Why the cost increase?

Mr ps you can leave any time you like, and take your post with you as for the thread, this is an experiment.

As long as YOU self govern with at least some moderation the moderators won't kill the thread. Why on earth would they. 

I just took a nap and woke up to a ghost who's father is 20 years younger than his son.  Isn't that kinda what happened with the first Terminator.
The kid Connor was actually older than his DAD? Something like that.
Any ways No problemo!

All from stuff costing to much? I'll never take another nap as long as I live.. I woke up the washing machine was leaking water all over the place and the dog was tuggin' on my hand..

The water pump in the washing machine had a rock go through the pump and tear the heck out of the impeller.  149.00 and I get it by tomorrow.. 18 years old Samsung. Outlasted my Maytag and 149.00 fixed it... 

Now back to the cost of parts.. and Gouging SOBs. I found 24 1 1/8" ring domes brand new in the box and 18 ribbons in the box. Maybe I'll do up a LS of the two..

I've never done a narrow baffle LS with domes..  I've never even seen one. They were all real wide front baffles. QLS1, or Genesis. I sure like the Genesis Forte.. Buddy has a pair.. I'd buy a pair If I couldn't make make better for 10th the price.. BUT if I was gonna pay for speakers..
Genesis would be the one..

I wonder how much they have gone up in the last 18 months?

Regards

heavy there was ( going from memory, which is sometimes fuzzy ) a pretty narrow baffle Mac line source w domes… XRT-20 as i recall, but it was designed to be mounted on a wall…

Geez I’m a Mac guy. I forgot. I’ll give them a look see..

I just looked!

I remember those. I've never listened to a pair. 

Thanks..

Interesting "experimental " thread where "self control" is the true implicit goal!

Thanks to the OP....
