@baranyi , I wish I could have been there. *S* To be truthful and cards face up, I've not had the opportunity, the 'treasure', nor the pleasure to hear either IRL either. Not that I've not wanted to; it'd be great fun to do so, to meet and greet Dale and hear his wares. And the GP units as well; it'd give another 'reference' to help fit the pieces of the puzzle that I push about with my endeavour. Working in a vacuum of sorts has it's benefits but also it's drawbacks.... I don't get distracted or dismayed, tempted to toss the towel in the former But, I don't know how close nor how far I've yet to go, either. Feedback from you and others, despite how different we may perceive what we hear from what we're listening to, is to me invaluable. And I'll thank you for that. *VBS* ^5's* @frazeur1 , one has to learn from the failures, in order to avoid them going on. ;) Such is life, and the main lesson of evolution. I take the following 'quote' somewhat Seriously: "If you push something hard enough, it will fall over." — Fudd's First Law of Opposition. From: I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus, a 1971 comedy album by the Firesign Theatre. Also referenced by the FT themselves as 'dope humour of the '70's" *L* I grew up in LA getting 'bain gramaged' by such...much to the surprise (and, perhaps, the dismay of some) in a rather Positive Fashion. *G* You Are what ate you while you thought you were eating it. Whatever you may have been consuming...but I'm wandering off-topic yet again. *s* Was recently in the 'First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions' forum here @ AG, where I discerned a great hint as to what sort of Xover I might experiment with on my 'toys'; a L/R 2nd order version. Unfortunately, I also suspect that I kicked the parking brake on during a lively 70mph discussion.... Now, I don't want to get a 'rep' as a 'thread killer'...far from that is my intent nor desire. I'm just another Seeker amidst the Wilder Mess. But I do suspect I hit a major nerve in the audio organism: The limits of certain speaker designs, and what can be done to make them work properly before you introduce them to a given space with whatever you drive them with. And, how individual perception plays THE major role in that perception. Or, I may have exported my crickets Elsewhere. Oh, well. *L* They'll be back at some point. ;) Meanwhile, Happy end of DST; Time to Fall Back into relative time distortion, v.2 of 2, 2019. Let's jerk reality around yet again.... A side 'note' of sorts: Here's what I torture my toys with of late.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQeOm3CuUFY Go to 20:30 for an apt comment I take to heart. The rest? PLAY LOUD! *L* Have a good Sundaze....*S* |
Well, progress of a sort...*G* Have spent some free time setting up 3 of the 4 pairs of my Walsh drivers with hf Walsh variants. The 4th pair is a 'goof spoof', a pair of vintage Utah 2 ways 'Walshed' (typical woofer, faced down with a 3x7 horn 'Ohm style'...i.e., aimed @ your face); not 'Hoyle', but loud 'n fun.... Basically, they're all becoming test rigs, to see what will tame their response to variations in 'formatting'...a handy term for 'enhancing' the cones with 'adds' to their surfaces. This may be to the interiors, exteriors, bottom edges....play with the xover to see 'where they play happy... Since they're different sizes and combinations, it ought to keep me out of or into trouble for awhile. *G* |
