  1. A giant congrat! I had to sort through and find my biggest one.
  2. Keep us posted Crappy.
  3. Just before his Dad burned him with gasoline, but a while before he started teaching middle school.
  4. To me the ear is the final word, and almost every good active I've heard has impressed me in some way. The Genelec 8040APM has been a favorite two way for some time. If the Airmotiv6 can come close at about half the cost, then I'd be sold. Al's ATC monsters took the concept beyond my imagination, as I've mostly heard two way 6 1/2" active monitors. I also love that you eliminate the speaker cables with active speakers, as I think running longer interconnects vs. longer speaker cables is more favorable. That may just be in my head, but it sure costs less in general.
  5. Well I'd love to see a serious effort from Thiel. And if Magnepan could develop a great ribbon headphone...
  6. As headphone sales exceed speaker sales by a fair margin these days, I look for more speaker companies to set their logs in this fire.
  7. Well I'm going to go against the grain here and say yes to going back to the Dean. Let the Dean decide what is right, since the rules do seem a bit murky at best.
  8. Dan, IMO something magical happens when a company tailors an amp to specific drivers, and does it right. I've been a fan of active speakers for some time. My old Paradigm Reference Active 20s performed at a much higher level than the passive Studio 20 IMO, and that's with respectable amplification (McIntosh I believe). Al's ACT actives are some of the best speakers I've yet heard. The Airmotiv6 is on my short list.
  9. And see I found it slightly offensive. I think Soviet whores is a better term.
  10. OK, I also forgot how cheesy that video is. Almost makes Rick Astley seem butch.
  11. That one took a second, but made me chuckle.
  12. Well you do live in Austin, so that won't even garner a second look.
  13. Thanks Nate, I'll let you know once Marc has settled on what woods he's going to be using. Marc, either threaded rod or a bolt. The bolt head could be recessed into the piece, and that would keep the rod from turning.
  14. Happy Birthday Dan! Have some good beer, and watch some Hockey!
  15. I don't have the right chuck to hold something like that. We may need to sweet talk one of the guys around here with a Nova chuck, or Kevin.
  16. Yay Nate!
  17. Happy Birthday!
  18. And don't forget to check in on Head-Fi to see if you have the veiled version, the bright version, the bass heavy version or the version that only dogs can hear.
  19. I've decided to wait for the LCD-19 R3. Should be another year or so.
  20. So many Birthdays in February. Have a fantastic day! And isn't it a little creepy to realize that our parents were screwing just 4 days apart.
  21. Well isn't obvious? Sophie is sweet and beautiful, so it can't be her. Alden is...well Alden is cute and has a killer sense of humor. So it has to be... well? Can you have another kid?
  22. I've been to Las Vegas. It's in exotic Nevada.
  23. Just get the Monitor Audios that you like and quit sweating it. And yeah, a Thalidomide chair might be a good thing.
  24. That's right! He's not the only guy Fitz and I have seen push his way in with a big Dhik.
  25. Hey Shelly, it looks like your amp is at least 7.1? Turn one horizontally, throw in a sub and you're done... http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_3484wt_1139 I used to like MB Quart, haven't heard this model though. He's also selling them in 5. If you still want large towers up front, check out Swan's Diva series. They have centers and surrounds as well...
