What if one were to leave the drivers in the enclosure...but then put a transmission line on the back end?

You make them both sound so appealing. \

Billy -- -10 reading comprehension points for you -- did you not see the part where she said she hates club/dance music? I would extrapolate that to trance and whatnot. Title? This? That definitely looks interesting. Yeah, like I said, I'll put some thought into it, but since our tastes aren't exactly parallel (not exactly orthogonal, neither), I have no idea if my suggestions would work. Albums: Friday Night in San Francisco -- Paco De Lucia / Al DiMeola / John Mclaughlin? (That's another one I need to add to my ridiculous list.) Golden Earring, Moontan (the American version)? Blue Man Group, Audio? Songs: Mike Oldfield, "Ommadawn Pt. 1" Deep Purple, "April" (full version with 3 parts, second being orchestral -- I have no idea how it's broken up in iTunes or whatever) -- they have a couple other longer songs in their earlier stuff -- Shades of..., Book of Taliesyn, and Deep Purple Queen, "Prophet Song" Manfred Mann's Earth Band, "Time is Right" (actually that whole sequence from Nightingales & Bombers, "Spirits in the Night"/"Countdown"/"Time is Right" is really cool) -- see also "Road to Babylon", "Drowning on Dry Land/Fish Soup", "Chicago Institute", "Don't Kill it Carol", "Stranded"... I have a live version of The Fixx playing like a 15 minute version of "The Fool". Ministry, "So What" Side one of the Vienna album by Ultravox, the alternate sequencing: "Sleepwalk"/"Passing Strangers"/"New Europeans"/"Private Lives"/"Astradyne" is nicely energetic if you're into that New Romantic thing, which IIRC you aren't (feel free to say so). Here's a Pandora station based on those songs in your list that I could find. Not suggesting you try to hook up a computer at your trainers', but you could listen to it and see if it gives you ideas. It seems to be on a flamenco kick for me right now.

So basically, you don't want "typical" workout songs and mention no criteria for success other than your familiarity...sounds like you just wanted us to picture you sweating. Okay, I'll think about this and post something constructive later. Rodrigo Y Gabriela rule. I'll have to add that to my favourite albums list -- I would suggest that whole album. I really like their take on "Orion", but that's my familiarity, not yours.

That's pretty fucked up. Unless they are indeed putting it through MOSFETSses as well as tubes, but then that's hardly "pure" tube sound.

OP: you were warned.

I like how the tubes look like they're in those tubes like from Event Horizon or whatnot. Click pic for info link.

Hey, how'd you do that?!?!?

Response to OP: that's a good way to get yourself banned. Or a really lame custom title, like "demanded this". Or no custom title at all, ever.

One of Hirsch's turntable rigs -> Alesis Masterlink @ 24/96 -- I thought they were good.

(a) The Suprema's are supposed to be nice; ( I think they're still worth a listen. I don't know too many high-efficiency loudspeakers that like being pushed -- that's not their forte. They like to be driven well at reasonable volumes. I've never heard someone describing any high-efficiency speaker as, for example, "rock and roll". Except maybe JBL's.

Stupidest name for a speaker company ever

Rain.

We were on storm watch all day today, and nuthin' happened.

You should donate them to some poor college kid. Ask for a school ID.

...yet...

Yeah, other than those two differences, it's just like a gold star.

It crosses the state/church line. If it said "yay satanists" or "yay wood pagans", I would have just as much of a problem, but somehow I doubt the government would consider such nonsense. The bill goes so far as to establish Christianity's "superiority", despite my feelings to the contrary. Government should keep their nose out of business in which their nose does not belong. You know, what if it said, "yay for publicly-schooled individuals"? Or "yay for people who touch themselves at night"? Or "yay for homosexuals"? Or "yay for people who eat omnivorously but secretly think the vegans are right"? "Yay for luddites"? "Yay for civil war battle recreationists"? You know, it's like posts from moderators stating imperatives (like "GTFO" or "STFU" or whatnot) are somehow perceived differently than posts from non-moderating members stating imperatives. Having the government involved is the problem -- I have no problem with individuals or even organized institutions such as churches saying "yay christians" (after all, someone has to -- I certainly won't). It is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Dude, it's a gold star.

No, it goes further than that: -- that's what I meant by freedom from religious persecution.

Cancel your cable. That's really the only way to get them to do anything. And I'm serious -- it's liberating.

You touch yourself at night.

Oh. You mean, he was agreeing with me? Yeah, I missed that, thanks for the clarification.
