I don't know -- I haven't been done wrong by him yet, but I am seriously concerned over that whole Wonder Woman thing.
Also, I'm not sure the Joss Whedon aspect is real. The story is on a site not exactly known for their journalism, y'know?
I don't think Sailor Moon had any tentacle sodomy...but I could be wrong...I've never seen it...
It just seems...anachronistic-squared, y'know? The whole thing just reeks of absurdity...
I'm thinking something like this (only, I'm not an artist, so this could be done better -- I just frankensteined two plagiarized pics together).
Also, it'd be nice if the straightjacket vaguely resembled a pretzel -- that way, we work the whole pretzel thing in.
And the straightjacket should be a lot less detailed -- the detail should match the amount of detail in the headphones.

I don't think you judge a speaker's frequency response on its apparent ability to reproduce frequency, I think you should judge it on its actual ability to reproduce frequency -- sorta like not judging a book by its cover. I'm just saying -- I didn't hear anything missing when I had mine. I will tell you it was in a small room, but -- I've also heard floorstanders with less bass. And they went pretty loud (pleasantly so). Those woofers are relatively huge (especially for a non-floorstander) -- about the size of a dinner plate, yes. They're not "bookshelves" per se, as they wouldn't fit on the average bookshelf (also, the port's on the back).
No, that's what I'm saying -- I have a nice sub that went down to 23 Hz or so, and I didn't feel I needed it -- I truly consider it a fullrange speaker, despite it not being a floorstander. I ran it without a sub. But then, I was listening in near field, so...take that into account...
Believe it or not, there are other hobbies more insane than this one. Microphones, for example -- there are people who collect microphones. This one, for example, is, offhand, the most expensive one I could find in a readily available catalog -- which means there are easily more expensive ones that aren't in the catalog:
What else you got?
I have the balanced Max in my list. It overshadows the E.A.R. HP4 by a margin.
And I really don't see this thread degenerating much more than that last post. So if you blame anyone, blame yourself.
Actually, I am a fan of lifelessness in audio equipment. That's the one I have. And I still like it. Have you heard any of their other Confidence series? Big difference is the tweeter -- the Confidence tweeters are the Esotar, whereas many of their other models have the Esotec tweeters.
