Wow, this is one tough crowd. There is quite a resentment of Bayliners
here. Glad I don't own one. Reminds me of the audiophile areas I
frequent. Ever hear of Bose speakers? They are to audio what Bayliner
is
to boats. No highs- no lows-- must be Bose.



I've never understood the clamor for Bose speakers. To me, they sound
like...small speakers. When it comes to reproducing sound accurately, I
don't believe you can fool the laws of physics.

There are some very small speakers coming of age with awesome sound.
Using ceramics, and rare earth magnets.


I'm sure, but I don't know enough about the physics of accoustics to
understand how a tiny speaker can move the air necessary to create the low
sounds found in the serious music I enjoy. As an example, I have an old
Hammond B3, with a Leslie speaker. It's a fine electronic organ, though
certainly not state of the art. I can make it emulate a pipe organ, and it
sounds fine doing so. But it doesn't sound like anything Dirk Flentrop
built.

And won't come close to anything that Hope Jones built

While not a physics expert, I agree with the moving air statement.
That being said, I don't know how they do it, but they do. Some high
end small speakers surprise you with there sound. Does your B3 have
the turntable speaker? LOVE those!

In fact, I've never heard anything electronic that truly "sounds just
like" a REAL Leslie speaker!

And I agree about Bose - never liked them. Geez, they've been using
ceramics and rare-earth magnets for 40 years...

I have a Marantz 2325 driving homebuilt 3-way speakers (the wood alone
cost almost $1000) Haven't heard a "modern" system that can beat it yet.
