Yup, pretty much what aerius said. My Spendors were the same way -- they sounded great at lower volumes, but they were easily pushed past a threshold where they initially started compressing, and pushed further they distorted. I do not find driver-based distortion pleasant in any way other than for the purposes of guitar tone. Give me a good optical compressor any day.
Yeah, maybe 'fail' is too strong a word, they don't break. They just 'fail' to deliver music musically.
eBay
J/K...not watching it actively, just a couple items that I've been watching lately have been relisted, so I've been getting emails that say, "an item you've been watching..." and made me think of this thread.
Yeah I heard that story. I have a question, though:
how on earth does someone in Japan have unused closet space?!?!? I live in the land of elbow room, and I don't have enough closet space...
I don't smoke.
I did, however, find my way downstairs and drank a cup...looking up, I noticed I was late...so I ate quickly, fed the kitteh and rushed off to work. Somebody spoke, so I spoke back.

I just bought those ugly shoes I posted elsewhere (one of the violently purple, and two of the "techy" black). Here's to hoping they fit, as they're out of my first choice of sizes. How is it you don't have these already? I thought you were a serious Daft Punk fanboy.
Oh, and * FOTM * FOTM * FOTM * FOTM...
Oh, but I think he does. He knows he has the freedom to express his opinion here, no matter how unpopular the opinion is.
Like badge, baby, like badge.
Yeah, it was just a suggestion. I, personally, do not have room for multiple tables, so that's what I'd do, but if you have the room (and finances, presumably) to do it right, by all means, do it right.
Just to be clear -- we don't usually mind a small amount of entropy, it's when it builds up to critical mass and it starts evolving into assmillinery that the mods start locking threads. Me, I have a background in physics, so I know that entropy only ever increases, so I just sit back and wait for the next big bang.
