Maybe move it to the lounge but please don't get this thing killed. The humor here is priceless and personally I can't wait to see what gem OD comes up with next. Yah know what OD? I am not quite certain you own anything or have done anything you claim to be honest. But then I am part of the dishonest and jealous and deceitful quagmire all in the audio world find themselves except for you. OD the 1,000,000 lumen laser focused light of truth shining on the the sordid world of audio.

HA ha ha HA HA HA HAHAHA "You guys are sore because you can't abide someone shining a light on the fact that this hobby suffers from a complete lack of honesty or validity controls " YES the TRUTH at last. I am mad because I am not you and suffer from a terrible mental malaise caused by what U/said. Heh heh heh, snort, HA HA HA!!

If you can find a KPT-456 or 904 or 942 you would have a speaker I could live with for the rest of my life and much smaller. The MCM 1900 is clearly superior but the other ones are the real deal too. I unloaded those double bins with a fork lift. 288 pounds if I remember right.

You need the ones on the pallet rack second in from the right. EAW FR-253T with a max Sound Pressure Level of 132.5 db. Enormous volume and so so audio ability blast them with your giant boom box.

Celebrating 19 days of ODS123. Good Morning everyone and welcome to the ODS123 Zone where up is down and left is right because. Still waiting for verification of his musician creds and his better than Vandersteen and Bonehead speaker designs to appear any day now and take the audio world by storm. Rumor has it that numerous speaker and audio gear companies are considering joining forces to resist the nascent audio juggernaut ODS123 before he gets funding for his break the mold company. Speculation is that he has turned down offers from all existing major companies in these fields and his reply to them has been why should I join you when I will soon own you?

Trolls can be great fun you just have to not take them seriously. OD is a hoot and I like his fairly predictable responses.

Don't take OD seriously. He is a troll and is not here for serious discussion worth you spending your money on. He is here to prove he is the only one right. There are some worthwhile things to read in this thread but not from him.

Are they linear though?

It went to someone though the forum who will preserve them.

There is an audio dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the ODS123 Zone

These are sold folks.

Speaking as a self certified expert of course.

I am so humbled by the sagacity of all you say.

Sure OD. I can see where forgetting to include period after return was a bit much for you to slog through. So to help you out how long was the return period on those? As for the rest of the stuff you said Comedy Central is calling you. OK you got me I threw that one in for free. But every musician I know can tell me where they played and what they play and has a scrap book with fond memories. School yearbooks f/instance would be another source. Not that I am expecting you to produce evidence I am just amusing myself with someone who can't back up what he says with any evidence he has done the things he claims. You have a credibility problem you see so I question everything you state and believe you are right sometimes just like a broken clock is right twice a day. The rest of the time not so much. (*urczy!!!*)

You kill me OD. Normal people could and do solve this problem with 4.2 days (you know that 100 hour thing) of leaving the speakers running since they understand you don't have to physically be present to let them break in. How long was the return if not happy offer from the manufacturer? The problem is you take your scant experience and combine it with a refusal to believe anything you have not chosen to own is worthwhile. How you form your buying decisions is secret knowledge since the only one that knows the hidden secrets to audio nirvana is you. Then you trot this stuff out and pontificate regarding the only valid opinion which of course is yours. Evidence please or it did not happen. Baseless chest thumping does not prove on it's own merit you did these things. Although I imagine you direct orchestras better than any, write and produce quality music and have links to post to your past participation as a revered musician in many genres. What do you use in your mixing studio to get the correct sound we all aspire to hear? So where is the evidence hmmm?

Basic hearing test? First in line would be a cognition test because if the mind can't correctly process the audio input what would be the purpose of the hearing test? You have to remember in Troll 101 the basic premise is the Troll is always right irregardless of logical and provable data that says he is not.

OK I will bite. How does that change the comment you made on breaking in those specific speakers? Hey OD how come you have not answered my question?

And go listen to systems comparable to what you are thinking of to see if that is really what you want before you buy anything.

So once again you know more than someone who designs speakers for a living.

What year were they suggesting that? I believe that the K-43 became the stock woofer for the MWM's because there were problems. I thought the Gauss drivers were not supposed to sound as good but they could handle gobs of power.

When I install new tweeters and or crossover caps in speakers I am selling I always let them run for a few days before they are up for sale. It most definitely does make a difference and I want people who show up to hear things as they should be.

OK I will bite. How does that change the comment you made on breaking in those specific speakers?

So when are you going to tell Vandersteen he is wrong to eh? Which reminds me he said 100 hours so maybe it would help if you read the manual next time. Ha ha ha, you are killing me OD!!

You just make my day without doing a thing other than being you. The sublime humor to be had regarding a person like you, who bases his whole life on narrow experience and complete dismissal of things beneath his self imposed oracular chosen dignity, to talk authoritatively about stuff the way you do is priceless. Thanks for the link I am going to check out your sage wisdom over there for grins and giggles.
