[Quote] would you accept a photograph from a camera if it didn't do "blacks" and "extreme darks"?

[Quote]BTW, I have a incredibly accurate record of sniffing those thoughts. [/Quote]Thought sniffing is precisely the problem. Too much thought sniffing.You have not heard Mangers, Aporia, or Loth-X speakers yet you thought sniffed yourself into an i...

Another reviewer who can write the review without hearing the product. Now THAT is something new.Don't expect anything new from me because I have been saying the same thing for 20 years. That's why you don't see me around much because I said what I h...

[QUOTE]Would it be in 80 sunder Riccardo Muti? No wonder that it did not image.[/QUOTE]You guessed it....say no more. I was not a huge fan of Maestro Muti, but the society babes who had season tickets definitely liked the leather jackets and the fain...

[QUOTE]Anyhow, a
properly implemented multi-channel installation has immense among of
advantages against single-channel including the geometry of imaging. [/QUOTE]Imaging...another hi-fi delusion. I used to record the Philadelphia Orchestra. The or...

[QUOTE]I would like to see more elegant solution, like an introduction of some kind of directional pressure beams that would act upon the Manger cone and to jolt or comforting it what it is necessary. [/QUOTE]THAT would be cool. If anybody knows how ...

Interesting concept but let me point out a few considerations.The diffusor does performs a mild "equalization" function if you want to call it that but it is also an aid to dispersion. It is light "EQ"...3dB might be about right. Without any diffusor...

YAWN...wake me up when the war is over...If you can't relate to individual personal enjoyment as an ultimate goal of audio, sorry Bud, I can't help ya.I doubt you like what I like or listen to what I listen to. I'm a blues harmonica player. Since my ...

I am in academics. In this world it is no challenge to find people who want to tell me that they are right and everybody else is wrong.The problem with any scholar stuck in his/her theoretical bubble is that there is no room for that person to change...

Certainly, this sincere invitation was offered in part because they found you an interesting Cat, but I think that the offer was also inspired by the fact that you are writing pages of critique on items that you have not, in fact, ever heard.My Korea...

Romy:This is your lucky day! The owner of Silbatone Acoustics wants to invite you to Korea as his personal guest. Pick a date in March. You pay the plane ticket and he will pick up all accommodations and entertainment.You can hear the Aporia versus t...

Quickly again, for the record, and The Google:The back wave of the Manger has a much less flat response than the front wave. There are peaks out the back. It is not a symmetrical dipole. This issue is only of interest if you are using the back ...

Glad you came around to my way of thinking. Without actually hearing "X" it is kind of silly to have strong and well formed opinions about X's sound.If "Lowther" is used as a generic name for single driver speaker, then it is impossible to have a mea...

Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

Does this forum always decorate posts with licking smiley faces?...

As the writer of the above-referenced propaganda, I am pleased to once again tweak the whiskers of the cat.
First off, this is promotional material so what the heck do you expect? Every brochure offers a new benchmark in performance or it is not doi...
