No they fix it right away. From personal experience.

I own Haval H1 and H2, both under warranty (5 yrs 100,000kms), both are well put together and finished. You would never guess they are approaching 5 years old. BMW sales manager I know raves about them, Toyota engines, European designers, even if they price gouge in the future you can choose not...

Haval H1 beats them all, find a 2019-20 model with another year on the warranty for about R150,000. Brand loyalty can be expensive. Chinese cars are as well made and designed as anything from Europe these days, just like Japanese cars were 50 years ago!

Good point AlienLlama about musical instruments! I sing in two choirs in George, one male voice the other mixed. Reputedly a very therapeutic pastime as the pleasure hormones flow freely! A certain Dr Hamer in Germany found a statistical connection between music and healing in the late 70’s...

Percy, if you’ve had 15 years out of your Quads I’d consider that excellent value! There is nothing quite like them and I gave away my ESL 63 shortly after immigrating to Wilderness 20 years ago when the high humidity finished off two panels. Their build quality doesn’t really justify much...

I really hope an Admin passes on this outpouring of love and appreciation for Mike to his nearest and dearest, so incredible!

Sad news indeed May the sun make your days bright And the stars illuminate your nights May the flowers bloom along your path And your house stand firm against the storm And until we meet again May God hold You in the palm of his hand I don’t know about resting in peace, he has work to do!

Agreed, could point to some effects of the diffusers, very close to the speakers. I am always puzzled by our fixating on levelling speakers; is it really important?

Resonance is a deep subject. As a physics student at Imperial College in the late 60’s I recall joining the whole department on a rag week stunt to find the resonant frequency of Putney Bridge! We jumped up and down in unison for a while then retired to a local pub with our collecting tins...

I did see a picture of Siegfried Linkwitz at home in his lounge and he had suspended the satellite speakers (I think based on LS3/5a) from the ceiling with a pair of subs using B139 drivers behind. No extra vibes there, but you again have to be sure of your placement!

No need to halve them, when “squashed” a bit they tend to stay put. The air is more effective then. You get more air in the music!

Squash balls for everything: Valve electronics SS electronics Speakers on the floor, speakers on stands CD players (Dot color totally irrelevant, Vaal) The four legs of my listening chair……..

It used to be called “publicity” and leads to more business. Now it’s a “no-no” and leads to spam.

Will do Werner, enjoying my Trichord DINO from Charles, now thinking of giving it some fresh “input”!
