In the linked thread (at the top of the page) I was pointed out that GM Lab introduced their new Focal Utopia EM loudspeaker. Yesterday the Seattle’s Moron “mikel” posted a picture at AA with the new Utopia EM presented at RMAF 2008.
I saw the pic...

I’ve never heard of the “Hut on Fowl’s Leg” before. It is an interesting folklore tale. However, I still laugh when I see these horns. Other than being completely ridiculous in appearance, this guy didn’t even bother to time align any of the drivers....

[quote user="hagtech"]On another note, I've been following the Fitzmaurice articles in audioXpress for years. It seems he has only one criteria for a speaker. SPL. Some of the stuff he does is really scary. But then, I've neve...

Let it be known that I am nearly clueless when it comes to electronics. Building speakers, racks, pianos, or just about anything mechanical is no problem for me to build myself and, unlike Romy, it is usually pleasant for me for various reasons....

When I meet Jonathan Valin I laugh. Jonathan is soft-spoken, kind-mannered person who does not have that revolting attitude of a typical audio reviewer. Most of audio reviewers that I met behaved like idiots, claiming: “the entire wo...

The visitors of my site who have read my observations about the CES 2005
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?postID=1918
are familiar with my very positive impressions about NESPA Optical Disc Finalizer.

During the 2002 CES, late at night, a friend of mine demonstrate me something that was tying to address for a few years. It was a very different “tone” form a loudspeaker or I would rather say a different relationship between reproduced and auditable...

Well Cat you can call me whatever you like, but you still did not answer my question.
Both have a horn for highs, for mids and for lows, only the sub lows are handled differently.
Now who is the moron hereMe or that naughty Cat?

Romy,
I value your input so don’t pull out so quickly.. I was expecting your reaction though.
I,m not the 'typical Audio Moron' type, just planning ahead of time because remodeling is involved. Imagine YOU were forced to move into this room with yo...

Part 2: MusicWhen I said above that the music played at CES 2006 was the strip-music then I was not lying. I have seen a Moron who was jumping form room to room begging each vendor to play for him the soundtrack of the depth-chargers for U-571 movie....

Actually my wish for DSETinisation of Gammas has nothing to do neither money nor with Sound, really. The Audio-Morons™ buy and sell audio, and particularly those who are in the $200.000 bracket not because some specific sonic accomplishments or utili...

Hi Romy…and fellow audio nutters. I’ve bitten the bullet, and shifted from BLH to front-loaded. Yes, I was an idiot, a moron for not doing this sooner. My project is ‘humble’ by Romy’s standard…but I feel it meets the following objectives I h...
