    Any good deals on new & efficient book shelf speakers?

    Have a buddy that's looking for a decent book shelf sized speaker that sounds good. I have several old pairs myself but live too far away to gift him a pair. Told him I'd ask the folks here on AK what's new, efficient, and affordable. Cheers! Lar

    AK Retiree Club

    Retired a few years ago. Here's a Dzogchen thing about being retired. "Mind and body are profoundly relaxed-uncontrived and genuinely present. Like an easygoing person who has nothing more to do, mind and body rest in whatever way is comfortable, for there is no tension or looseness. " ~...

    My Great Great Heil DIY Speakers

    Funny thing I actually paired some Great Heils with a pair of Sony APM 33ES speakers. These were the version with the dome tweeter which was prone to blowing. Just used an old AMT-1A crossover I had lying around, with new poly caps of course, it was the crossover version with the smaller value...

    Altec Valencia = Heathkit AS-101

    If you do decide to go three way you might find the JBL bullet a bit too directional. I tried adding bullets to my home built Valencia's back in 1975 and found them way too directional. Ended up with slots and quite liked them. Ended up selling those DIYs around 1982. Lucked across a pair of...

    After market diaphragms, a good deal or not?

    Thanks! Would love to throw some beryllium's in these 2441s. Have read a bunch of eBay reviews on the after market ones and they are glowing mostly. Jammin Jersey has some used but like new factory 16 ohm diaphragms. Will have to think over my options. Will be running the 2441s as the mids...

    After market diaphragms, a good deal or not?

    Need to pick up an 8 ohm diaphragm for a JBL 2441 driver. A friend kindly lent me a pair with lens to try out in my system but when I went to check ohmage one came in at 7.6 and the other at 14.7. Oddly the diaphragm was labeled as being 16 ohm. Go figure must have been a Friday at Radian. Have...

    Any Tragically Hip fans out there....

    Don't own any of their records, saw them live September 6, 2013 in Moose Jaw and enjoyed it. Saw Sloan in a much smaller venue a couple years later and I have to say I enjoyed their show much more. Have never been a big fan of vibrato in vocals though.

    Jazz Fusion Playlist

    Remember seeing this show when it first aired. What an amazing line up. What I remember most distinctly is how Weather Report blew Little Feat off the stage. I was flabbergasted cause I loved them both. Weather Report took it to the next level.
