Bill, I too was blown away by your metronomes. They adhere to the spirit of monogamous amps (one amp - one driver) that I believe in (me = triamp) but you had such incredible sound from that one driver - must be the perfect phase coherency you achieve with no crossover!

I'd really like to measure your speakers to see what they are doing. Maybe we could set up a norcal group to all take open field measurements of the same speakers at the same time and compare all our results - a sort of measurement calibration round robin to see if we all measure the same thing? Would need some ground rules but I'd be happy to chair such an event. We could then self certify!

Anyone else interested in such detail?

Iain,

Jeez, I'm blushing again!

I'd be happy to schlepp them around for measurement. As it happens, my son is a freshman at UC Santa Cruz, so it wouldn't take too much incentive to get me down there for a visit. Anywhere in between would be OK, too.

My own measurement facilities are sadly limited (Radio Shack meter, on-motherboard PC sound chip, and ARTA), a measurement session would be a great learning opportunity for me.

It might be worth starting a thread to guage the interest and find a workable time and place.

BTW, I've posted this in another thread where you may not find it. Here's a screen shot of a Praxis FR measurement of the Metronomes takes at the NorCal DIY meet in Sacramento the day before BA.

Cheers,

Bill

Hey! My son is a freshman at UC Santa Cruz! Porter College
SY is set up for measuring so might be interested.

... is safely ensconced in Europe, but through a long series of bizarre circumstances (which could only happen to him!), he finds himself with no computer access whatsoever.

But he'd like you all to know that before his computer died he was writing an article on the design and construction of the ImPasse. Stay tuned.

Hi TheEyeLady,
This will be a construction article as far as my last conversation with SY was headed. I am looking forward to it.

I'm not surprised he finds himself cut off actually. The fact he made it to his destination is good to hear.

Just to give you idea what was going on...
In this arranged shot Anatech was seen vacuuming goods

Is he prepared for this year's Porter Run?

My boy's in Crown College, majoring in Computer Science / Game design. He may wind up an audiophile someday - his choice of Ipod headphones (without any input from me) was a pair of Grado SR60's!

My son Matia was in charge of collecting admission and drink donations...
Here he is seen in the middle between two cash box robbers who are trying to offer him beer in exchange for the cash box seen on the table.
Wait the minute, I recognize the guy on the right. That is kstlfido who suppose to be tracing tubes in the back room. Here he is seen dealing with different bottles.

Hi Vladimir,
Oops!

Caught in the act.
