Since you love the ribbon and have not yet ordered the four 8" speakers, it might be worth a couple hours to think about a TM-W(12"-15" woofer) alternative that could also meet your bass requirements.

What your saying makes perfect sense but this is just something that can't happen yet. Meddlings will take me there at some point though but likely when I have more room for large footprint and wide baffles.

My camera is loan to parents who are in Tunisia for the week so I can't take a photo but two 80cm x 130cm baffles are looking a bit off in the room. The drivers look lost.

Scott, even they gave the magnitude of improvement over sealed that I experienced today with RAAL vs. dome then I'd come back and tell you they were just average just to spite you

I should have listened to you 3 years back and I would have saved a lot of money! It seems my approach is try what I think is good, realise that I want more and then do what Scott says.

Hey.. I'm just as prone to making mistakes. Lets not forget the B&C power compression debacle of 2006!

The nice thing is.. I've already made more than a few mistakes.. so occasionally I can come off looking like a freak'n genius.

BTW, what did you charge your friend for the invaluable advice?

And no, I prob. wouldn't have saved you squat.. Hmm, seems I bound and determined to vicariously spend you into a blackhole. So, about that compound config. ..............................

But that B&C would have been good as the woofer section in a loudspeaker. It just wasn't daft enough for HT that's all. Quality wise it was pretty impressive if you remember.

I guess my woodworking is your loudspeaker theory. With no constraints about room size, budget etc. I bet we could come up with something immense. Possible future colaboration?

A copy of Razzle and packet of king size Rizla's.

Bah, keeps me clean and off the streets.

Have been listening to these for about 10 hours now Its just after . Don't worry I'll have calmed down about the whole thing tomorrow

This is where "I told you so".. Nah, thats petty.

To me the only descriptor I can ascribe is "special" because there is such a vast difference.

Er... here's petty "I told you so" #2. I can still remember being told off by Shin for using the same word "special" to describe RAALs.

And Kenny G ??? Not even RAALs can make him sound good

Will you ever forgive me?

It does test on those rather thin sax notes though.

If your after a good example of that sort of sound then check out Robert Miles & Trilok Gurtu's "Golden Rust". Now that is one great track, on the RAAL is drips with realism especially the cymbals and strings.

Oh and over 12 hours now

Indeed! On both counts..

I used to play sax (tenor not soprano - what can I say.. I grew up on Foreigner's "Urgent"), and even I can't stand most of the Kenny G I've heard.

Is KennyG any relation Scott?

Not in ANY lifetime!

Now go back to listening and wipe that stupid huge grin off your face.. really, you are embarrassing yourself.

Ahhh, that's better.
If you prefer your sax long, sustained and full of ambience try Jan Garbarek. He'll pack more emotion in two notes than Kenny G recorded in lifetime.

I did spell 'sax' correctly, didn't I ?

Incongruous!

Does this mean a ban on all smilies? Looking back over the last couple of pages I probably nearly broke something with that quota.
