For the ADS 3. Can you make it the size of a khorn. The top can have 4 six inch peavy drivers. The bottom of one can be a cooler, the other a fridge for a half barrel with a tap sticking out of the side. And if you want to get retro and do 3 channel the center vertical Cornwall type can hide a weber BBQ I think water proof is a must with optional poontoon floats so they can be towed behind a jet ski.

That's a good point, and quite possible. Case in point: I live about 40 miles away from the NPR station. Some days for whatever reason, the signal is shall we say "less than musical". Coming through the Klipschorns - drives me crazy.... So, I turn them off, and switch amps to an old pair of Heresys (old caps, back not sealed, etc.). Becomes bearable first thing in the morning at a low volume because I want to listen to "Morning Edition" news etc. I too am also curious about "musical" speakers for the masses.... If.... I were to design a speaker to make money (key words: make money = stay in business, live a life of luxury, trips to the Bahamas, the usual decadence...), I would (a) use the least expensive components that would last through the warranty period, ( keep the warranty down to one year, © design the crossover to match my target audience (lotsa' bass, strong but pleasantly muddy mids, flat sounding tweets), and (d) test it on some of my target audience (audience = those with the likely amount of money I want to charge, and likely listen to a certain type of music wherein loud is better and "fidelity" is not really an issue...) I can see the review now: "Area-51 Sound Design's - ASD-2 is a very "musical" speaker. Great room filling bass at a great price! The perfect hard rock speaker system for kids on a tight budget. We were most impressed with the ASD's handling of some less than well recorded CD's. Highly recommended".... But then someone on the Forum would buy a pair and I would be up "Sh*t Creek"!! LOL We Have to do it!!!! Lets start posting up reviews of the fictitious ADS-2......not just here but on agon, akarma, stevehoff, etc, ad nauseam. We'll start treads like "what sounds better Paradigm or ADS-2" It'll drive folks nuts and create an instant market for the "Area51" company....we'll keep it under wraps and say only an exclusive first production run was released, and we are taking deposits for the next limited release !!!!! OK I just got myself banned from 5 forums at once and maybe arrested on tuesday . P.S. I apologize to BOSE for disclosing your marketing strategies.

Oh this is killing me! Just checked tour dates....I'll be in florida when they are in Toronto....and I'll be in Toronto when they come down to Florida!!!!!!!!! I'll have to try to rearrange something.

Sorry Groomlake, Next time I won't offer you up to slaughter [6] Actually that was one of the most clear, concise, posts that I have ever had the pleasure to read on any forum, and me being new to this found it very helpfull........You should do a Dr's thesis on the subject. So what do you think of the Lifestyle system [6][6][6][6][6][6][6][6][6]

Maybe Groomslakearea51 will chime in. He went acquired a pair of 901 series 1 a while back and tested them up against everything he had in the Klipsch lineup. I believe his comments were that if you had a room full of people milling around, the 901's were kinda ok, but couldn't touch any in the klipsch lineup.

Those are awesome!!!! See I would make a pair like that, but I have my wife convinced that I'm to clumsy to even change a light bulb [] Boy would that blow my cover!!!
