Hi Chris,

I agree with you. 100%

Problem is, all we're doing is shooting ourselves in the foot.

I'm sure you've been out and about and looked around.
On the whole, the majority of things aren't built to last anymore, and we surely aren't replacing as much as we're using...

I didn't plant a single tree for the last 4 veneered speakers that I built.

Did anyone else?

regards,
Thanh.

Yes.
Apple, Sycamore and Oak.

Then I showed her your post...
I think she's still laughing.

Must be nice to be the only humans that don't hear with their eyes. Keep on laughing

Just for those who don't know, my speakers are always hidden, they are not visable at all. If you come to hear them you have to ask to see them, which I may or may not do.

If the subject is going to drift at this point onto field coil power supplies, I would be interested to hear people's thinking as to whether constant current is most important or constant voltage. This is a subject about which I am very ignorant, but I do know from my experience with Feastrex field coils that the power supply definitely has a big influence on the sound.

Both.

Hint: Voltage will infer transient dynamic stability. Ie, the correctness of one as measured against any other.

Current brings the cone to the correct position to delineate the next.

Hi Earl,

How do you achieve that?

Thanh.

Maybe he turns the lights off.

He said it before, putting them behind a curtain.

Well it's probably too late for me. Stick a fork in me, I'm done with speakerbuilding.

So we can conclude you're quite happy with your NaO's ???
I wish someone has a pair in Melbourne, I'd dearly like to hear them.

When in doubt, use looks and price as a proxy for quality.

[Bratislav]
Yup.

Right now you can see sagging electrical tape on the edges, no roundovers etc, clearly D-I-Y. But each time I want to take a weekend off to dissassemble them to finish em, someone will say "Who cares?"

Family members just want to keep on listening.

Troels Gravesen's ScanSpeak '2.95' ProAc "clones" were immediately retired. Now taking up space in a guest bedroom.

Against the Thors? In short, the Thors were knocked for a six in the first over, as we say. ("KO!" for our American friends) But first impressions can often be wrong, so I listened for longer, over several weeks. I listened to both in their optimal placement positions, and in 2 separate rooms.

Then I put them side by side for a weigh-in and photoshoot, and lugged the Thors upstairs. They now live in the kids' games room.
