D-MAN Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Max, it's a paradigm shift, and we were there. How cool is that?! DM[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieboy Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 One or 2 minor changes is all: Instead of recommending tubes we now recomend Solid state pro amps for your Khorns. Minimum wattage has been up'ed from 3.5 watts to 350 watts. The new paradigm for purchasing a pair of speakers - rather than simply connecting them and learning what you do and do not like whilst building up some knowledge along the way is to leap straight into crossover design, amplifier selection and the benefits or otherwise of cork-sealing the speakers into the wall whilst discussing the relative merits of pro-amps Vs tubes. It doesnt matter how old an X-over is parts replacement is a waste of time. Testing replacement X-overs can be done on a single speaker in 5 minutes. Everyone listens at minimum SPL's of 110 dB and needs at least another 15 for peaks. All DVD's boast a 24 bit soundtrack capable of 144 dB dynamic range - that crappy compressed sound you are hearing is entirely due to your underpowered amps (see item 2 above). Nobody needs an SPL meter for measuring the SPL's covered in 6 above - this can be done entirely by eye using a $5 meter and a cattleprod. Just hold the prod near the speaker and press the button - the voltage swing on the meter can be measured as a reasonable guess as to the watts you are using which can then be turned into dB. The forum's definition of success is to be a deaf millionaire lawyer. Can't see anything else untoward - just another day in the twilight zone. 1 Pair Bermuda shorts 1 Love triangle Simmer over a low heat for several months - stiring ocasionally adding spice as necessary and you have the perfect "Thebes Effect". The Christmas Goose sounds interesting. The boogie has nothing to do with it. Who got banned this year? Missed it again. Damn that's good. My favs are 1,2,6, and 9!

Timmikid Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yup, I was a bit cranky lately and KT88 was digging for stuff and putting it out of context and I was glad to be able to behave myself somewhat in my answers. Anyway, the new year has begun and has many promises, also on audio territory. Let the good times roll and spin those discs! Good to be here! [] Happy new year! I hope I am still allowed to say this, never knew when etiquette prohibits that wish, is it the fourth or the sixth? [*-)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
