[Neodymium vs Ceramic magnets]

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

[Please explain multi cell horns.]

You are right. I will restate my original post.

[Please explain multi cell horns.]

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.

[Toroidal vs EI type Power Supplies?]

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

I can't hear that stuff. Maybe somebody else can.

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.

[Toroidal vs EI type Power Supplies?]

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,

[Single ended tabletop radios.]

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.

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

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.

[Compression Drivers Or What?]

I'm sooo tired of explaining to the sales people the particulars of their product. A Klipsch dealer(not Tweeter} that has been selling Klipsch for twenty-five years tells me that the only Klipsch using compression drivers is the Heritage line. I say no way! The Reference and Synergy lines also use compression albiet a different design. Anybody want to help clairify this question?

Thanks B.B.

Ampex stock is $.08 per share. They are manufacturing magnetic high capacity high speed data storage now. No more audio. It does not look like they are doing very well.

I use my 1961 Harmon Kardon A-500 integrated amp every day with Cornwalls.

Yes I do love my mother very much.

[Bose idea:]

Bose is what it is. It,s overpriced junk; that's ok. The sad thing is that it's sucksess reflects a too pliable American public that will not take the time to become truly informed and savy consumers; it's much easier to be sold on something than to decide on something. We deserve the government we get as well as the Blose speakers we get. Let's all shop at Walmart and fill our homes and lives with junk. God Bless America. Ha.
