Please tell me there is more to it than shipping and handling.

You are right. I will restate my original post. BB

Please explain how the multi cell designs affects the pressure wave? What would change without the cells. Seems like the lower frequency cutoff would be determined by the max width of the individual cell and not their sum. What is their advantage? What would the affect be if you arrayed two smaller horns without lengthing, would that change the lower cutoff or just sound horrible. BB []

Krell is OK in spite of their massive power supplies and clean, viceral, gut twisting horsepower. Wana trade. BB

I can't hear that stuff. Maybe somebody else can. BB []

Ten feet is a lot, I'm sure it was not designed that way. Does your THX system use a power amplifer with discrete power supplies for each channel ie FIVE transformers. I have a single large EI and I have never noticed hum but I can feel it vibrating when I touch it. Maybe a shelf or something is resonating the 60htz or check the screws on the core(s) themseves.

I found page. Interesting. http://soundstage.com/maxdb/maxdb071998.htm

I was surprised when I discovered a large oldrer style EI type power supply in my Mccormack amp. Looks like Mccormack uses EI style transformers in ther whole line of stereo power amps. Apparently there is growing debate about the superiority of the popular toroidal core transformer over the conventional EI type for use in power amps. The Mccormack is no slouch in the power amp field so I'm real curious as why they seem to be marching to a different drum. Mccormack has not responded to my query. Any opinions on toroidal vs EI type power supplies. Thanks, BB

Remember the wood cased Zenith tabletop radios from the fifties and early sixties. It's my understanding that many of them were single ended, can anybody confirm this? Thanks.

oops

I think It's good that we don't hold back. That was clear and to the point.

Here's one of the subs at Chicago Blue Man

The Chicago venue for Blue Man does not use JBL. Here is the link for the PA engineering for Blue Man at the Briar Street Theater in Chicago. Interesting stuff. http://www.meyersound.com/news/press/blueman.htm

My mom makes the best stuffing.
