Hey K.....tt, Do you even have speakers??


If so, please enlighten us all as to your current system!  My guess is casio clock radio, on isolation platforms in a tuned room of course!

  I was just reflecting on 9 years of this hobby, and every pair of my 50+ speakers has brought me immense satisfaction.  Why are you so sad and disgruntled but more importantly, if you hate hifi, mainly speakers, why do you come here?

Hi, doodle 6. I don’t understand. Do you think I have owned a lot of speakers or kenjit has owned a lot of speakers? Because this thread is not alluding to either conclusion.
Nope not for me,,going around swaping speakers,, I am old school, I started my research way back in early 1970;' sand when the I finally had to hang up my Philips 2 ways,,I went on another search. SEAS Thors. Bought the kit back in 2000ish, never looked elsewhere, Been with me now 20 yrs, and will be the only speaker til end of my road. About to have Madisound rebuild my xovers,,and good-to-go,,except one day i might recone one or 2 of the lower midbass, as my cat had used it as a  scratch post and ripped 2 holes in the sourrounds. 
No bid deal, sonds just fine. 
did you say 50 speakers in 9 years,,,lol,,hahah,,too funny.

" yes most diy designs are just glorified mdf cabinets."

then in a response to this question
So, by extension, as speakers are made of a handful of materials, what is the ideal material the oh enlightened one?
mdf



@thecarpathian , I’m the op.  I was trying to get to the bottom of what speakers Kenjit has but then had to defend why I’ve had so many speakers over the past 8 years (around 22 pairs of speakers).  

I am curious as to what speakers Kenjit listens to because he’s on many occasions said that we’ve all been duped, we have crappy hearing, any off the shelf generic speaker is suitable for us.  He’s stated that all speakers sound horrible, so I was wondering what he listens to at home and if he’s satisfied.  If he’s not satisfied, why come to an audio website just to tell us all that audio products suck and that we have been duped, have crappy hearing, and don’t enjoy our stereo set-ups.


Doodle, sounds like you’ve got a good, if not great, wife 👍
