     Then I can plan this little bitty den around my Forte IIIs plus one or two good subs.

     

    Have fun with them , sure your living room is big enough to be changed into a soundwaves high pressure compression chamber  🤣

     

    Because my listening room isn´t that big as the old one I had to rethink about my RF7 Evos , 4 active parallel switched 10" woofer were to much , the mids , hights and brilliance weren´t that clear as before because of too much bassvolume, I made an experiment with 2 active 10" and 2 passive 10" ( they only resonate in the low frequency level due to the air mass flow of the active 10" ) and I closed the above rear fire port and kept the second open.

     

    Man I can tell you , now the bassvolume is under control , very cleanly staggered and the above soundstage is as good as it was in my old bigger listening room , sometimes.....less is more   😁

     

    Will be a long day for me , at 9.am , so in 2 hours and 18 minutes , I´m driving to the german north sea beaches with my car for eating some fresh fish there 😂I´m not kidding ....will be a three and a half hour drive and I will be guided by two female friends ....we´ll  return late evinging ..sure it will be a nice day , will take some pics as will and gonna show you tomorrow

    Talk about quiet, it is so quiet up here that I'm pretty sure what I'm hearing is my tinnitus :huh2:

    If I´m under stress it happens sometimes that I have a high frequency noise in my left ear , when I come down it disappears . In any case it´s better to have a tinnitus from time to time instead of have a gost voice talking to you the hole day through , if this is the case .....it becomes dangerous 😂

    Hey George, I didn't get it yet. Didn't feel like driving the 45 minutes into town. I'm so far out in the sticks that it is 10 miles to a Wally World! And I'd bet that's further away than for 85% of this country! Oh and I got to find a shower curtain before I get my stuff up here next week very glad that there's ceramic tile in the bath. 

     

    Talk about quiet, it is so quiet up here that I'm pretty sure what I'm hearing is my tinnitus :huh2:

    Now you´re driving an ACURA and a 45 minute drive is too far for you ? Remember how many miles you´ve driven w/in the last few month , I suppose a couple of thousands....Where I´m living right now it´s absolute quiet as well , even it´s a side road and the city center is just less 15 Minutes by car.

    I'd say there's a big difference in the styles of music. Those two guys above make!

    Indeed Indeed JJ . Collins Live Album was mastered perfectly and it´s easy listening pop , the Sting Live Album sound excellent as well and has a lot of Rock & Jazz Influence , you have to listen to it once.

    And today I have educated myself about leaf blowers. I got one that can blow 170 mph and I thought jeeze cat five that'll work! Wrong. It's flat out not good enough. I INot enough when you're in a forest. I'll clean it up, take it back and get one that does 250 mph.
     

     

    I see that you had fun with the stronger one

    @Dave1291 

     

    You may be interested in this album if you don’t already have it 

    But have a listen to the whole album on your favourite platform first, as it may not be to your taste 

     

    I just can’t find my copy but I remember buying it when it was first released 

    So I was looking to replace it 

     

    Richard Wright - Wet Dreams

     

     

    Got it since january 17th. 1979

  11. The snow is gone , so pity , now it´s cold, wet and misty again,  34 F , no real daylight , no sunny period ...all we see is grey , not so nice . But I´m in a good mood , had a meeting with my lawyer yesterday , things will get difficult but we´re working on a mutual based solution for both parties.  This is important in the interest of my children, they should have as little damage as possible under the divorce.

    That looks like - 

    Organised Kaos or Chaos ?. Or is it 

    Could be a combination of both 

     

    Info below 

     

    Define Chaos

    Chaos is a state of complete disorder and confusion. It is characterized by a lack of organization, structure, and control. Chaos can be found in various aspects of life, from the natural world to human behavior. In nature, chaos can be observed in the unpredictability of weather patterns, the randomness of natural disasters, and the complexity of ecosystems. In human behavior, chaos can manifest in the form of riots, protests, and other forms of social unrest.

    Define Kaos

    Kaos, on the other hand, is a concept that originated in ancient Greek philosophy. It refers to a state of disorder that is not entirely negative. In fact, kaos is often associated with creativity, innovation, and change. Unlike chaos, kaos is not characterized by a lack of structure or control. Rather, it is a state of flux, where old structures are broken down and new ones are formed. In this sense, kaos can be seen as a necessary precursor to growth and progress.

    Here is a table summarizing the differences between chaos and kaos:

    Chaos Kaos
    Complete disorder and confusion State of flux
    Lack of organization, structure, and control Not entirely negative
    Associated with social unrest Associated with creativity, innovation, and change

     

    Thanx for that ..it´s a KAOS only

  17. Had a busy weekend , on friday evening I visited a good old friend of mine in a neighborhood city , took me close to two hours till arrival as there was an accident on the autobahn, we talked a lot, spent a good time till early morning with some bottles of beer and listend to his records and his tube gear , was back home at 4 am.  Yesterday evening I had a female friend in my apartment, we cooked together , had a bottle of wine and talked a lot lot, she left at 1 am. Now I just arrived at home coming back from an audio friend , he bought some from my audio cables and I set up his new audio gear,  placed the speaker in their correct position. He´s happy now . I´ll have some leftovers from yesterday and will have a little dinner now .  Weather is bad cold and rain, so time to make it comfy at home for the rest of the evening .
