What a minimalist approach.

What baffles me is that getting the experience right shouldn't be so hard. Like running a bath for a small child I. E. Put your hand in and check the temp. Likewise getting the cinema experience "right" should not be much more complicated than making sure it's clean and then a sensible human...

Check with Jim gore. His drivers are highly efficient top of the line beyma etc. Nothing but the best and nothing inappropriate about it. I also didn't realise this but the OB design eats power. We were sitting listening at fairly high but not uncomfortable levels and I was surprised to discover...

Is everyone who's building an OB speaker here aware of how power hungry they are? I was going to build a pair myself till I heard 250w of Krell power (which is the official power - actual is more like 380w) being swallowed up by a set of OBs. Said person is now using power in the 600w to 700w...

at the entry level youre not looking for everything in the package nor can you get it. Do a quick check online for faults with those models to identify any concerns. Assuming there is nothing major then decide on the one or two factors which are most important for you. Could be black levels...

He's looking for a wife that's all.

I wont mention his wife. The complimentary terms i would use may easily be misconstrued. I days of yore it could easily have lead to a duel at dawn.

I would have to endorse the sentiments expressed here. True gentleman.

Maybe our heads are getting bigger and the headphones are following

They also spring up to follow the money. There appears a never ending supply of Europeans and Americans with huge buying capacity and appetite for nice stuff.

Maybe Im being too optimistic but where behemoths gobble up and homogenise everything if the masses feel a want it opens a crack for a new cottage industry to emerge and meet the desire for more esoteric goods and services. Look at the 100 super high end brands noone knew of or didnt exist 10...

I read a quote recently which I loved. I'm paraphrasing but it basically said: "You probably have a pretty good gut feel for how dumb the average person is around you. Now remember there 50% of all people who're even dumber than that."

Well said Trompie! If I had bolts of lighting above my morning tea I'd DEFINITELY want a fuse in there somewhere  :ROFLMAO:

I think you're an interesting person and you should stay man. We have a range of people on this forum of differing knowledge levels and you cant hold it against the mods for their actions. I have to quote Brooke Shields here: "?f you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life." If...

I heard 909s once at a show and luster after them ever since. It was a terrible show where everyone was playing their mostly rubbish systems simultaneously in a big event hall. Would love to hear those in a proper setup and quiet space.

I know I'm not a sociopath (wife is a psychologist and confirms this  :2thumbs:) but I dont know why I'm always left feeling totally and absolutely devoid of any feeling about any of these companies going under. I've owned and loved and sold some Porsches for example. If they went under tomorrow...

We heat 200m2 of 600m2 on R350 of gas per month. Open plan so not contained. Seems fair to me. Keeps the house at around 22 degrees throughout winter.

:groovy: - understood. Like I said was not directed at you specifically and it seems the wrong end of the stick is firmly in hand. However...I still think Blizzard's point was sorely in need of making having heard a lot of p*ssy-whipped sounding comments on this forum over the years. As the...

+1. Not specifically towards the Op. Just in general this is a comment long overdue here. I wouldn't apologise for calling it how it is. If your wife keeps your gonads in her jewelery box I'd say it's time to reclaim them. I contribute enough to my family (as does my wife) to have some decision...
