When that happens, it’s a clear indication that your speakers are in the wrong position. Next thing, you may find that Pink Floyd sounds like Blue Oyster Cult, and you don’t want that, do you? You have to place the speakers side by side, aimed apart at a 45 degree angle from straight ahead, so they form a 90 degree angle with each other. This will give you the best approximation of being at an outdoor concert, about 200 metres from the stage. It’s either that, or buy a pair of Jubilees. Then, you won’t have to worry about Ghostbusters sounding like I Want a New Drug. And you’ll have the approximation of being at an outdoor concert, in the second row. If you want to get the front-row feeling, you’ll have to sit on the floor 1.5 - 2 metres (5 - 6.5 feet) from the fronts of the speakers. Of course, you could do nothing, but you can’t lie to your ears. Well, you can, but they’ll figure it out before long, and then you’ll be watching hockey games just to hear the organ player. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 That's Funny @Islander But I'd bet that JJ and Knopfler could play each others music! To me that's like comparing Clapton to Koettke 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a teen, I was a fan of Dire Straits and Knopfler's solo projects (mostly movie scores). I have most of his albums on vinyl and recently I bought all the dire straits albums on CD (they are dirt cheap now...) Mark Knopfler has aged well and he's a great guy. He still posts some interesting videos on you*ube and he is still recording. He does is for the love of music and not for the money (he's filthy rich, or should be...) This is one of my heroes (like Van Morrison), and when they speak, I shut up and listen! And here's Eric Clapton and JJ Cale on guitars.... ... And now I understand why someone above said JJ Cale is the 'mentor' of Mark Knopler. Just watch this. This solo is soooooo Knopfler (it's the other way round, I know...) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Thank you for postin g about JJ Cale here. For some reason, he was never on my radar. Now it is an instant like! And JJ Cale sounds soooo great on my 1972 Heresies. Can't be a coincidence!!!!!!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Yes we have discussed him here in past. He had done it all. From Leon to Bob, he and Muscle Shoals studio, he collaborated with alot of names. Especially like the song, Momma don't allow no... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 JJ Cale wrote so many made famous by others. We probably all heard lots of them fifty years ago without even knowing that. That was the case with me until reading Clapton's liner notes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
