True, but I also have a powerful detractor. With 174 thanks, I am supposed to be up to at least 5 or 6 "greens" by now.

Def Tech Mythos are tall but skinny, very sleek looking, powerful, and sound great (a bit pricey, though.)

"Political facts" is an oxymoron, like "military intelligence", "religious truth", or "jumbo shrimp".:p

I have had the opposite experience, with an increasing appreciation of affordable equipment. In particular, I prefer the $220/pr speakers I have now to the $1500/pr speakers I used to own!

How is a big, featureless black box "sexy"?:confused: I am sure it sounds great, but let's face facts here, it isn't much to look at!:rolleyes:

Smoke is smoke, regardless of the method. It is all extremely unhealthy, and smells putrid. (The worst are cigars, though. I want to puke when I get within smelling distance of one of those!)

Down to $3.17 today.

I grew up in Norman.

Within any religion, only a tiny fraction are of the extremist nutcase variety. Not only is the total far less than a billion, I doubt if it is much over a few hundred thousand. I keep hoping that the "rapture" will come and take them all away, leaving the earth for those of us with at least...

I listen at the level that sounds right to me. I have no idea what that might be in dB, nor do I especially care.:)

Maybe all the review samples that Dali sent out were of the Ikon6.

Voting against all Republicans, whatever the office!:) (Note: I am tolerant of the vast majority of religions. It is extremists like born-again baptists and muslim fundamentalists that I have serious issues with.)

It temporarily reached a high of $3.69 here, but today it is back down to $3.39.

The Canadian NRC did come up with a few guidelines regarding the properties a speaker should have. These guidelines must be valid, because all the Canadian speaker manufacturers who follow them are quite successful, and are generally percieved as making good products. What I would really like...

I know the feeling! I voted against Bush twice, and it did no good at all. Hopefully, we can keep the right wingers out this time around. (As for Palin, anyone who is "born again" is obviously too impervious to logic to be trusted with running a country!)

It seems logical that the audible effect of cabinet resonance would increase with loudness, reaching a maximum when the speakers are driven near their limits. Is this correct?

The immense amount of money being hemhorraged into an utterly useless war every day is the real root of the problem.

If one adds bracing inside of an existing cabinet, will the volume of air displaced by the bracing material negatively impact the sound? If not, wouldn't simply adding a few braces to an existing cabinet be a really cost-effective way to get better sound (especially for relatively cheap speakers)?

This thread is in the wrong place. It belongs in the DIY corner.

Unless your electronics lack sufficient power or have become noisy from age, replacing them will not make a big audible difference (though you might get some new features.)
