Offramp3 also starts at $700, which is a rather steep premium for code that others will write before too long.

I'm in for Ice Jam.

They're very divisive speakers at a number of sites due to their comparatively poor measured performance, but it's pretty decent for a crossoverless design. IIRC, the main driver is run wide open and the supertweeter has a highpass cap crossover. I, for one, love them. Their sensitivity is appropriate for a SET amp, and their impedance may be, but I can't vouch for how stable they are. $1600 isn't an amazing price, and they come up on A'gon for less, but if your pair is local it's probably worth it not to have to deal with shipping them.

I thought about buying this just for the box. Look what this place has done to me.

I'll loan you my 0404, Marc. I won't sell it to you if you like it, but I'll loan it to you.

Steve... I'll tell you when you're older. Let's just say it was a hell of a meet.

I'm sorry mister Grawk. I was jus' a tryin' to make the funny...

Please, sirs, look at these posts and think to yourselves "in what way have i used my time on this earth to contribute positively to the human experience".

Ah, well, that settles it then.

ok

Lets do this thing.

Gen Z started in 1995, so that stripper would be 14. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with impressions, fellows.

Thx 4 tha reveiw WMcmaster. How do these compare to sandwiches?

They're not hard at all. They're a very stable 4 ohm load, and no one here is recommending any amps that can't handle 4 ohms well. I long considered a good Musical Fidelity A3CR myself with those speakers, and it would likely work very well.

As mentioned, AuraJam was sparsely attended. It was myself: Falkon: And Aura, who was kind enough to host this motley crew and buy me strange drink fixings: The reason for the meet was to exchange my monitors for Aura's moth gear (and some Colombian heroin), but that was certainly not the purpose of the meet. I brought my 2x pair of K1Ks and my vintage RS1, and Falkon and Aura each had a pair of HF-2: Falkon also brought his Trafomatic Head One and an Omega DeepHemp sub: And, of course, there were the speakers (gasp): Since we didn't get to the point where gear was actually set up and we had a good swerve on until about 11:30, this "listening" portion of the meet was short. We all compared the different pairs of k1000s: I had my own impressions before i came, but I let the gentlemen listen for themselves. Their impressions confirmed my own: the stock pair is considerably more linear, with much better midbass. They're unique, the best pair i've ever heard. Thanks, NoNoNoNoNoNo, and thanks Smeggy for letting them go in the first place. They're home now in Colorado. We also did a little comparison between the Trafomatic and the EC2A3, and my impressions echoed those of Aura and Falkon (who did their listening and discussion before I arrived). The EC2A3 has considerably crisper attack, and a different midbass presentation. The trafomatic came across as more textured to me, but I'd really have to do some cross-genre listening to figure out which presentation is closer to the recording. Great amps, in any case, and I'm glad for the chance to hear the Trafomatic. Having exhausted the comparisons, we poured some drinks and talked for a while before Falkon had to make the two-hour trek back to U of I for work the next day. Having just the pair of us left, we unhooked the Cicadas, hooked up the peachtree, and put Aura's new PSB M2 monitors in place: Aura seemed very pleased, as he should be. The PSBs suited his tastes better than the Cicadas, especially in his room, and the cicadas far outperform the PSBs in my room here. All in all, one of my favorite ever meets. It inspires me all the more to attend next year's HC gathering -- this is clearly rich soil.

That's my preferred angle. One pair sounds a little thin, but the other sounds ideal with that angle. Seems easier to just sell the thin pair, as I rather like the soundstage. It reminds me of how the wii occasionally informs you that, hey, maybe you shouldn't play Zelda *all* day. Maybe take a walk, huh? In any case, I continued to drive the remaining 20 minutes home, and it seemed okay with that decision. May I never see that light again.

^^ I sense a strongly implied correlation.

Tree trunk? Brita filter replacement? Harry Potter fan fiction? These are the questions of our day.

I have pictures, but my GPS just informed me for safety reasons that I had driven 26 hours in two days, and I need to stop. Expect pics tomorrow

Pics or ban.

Are you sure that's what you really want to say?

You'll only get opinions to this, not answers. My answer is "no", but i like a good transformer just fine.

Lucky for you, I'm a Toys R' Us kid. Don't bump a two year old thread for inane bullshit, fuckwad.

When I think of white gloved hands gingerly holding mechanically-mangled objects, I think of Steve and his penis.
