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

@kenjit 

" 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 👍

@ bailyhill
  I have had the same pair of speakers since 1984---Apogee Scintilla Ribbons. Still have them and enjoy them more than ever.

If you ever want to part with them, let me know. I have the amps to drive the heck out of them at 1 ohm setting!

Just to answer the query, I have currently got 14 speakers in my systems (including one AV room) as well as a half dozen Sonos network speakers.

I envy b_limo's ability to experience all those speakers. More importantly the audible sonic reference he may have acquired. While most of my Hi-Fi speakers systems were bettered by their replacements their sale helped supported those merry-go-round years. 

To my surprise many of my vintage Electric / Double Bass amplifiers and cabinets have appreciated in value and collectability. Unknowingly, I kept them simply for their utility of size. Heading out with an instrument and the Avalon U5 DI is way cool.  

Hey, b_limo, I know, we are definitely on the same page when it comes to him and his ridiculous threads.
Big time expert on any and all speakers. Yet won't answer the simplest of questions. He's also recently stated he doesn't own any speakers.
It's doodle 6 that seems to be confused......hence my response to him.
