When we had our son, I sold off all tube stuff because I did not want
any high-voltage equipment where he could prod with a knitting needle
and kill himself. It was a needless precaution. He responded well to my
grave remarks about not damaging...

That website is an example of how ludicrous the ultra high dollar audio gear can get.I have rarely,if ever heard a high dollar(over 100k$) system consistently engage me in musical joy without distracting artificial abberations.I have met in person w...

good point in here;graphic cards perform so well because they are optimized to perform limited tasks and are cheap.I have been listening

I understand they still use TAD 703 and 4001. The 11" is from Supravox. No idea about the bass drivers. I liked this Cessaro demo much better than in previous years. ...

Personally, if I wanted to get a 2nd system, I wouldn't want a less good version of the main system. If they both share an approach to audio, you'll always hear the 3- or 4-ness when you are used to the same thing in 10. I'd try to be as different as...

When I go to hear someone's system, I ask the owner to show me why it sounds the way it sounds. Some people understand the question and play me the music that is emotionally important for them, the music that has to "work". Sometimes, I learn somethi...

Interesting take on the Altec 820. No way can this be done for 20k. Looks like dipole bass with some attenuation for mid frequencies.Wolf von Langa has a faintly similar take on the Altec 820: [url]http://www.holgerbarske.com/allgemein/fremderregt/#c...

Hello RomyToday seller has changed his mind, he will refund.I'm in Brooklyn, a bit too far from Japan :-)Whenever I sell somrthing, I always give a money back guarantee, usually for about 7 days. I prefer to lose a few dollars rather than good night ...

Hello Romy and thank you for a fast replyYou are absolutely correct, but it's the question of money, which I don't have a lot of. Like we say in Russia - "Bednost ne porok, no bolshoe svinstvo" :-) So when I saw this one for $1000 (new Shelters are s...

Hello RomyI like Shelters as well, so I finally scrubbed-up enough money and began to search. I was always happy with 901, but there were none around. Last night I got a 90X, with (supposedly) around 100 hrs on it, within driving distance. So today I...

Re-reading, I realise you stated your preference for a sealed bass array only in relation to Dreyer's bass horn, not to bass horns in general....

Horst, why not go to Frickelfest or some other occasion, show off your
work and see how people like it. What I read on your website doesn't
really go beyond "Judging my own work, I'm delighted by it". ...

I am on record as not liking back loaded
horns:to be effective at bass frequencies, a BLH needs to be as long
as a FLH would be; I've yet to see a BLH, with the possible exception
of the Tannoy Westminster, that actually has a long enough horn ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]There is a strange looks like another tweeter at the bottom of the bass horn. [/quote]I can't really make it out on the photo, but it looks a bit like a Tannoy Supertweeter....
