I was introduced to this stuff by the chef, at the restaurant where we had dinner tonight.
It was given to him as a present, so he has no idea what it is.
So, question of the day:
Who knows what this is?
There is a wooden cross swimming around in the bottle, and it's supposedly from Balkan.

ya drekkin me ?
that's Pljoska , with engraved Serbian Shield ;
Pljoska is intended for Mučenica , known also as Plum Brendy , known also as Rakija
Magura said:
Hey, that's pretty funny, really what are the odds to stumble on such a nice bottle of Rakija here in Danske countryside ?
Could you tell some more about that Pljoska ?
Magura
Pljoska ( read that "lj" as "L" in Russian "Lubov" .... meaning "Love" ; sorry for latin , but I don't know and don't have russian cyrilic on my KB)
anyway - Pljoska means that thing is sorta thin compared to radius ; not exactly as Flat in English ;
anyway - yo can see that form in almost any Western movie , for carrying water ..... and sometimes Burning Water
Serbs use it from ancient times as symbol - almost every family have one , and drink in it is used for Zdravica ( Cheers ) in almost any important situation - as Venčanje (Wedding) , Krštenje ( Sacrament) , Rođenje (Birth) , Slava (patron saint day) etc.
in some areas even for funerals .
just for fun - here is ( just taken , under plain electric light ) pic of ZM's bottle ; you can see , even if blurred - cross made of Mulberry ;
anyway - I hope that one day we'll make not just one cheers from this bottle
(sometimes I wish that my AR2 is much closer , if nothing else - for proper photo shooting

Yeah, let's agree we at least have two shots of Rakija, is next Wednesday good for you?
AR2 ought to get his chubby behind back to Europe, we totally agree !

EDIT: Well, thanks for the explanation, this is something new to me.
bla bla bla, right?
I need measuring equipment !! or I will go crazy
To start -
-it is using the >95db crossover.
-woofer = JBL 2206H
-enclosure = 2ft3 sealed - very low Q(~.4) - wiked heavy damped box - waiting for subs.
The woofer sounds real good (as it should), and can take a real beating.
Preliminary impressions:
First I want to say that this has the most potential of anything I've had here. It really does! I think it's a keeper. I want to say this first, because here are some negatives for my combo.
-not as efficient as I expected, yeah I know the closed box isn't ideal for efficiency but it is more than capable with enough power. The WG setup is 'choked' a bit with the comp network, and we must live with that. The WG setup seems to get a bit congested sounding at high spl(pretty high). HMMM - HOMS - foam? Or maybe I just reach it's limit ??
-I have found that the more power you give my particular setup, the better it gets. Ya know - 30w class A isn't right for it. The Krell Klone ~60wpc doesn't seem to do it either. I dusted off a cheapo Onkyo 150 wpch amp I have here and they came to life! It sounds better at all levels with more juice - wierd. I have got to DIY some higher voltage amps me thinks (or shhh, keep the cheapo onkyo there, it actually sounds really good... shhh).
- Ya gotta toe them in strong and get them off axis - way nicer that way. Yep big difference.
All that said - I like. Looking forward to gettin them better, and I think the potential is huge!
Thanks for the tip about e'wave, Choke-ster.
EDIT: I have some 8" drivers kicking around that sim well in a ~1ft3 total bandpass 4th order. check out the sim with the mains....
probably throw one together using sonotube and see how good it works. If it's good, I'll make a few.
EDIT EDIT: Manu, how's that ONO

try some old school spk , not modern mega watt drek .......... even if JBL
then you'll hear speed and all that mumbo jumbo , with lowish powered amps
anyway - where you are listening da muzak ? in open space , between two barns ?
btw - just for fun - you can try 811B with this xover and Seleniums

Dunno - I'm talking about overall characteristics. I think the Altec horn might be better 25 feet away. Time is limited overall so I can't spend too much experimenting. Gotta pick a direction and go with it
Don't misunderstand - the ewave sounds very very good.

send that drek to me , for proper disposal ........
