That was so long ago that I had practically forgotten about them! All I remember is that the initial thrill wore off. I eventually sold them, because I didn't think they were "special" enough to justify their extremely high price. I would probably consider them great $500/pr speakers. (By...

My budget is a function of time. The longer I wait, the more I can spend. The Sierras would be reachable within a couple of months if I save. I am going to try the new Cambridge S70s before I try anything else, though. Hopefully, they will have the same clean bass as the S30s, just deeper. (If...

If they do manage to create a tiny black hole, it might take time for it to grow to earth-swallowing proportions.:D

Cambridge Audio solves my dilemma! Cambridge has resolved my issue. The S30s have always been tantalizingly, frustratingly close to "perfect". Their only limitations are bass and dynamics. Now Cambridge has introduced the S70s, which are floorstanders with the same drivers and the same...

Yeah. A long time ago the GOP was a lot different (Roosevelt, of all people, was a Republican!) There has not been a single decent Republican candidate in my lifetime, though. These days, the Democrats are not doing much better. I would vote Libertarian or idependent, if I thought they...

Here is a really nice system that is currently half price:http://www.wildwestelectronics.net/moshmospsy30.html. (The site has a few other MS systems, as well.)

Of all the bovine manure perpetrated by the creationist idiots, the "just a theory" argument has to be the worst. They are making the really basic mistake of confusing the everyday usage of the word "theory" (roughly equivalent to "hypothesis") with the scientific meaning (essentially the same...

The only real question is whether history will call him the worst president of all time, or merely the second-worst (after Nixon.)

With one exception.

In light of the above discussion, it is pretty gutsy of the guy (perhaps I should say the asshat, LOL) on my permanent ignore list to show up here. (He knows who he is.)

If I truly do decide that I am satisfied with small bookshelves (time will tell), then it opens up a lot of options for me. There are a ton of bookshelves for under $1000/pr that look really nice.

I don't really care enough to try and do something about it. To me, the whole rep thing is kind of silly, anyhow. I agree, however, that "ashat" is a pretty good description of the person in question, LOL.

I used to have 3 green chicklets. There is a specific individual who has made it his personal quest to reduce that number (he would single-handedly put me in the red if he could!):rolleyes:

3db is right. The Klipsch sound is like licorice, you love it or hate it. As one who hates it, I can't stand listening to Klipsch for more than a few minutes at a time.

Mostly how interesting they look, the descriptions on the websites, and reviews (including here.) I won't try any that I can't return. What we have here in OKC is Circuit City, Best Buy (without Magnolia), Ultimate Electronics, and a B&W dealer. That's it.

It is not that I like the DT's bass (for music, it is fine for HT.) It is that their design is supposed to be indistinguishable from a TL, and yet I don't find it natural-sounding. This suggests that I might not like a "real" TL any better. I lean more towards the conclusion I stated above...

Before the first A-bomb was tested, some of the scientists involved thought that the chain reaction could continue into the surrounding air, ultimately detonating the entire earth's atmosphere. Of course, this did not stop them from testing it anyway!:eek:

The Def Techs are a transmission-line design.

After another extensive round of A/B/Cing between my Primus 250s, Cambridge S30s, and Def Tech BP8Bs last night, I have reached a counterintuitive conclusion: It may be that I simply don't like powerful bass! On the larger speakers, acoustic bass in a jazz setting (eg Norah Jones) has the kind...
