    Audiophile Speakers

    Hello audiophile gonzomeep :) well of course audiophile and high fidelity are different from each other. An audiophile is a person. While high fidelity is descriptive of electronic equipment. :music: take care audiophiles, dan

    Audiophile Speakers

    What's funny is that there are many in this thread that don't consider themselves audiophiles. Let me spell it out for you. YOU are all audiophiles! You do care about the equipment you have, even though you care to varying degrees and have taken different avenues. You may also be a...

    What makes Alnico magnets so appealing in speaker design?

    Hi guys :) I think the problem comes into play when people attribute a well designed/constructed driver to sound good because of one particular element, such as an Alnico magnet. There are many (of the same people) who speak as though tube amps rule the roost. I'd agree with anyone...

    Altec's Valencia...

    Hi Array :) Sounds like the Altecs just weren't your cup of tea. All speakers certainly can't be for all people, no biggie really. The Altecs do benefit alot from a larger cabinet. You get better bass extension and the midrange seems cleaned up a bit too. A tweeter up top could...

    Quitting smoking..who's done it?

    Hi Russ, :) I smoked for many years before quiting. When I did smoke, it was as much for the enjoyment aspect as it was for the habit as well. Smoking was a part of my everyday routine. Getting up, working, driving, reward...everything. But when I made the decision that I would stop...

    Which Classical and Big Band Jazz releases?

    Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra - Shout Me Out I liked the recording on this album better than the newer Live at MCG. But my appreciation for the skills of Jeff Hamilton and the shear brilliance of bassist/composer/conductor is really best appreciated live (bms ;) ) happy...

    Not too happy at AK Lately--A RANT!!!

    That is unfortunate, but I'm not sure what can be done. But don't think it doesn't happen everywhere, no matter the size of the community. Many times it seems to be the same people going from forum to forum (though not always) I've been burned before too, but that hasn't stopped me from...

    mod.19s

    It may be a little high, compared to what others have gotten them for in the past. But can you find a pair for $600 - $800 in the future? maybe. maybe not. But you can do soooo much worse buy spending $1,000 on many of the audiophile speakers made today. I would think $700-$800...

    SuperBowl Favorites

    LOL...the jump -n- slide couldn't be better :thmbsp: Maybe I should market it as an audiophile room tweak ;)

    mod.19s

    They sure do sound nice... Although the price you want to pay really depends on how bad you want them. My brother picked up one pair for $600 and another pair for $200. But how often are you going to come across deals like that? Not often! They're a good speaker and you need...

    SuperBowl Favorites

    Carolina certainly has the ability to put the Seahawks in their place. Delhomme is a threat in any game he plays in. But, with pressure you can shut him down (the Bears didn't get overwhelmed by Carolina at all. The defense simply did not show up). But the fact is...Delhomme is a big threat and...

    Pork......

    It is certainly a shame what happened to not only pork...but also to beef and chicken as well. The end of good pork was with the campaign that helped sell more of it. Pork...the other white meat. To competye with the chicken campaign for a healthier alternative to the evil cow...pork had bred...

    This is way different - Rotary Vane Transducer

    That is cool! Here's some more cool SUb stuff ;) The most impressive description of a house breaker sub, that I've heard of, would be by Tom Danley. He describes the sub as being able to produce high DB response down to DC (0Hz). He also states that 3Hz becomes audible at levels 122db...
