DizRotus Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Which would be your weapon of choice in an amp fight, Moondog or VRD, and why?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> For the purpose of answering the above question, assume that the civil use of written words has failed us (not hard to imagine). Instead of a civilized debate, were in an open field hunkered down behind the speakers of our choice with the opposition 100 away using the speakers of their choice as protection. As in most things audio, there are no universally correct or incorrect answers, only opinions. The Moondogs would be easier to throw with accuracy, whereas the VRDs would inflict greater damage if you scored a direct hit. Conversely, the VRDs have more tubes that could be used as ammunition prior to heaving the rest of the unit. OK, its a ridiculous premise to use amplifiers as weapons of combat. But, its only slightly more ridiculous than trying to convince someone that your preferred amplifier is better than his/her preferred amplifier for playing music.

I'll need a pair of extra-extra strong pair of power chords with my VRD's; as I intend to whirl them around like a lasso while lopping off the heads of my victims. Man, it's a good thing I have a long skinny neck. You don't know mean until you've come across an angry ostrich [8o|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Why the heck did you have to drag my amplifier into the perspective fight [:'(] You almost make me want to cry. I think I'd show up to the fight properly outfitted with a 357 [] No amplifier deserves that kind of treatment. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Ummmmm, I just like my Moondogs. I enjoy the music through them. They are paid for. The only downside I find with the Moondogs is that they don't generate as much heat as a pair of VRDs would, and heat would be nice with the thermometer dropping the way it is. I am not gonna knock the VRDs. I just couldn't afford them. And, once again, at the levels I listen at, my "dogs" are doing just fine.

3dzapper Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 You go with your 357 pop gun you'll be clipping the ground at 100 yards. I'll use my 270 Wby mag from 700 yds the hit will push/pull you right down.[] Or maybe a silent, low power distortionless ambush SET from a tree at 60 yards with my bow. Every man for himself!!!!!

3dzapper Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 From what distance can you nail a parrot? Do clay pigeons at 700 yards count? With a bow, the 5 ring is about 5" on the 80 yard butt. How big is a parrot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Neil, I don't know how heavy the VRDs are, but I think you have never picked up a pair of Moondogs. They weigh in pretty heavy too. Cariag - how much do those monsters weigh? Or anyone else who owns a pair, what does a single weigh? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
