This is the first year I did not get any fishing or boating gear, since I couldn't think of anything I wanted. I got a cheap HP R707 5.1 mp digital camera. Comsumers Report listed it as a best buy in it's range so it should be good enough posting pictures on the net. |

Forgot to mention...my two sons chipped in and bought wife & I a JVC 'Home Theatre in a Box'. They had to order it on line from Future Shop so I hope it comes in a week or so. The wife has been after me to replace the Yamaha stero system I bought in 1983. She thinks the speakers are too big for the home entertainment unit in living room. I resisted until now...if it ain't broke..don't fix/replace it. |

From: Harry Krause I have a pair of 6' tall "electrostatic" speakers a friend gave me a few years ago when he downsized his house. What brand and model? Capt. Bill |
Harry
What did your children get for Dad this Christmas??/ You know,, the children that left you a long time ago,, the ones that no longer associate with you and you with them,,, That is what you said harry,, this is what you posted,, but who knows you have lied in the past.. I know harry,, you can go to Thailand and buy or rape a child under the age of 16 and start again,,, if you buy them, then you will own them and they will have to accept your child abuse and molesting as their mother will be on the other side of the world and cannot simply run to their mother as your real children did,, right harry??? Did your ex wife press charges against you harry??/ For your children leaving you so urgently,, I mean that is what you said,, you said it,, and I only found out about it recently but I always suspected you of being some type of sub human,,, and you posted your IQ this morning at also sub levels,, well lets deal with it... So,, what did the boys get you for Christmas this time there ,,,, Dad ????? What did you get them???

Tube amps do sound very nice... and even when pushed hard, their soft clipping keeps the sound much more listenable. A well-designed solid state amp is technically better sounding, but the human ear can easily hear it's harsh clipping when driven hard. That has a lot to do with why many people prefer tube amps.

Later, Tom I won't argue that with you...the best setup I ever heard had a pair of monster corner Klipschorns driven by McIntosh tube amps. I like the Klipschorn speakers - very kewl. My system is driven by Mac 50's - six of 'em biased and biamped. I've had this system for a LOOOOOOONNGGGGG time. :) But that was many years ago. So much of today's serious music is so overproduced and electronically cleaned, I tend to buy only the "old master" performers on CDs. I like my music the way it sounds in the concert hall, not the way it sounds through a digital mixmaster. I hear you. Later, Tom |

Totally agree. It has to do with how the signal ramps up and down cushioned by the transformers. I LOVE TUBES!!! Besides, they glow in the dark. Tree' ambiance. :) My wife remarked one time when we were sitting in the dim light listening to something WAY back in our younger days that the soft glow of the amps through the perforated covers was very romantic. Being the techno geek I am, I didn't get it. :) Later, Tom |

I'll put my Bozak's up against anything. I used to have a set of the original Cornwalls, but they were too darn big for the living room. They were big weren't they? Damn... One of the biggest I've ever seen was a demonstrator speaker made by JBL. It was one piece stereo speaker made out of maple - 12 foot long, four high and if I had to describe it, it looked like a coffee table overdone on steroids. The other was a set of custom Acoustic Research speakers in a artsy fartsy movie theater located in Metarie, LA - this was back in the early '70s. Damn things took up an entire wall. Later, Tom |
Klipsch Cornwall 2s.

The Klipsch speaker line has always been more about faithfully reproducing the original sound. I have tried this test many times... usually with an acoustic guitar, but also with a few other instruments. Have listeners close their eyes and play a piece of music that is familiar to a musician standing by (with his instrument). Have him ready to jump in and cut off the stereo, then switch back. Do this a couple of times at random through the piece, it might take a little practice. Can the listeners tell the difference? If not, that's good enough for me.

Well, theory suggests that the best sound reproduction would involve radiating from at least 2 walls surrounding the listener. It wasn't a macho thing for me with the Cornwalls, they just sounded so good. But speaker size could be a sort of conspicuous consumption. The Grateful Dead used to tour with a PA system that included "the JBL-Alembic Wall Of Sound" set of speakers which took about nine 18-wheelers to tote it around. Cut the profit margin on their tours considerably.... the funny thing is that this always struck me as an example of capitalistic excess, not what the band was known for ;) DSK |

A few years ago, I was involved in a charity concert with some name musicians and one that was requested was Jimmy Buffet. All of the artists we contacted were great except for him. Without getting into details, I'll never buy another JB cd or book again. Later, Tom |

They are driven by...oh, wait I've mentioned this before. Do you have the original Bozack branded tri-amplified electronics? I did, but the electronics are my own design. That's something you don't see very often any more. In a former life, I sold a ton of Bozak speakers. Being in Fairfield County, CT, we had a VERY close relationship with Bozack that included sharing of some employees! I think for most people, the Symphonys were about the limit. You really needed a huge room with a high ceiling to properly enjoy the Concert Grands. Nothing like 'em for organ music... I really liked the Symphonys, but at the time...well, excess wasn't a problem for me. :) We may have run into each other at some point - I bought them from the factory (did you know Tom Kettle - I think that was his name). I have a huge room that was divided into a large recreation room and my office off it. That is my section of the house - it belongs to solely to me - mine, mine, mine. It is my sanctuary. Of course, if I crank it...well, let's just say that the neighbors can dance all night long if they want. Later, Tom |

Later, Tom If you ever get a chance, audition a setup that includes speakers by Aerial Acoustics, a little know high end speaker manufacturer up in Wilmington. (not to be confused with "Ariel" speakers). They require a good amp - your Macs would do just fine. http://www.aerialacoustics.com/Aerial/ They offer quite a range - both in performance and price. I installed a setup last winter in Florida, originally intended to be the sound system for a kick-ass home theater room, but now I usually go in just to listen to music. Eisboch |
