Without a doubt, the Altec Lansing thread. It just does something to my insides.

I would be biased, and agree with Cals first choice. What I thought would lead to a show and tell thread, went further than that. A lot of emotion, and revisited memories to many.

Another of my frequently visited threads is the full range driver pics:

This is a good starting place for newcomers, Used Full Range Drivers.

And this one, started by a newcomer, who was having a ball with old console drivers.

Line Array Systems

While it started out as a discussion on MY line arrays, and it got occasionally vociferous, it went for more than 116 posts, and almost 8000 views.

Its still the longest running discussion on designing and building of line arrays on this forum anyhow.

A second close one was on comb filter distortion in line arrays at:

A very educational and entertaining thread. Well worth reading through:
Another discussion on what to build speakers out of...

 

[Variac]

Here's one of many threads started by someone asking what speakers to build. It mentions the usual (good) suspects:

Especially ScottG's post:

Of course one should also look at designs in the full range forum too..

Here are the "glorious four" threads that deal about stereophonic imaging and unusual ways of achieving it. In my opinion four is already three too much, so in the hope it won´t become even more:

general thread
room-speaker-interaction
ambiophonics
other unusual implementations

This is about the "poo-pooing" of subjective comments, comments which are frankly *central* to a forum like this.

I'm putting this one in here for myself - just so that I can find it again, because I'm fairly certain I'll need to link to it to convey the same message all over again.

I'd like to read reasonable subjective comments myself, because there is at least some passion behind them, well, mostly.

And talking about passion, I think this is it:
