....that's MY eye...checking out the forum, lol!

:lurk: This is getting good.

[wajobu]

I have a see-through Mellotron...



...well, I really don't...it's just one of the more unusual M-4s--a photo from a friend who used to have a Novatron...someday my bank account might permit having one...but my keyboard friends tell me to stick with a digital sampler instead...

I think that I'll stick with the real deal and just wait for one to come along...

...so, back to the equipment...what else to hook up to those JBLs? :music:

[Meower]

I'd like to see more than that :naughty: :yes:

Why, thank you, Ma'am. Baby you can drive my car :sing: :boink:

Nope....just the face, (for now) haha :butt2: Quick...take a look at my temporarily changed avatar.... :D

(Actually, I'm with you! :lurk: )

And BTW, Welcome to AK, Meower! I can see you've already been introduced to the local fauna... :D

[Army]

I'm a Southern California native

California was where these were produced (http://www.infinity-classics.de/infinity/models/IRS-series+Beta+Gamma-Delta-Sigma-Epsilon-1988-95-98/IRS/IRS_11_1.jpg) and a number of great sounding models by Infinity. That is if you don't have your heart set on JBL's. :sigh:
Infinity speaker mod here, just had to plug my favorite brand, it's my job around here :D

So size really does matter?

Welcome Meower!

[gyusher]

Welcome Moewer. .Or is it Meower. . .??

I guess it depends on wether or not you are a southern Kitty. . .

Actually southern Kittys say Me-yawh instead of Me-yow. . .

You say Meower so you must be refering to the fact that you do meow. . .

Well its about time we get some input from the oposite sex. . .I know you have already seen that most of AK's men (boys) are speechless idiots that turn into dorks whenever a female walks into the room. . .I guess they think they are neat or something. . . Unless you have never seen mindless men before then it can be an education in itself. . .Kinda makes you wonder who protects who. . .I know I feel a lot safer now. . .

Anyway welcome to AK. . .

[SPL db]

Meower,

Since most of us guys (that are married or have GFs) have to justify our hobby to our better halves...

I was wondering if you had to justify your audio to your significant other?

Curious if the shoe's on the other foot... :thmbsp:

Here's a young lady that comes to AK for audio advice...and she just about gets raped :yikes:

Miss Meower....would you care to meet for dinner later? Then we could seriously discuss what woofers to put with your hooters...I mean tweeters :o

[Sandy G]

Yeah, seriously, the thread could get locked down, but the WORST thing would be that we could make the fair Ms. Meower angry, & she'd leave...And we'd lose a promising new member...

Circling the bowl, folks.

A mystery no longer! Nice to see you! :tresbon: Getting back to the original question here, I don't know much about JBLs, inspite of having worked next door, at Harman Electronics in Northridge. (We lived out there for 7 years.) Do they have to be JBLs? Are you open to other speakers? If so, I'd like to suggest DCM TF-700's or TF1000's. I think if you give them a listen you might like them.

I prefer JBL's. I heard that the drivers in the speakers you suggested aren't very good. I know just enough to be dangerous..I've been looking and I know what I don't want. I'm considering having custom speakers built based on Radian coaxials. Tannoy is nice too. I listened to these Soundwave PS 4.0 speakers a few years ago...are they still around? Does anyone know? How about suggestions on power? All I have right now is an old Rotel receiver.

[Meower]

Welcome aboard! :thmbsp: We would love to hear more about your system(s) and musical tastes. Btw, our porn here is pics of equipment. Post away when ready. :yes:

Regards,

Ken

My musical tastes range from big band to alternative. All of it....i like it all! :yes: :boink: :rockon:

[jaymanaa]

Rotels are cool :yes: but you need to get some tubes girl. Do you listen loud? What sorts of music do you like? I'm just wandering how much power you need. Ever listen to any horns? So many questions :scratch2:

[john_w]

To me, tubes are great for certain things and not as great for others. If you want that mellow, silky-smooth sound, get tubes! For something more dynamic and energetic, SS is my choice. To each their own.

I have a Rotel RB1080 in my main system. Nice amp, but a little dry, for lack of a better term. I've heard better.

I'm into vintage integrateds. For solid state, if you like integrateds, check out the one in my avatar (Sansui AU-9500). Or better yet, one of the later AU series - 919, 717. I've heard that the 9900 kicks butt too. I'm sure the BA series rocks if you like separates.

I've heard some really nice Yamaha integrateds too. The A-1 looks cool and runs crystal clear, but not huge on bass amplification.

It's hard to go wrong with older or higher-end JBLs. I'm also a big B&W fan. Also check out electrostatics. Of course I've just mentioned a huge range in prices - it all depends on how much you want to spend.

[jaymanaa]

Jay, let's play 20 questions and have the "lady" divulge all her tastes for her listening pleasure and if we start asking for "nudies" or "toppless" pics feel free to assume they are of your electrical equipment welcome aboard

I had to read that twice :smoke: I would agree with John on Yamahas sounding nice. The very last SS I let go was a Yamaha. I wish I would have kept it for testing speakers and such. Tubes can be a pain for workbench tasks. I'm not sure what "alternative" is, but a lot of 80's retro sounds great on tubes with the right speakers. I'm currently using some JBL Dorians with LE-14 drivers for a rock set-up on tubes and they work really good IMHO. JBLs can still be had at thrifts too, with enough determination mixed with a lot of patience. I lucked on to mine at a junk shop after only a hundred or so stops. :D You know meower, we have a member who's wife built her own tube amp. :yes: Check out the DIY forum here. I don't think you would have ANY trouble getting plenty of help :thmbsp:

[Clarence]

Yowza! HELLO, meyowa!

Clarence is 28, Single, and GOOD LOOKING!

j/k, I know we need to stay on topic...... :yes:

[RichPA]

OK, guys, I think we've greeted Meower sufficiently - reading through the thread will show that some have greeted her more than once. Lots of interesting stuff about audio questions here, let's take it to the regular forums which are for such discussions.
