  1. After all, PWK wouldn't have gone to all that trouble designing his bass bin and Klipsch wouldn't have continued building it for the last 60+ years if the same results could be achieved by slapping a 15" driver on a 8 cu.ft. box....at least that's what I keep telling myself.

    Good point

  3. Mark. You mention Titan subs are these Edgar siesmics or another brand. I sold both my siesmic subs after seeing dr bruces notes on one of them. The urei 813c goes down to 40 hz flat then drops sharp the Edgar siesmics were tuned to 35 hz and then they drop sharply they are great for Edgar midbin's that cut off at 80 benefit from siesmics but The 5 hz difference between the siesmics and the urei just wasn't worth the cost. I plan to build subs as I kept my jbl. 18" drivers. I always felt the bass was the least important till recently. When done right the bass is a huge part of the overall presentation ( call me converted :). Joe

    1 think you nay not of thougt about is heering pratecton when on you moto-bike hopefully you havent' loss to much highs but could expplain favertism to base frequinsies th you remark on . . . . . dont' be imbarrased because most to all men lose highs as they age get older = = = = ear muffs on moto-bike can may redoose dammaig

  4. This last weekend KPBX had their yearly record and video sale in town.

    I went Sat when it opened, and grabbed six or eight LP's amongst a serious frenzy. And then went in Sun and scrounged up a few more. They also had a silent auction for audio gear, but I'm no good at silent auctions.

    LP's were two bucks on Sat, and a buck on Sun.

    I purchased:

    Bashin' The Unpredictable Jimmy Smith

    The Modern Jazz Quartet and the Oscar Peterson Trio at the Opera House

    Bille Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald at Newport (clef series)

    Erroll Garner-Soliloquy

    Herbie Mann and The Bill Evans Trio-Nirvana

    Herbie Hancock-Future Shock

    Spyro Gyra's first LP

    BTO-Four Wheel Drive

    Mike Oldfield-Tubular Bells

    Elton John-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

    This is what I managed to snag between the mayhem on Sat, and having everything picked through on Sun.

    No shortage of vinyl junkies around this berg...

    I would have bougtht ZEERO of these butt no accountig for taiste as they say
