I haven't been on for nearly that long... I've been on for much less time, and I can't be sure that I saw it on here or on one of the other forums... but it's definitely been around the block once or twice. (Not that there's anything wrong with that IMO) As far as the analog setup in the...

This has to be the first time in my life that I've actually grown more fond of a company because of one of their products failing! :eek: The amp on one of my Ultra12's went out suddenly some time recently (at first I didn't notice... just finished rearranging the furniture on the other side...

Me too... if he didn't live on the other side of the country I'd be looking for him right now. I'm sure these are long gone... but if he's willing to take that much of a hit once - then he's definitely someone I would want to stay in contact with so I'd be there when it happened again! :D

LOL! I wish you would have come to this conclusion about 6 months ago... I could have saved $200 on the pair I bought. If it weren't for the look on my wife's face I would probably pick them up and run four Ultra12's - but I'd probably have to use them for seating then because I wouldn't have...

I think they are both fairly attractive speakers. However, I think the PSB's win hands down in the looks department. At least until you set the stacks of cash you saved on the top of the EMP's... then I find them quite a bit more attractive. :D

I would highly recommend it. I haven't been to their offices, but if the experience is anything like their online/phone business... it will be something special. I would put their customer service up there with the best luxury automobile dealerships... in addition to the manner in which they...

First of all I would like to salute you on your exquisite taste in music. :D If you're really planning on spending no more than a year with the speakers and will then want to be upgrading with some more cash... I would highly recommend taking a look at Aperion. I recommend them not only...

I would have to say that you'd actually have to try pretty hard to come up with something that only sounded similar to the BOSE systems provided you maintained the same budget. Now if you mean getting some HTIB from Walmart... then maybe. The real issue is exposure. As people (even casual...

And there is likely the entire reason for the difference. Different driver designs, materials, etc... will have very different excursion levels. If I had to guess at the reason you don't see as much movement (provided again that you are setting yours up exactly as the ones in the video) is...

Uh.... Thank you? :D I guess the other question I would have about how this system would work falls squarely on the broad shoulders of "psychoacoustics" in the article. Although I think Bose has conclusively proven that it's possible to provide astonishingly inacurate FR and still convince...

Not really in the right place (I'd put this in the Loudspeaker thread) - however, I'll throw a quick couple of answers at you. #1: You can't ever determine the sound of speakers via a YouTube video... since the audio was either captured by the camera's microphone, and therefore reflects more...

I think it sounds like a great opportunity. I did something similar a few years ago (OK almost 10 actually). I was working as the assistant MIS manager for a large company with a long established history. The salary was good, the benefits were great, 401K plan was very good... but the work...

I bet they sound like crap but would sell like crazy in the rural south. ;) Maybe if you could come up with an audio rack that looks like a bonfire and sold them as a surround package it would complete the image rather nicely. Seriously though, I guess it's helpful that none of the sides...

I actually interpreted his post as exactly the opposite... and I'm inclined to agree with him if I'm correct in that assumption. Here's my 'translation': "Since I enjoy hearing all of the bass in my house when I'm actually listening to music or watching a movie and do not care if my...

Stop it... you're making me want to go buy one of them now. All rational discussion aside... if someone handed me a SET amp with close to 70W output (assuming a similar reduction from the stated max for distortion sake) and told me I could have it for anything less than $600... it would be a...

I think I posted this in another thread about similar companies, but I'll add it here in case it was on another forum. As someone with significant experience in site design and ecommerce management - I've developed an eye for sites that come packaged as templates. On the one hand they are a...

Although perhaps technically correct in your description, this statement is very confusing and potentially very wrong. Are you saying that for any given driver, the cabinet design has nothing to do with the volume specifically? (In which case I might agree with you - since a speaker without a...

Although minus may be correct about the placebo effect... usually that only comes into play when trying to justify how much you overpaid for a piece of equipment... not how much you underpaid for it. :D At a guess it has to do with the way the ClassD amp interacts with your speakers... and I...

Hit 'em hard. Here's to hoping between your experience and the accounts you own you will be the one looking back and laughing hard at their lack of forethought. :)

I guess my question from all of this (which does in many ways apply directly to the OP although not entirely) is: would any sound engineer ever create a need for anything over the listed specs for a given audio track? Perhaps someone with direct or 2nd hand experience could elaborate. What I...
