Fitz Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 That's what I call audiophile music -- that's why they play that kind of music -- that sparse, jazz trio shit -- at all the audiophile conventions. It makes any system sound good. Yeah, it takes some pretty serious fail for it not to sound good. Quote
parhelictriangle Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 It's like those older Bose Wave radio ads with Wynton Marsalis playing some watered-down MORjazz to show off how great the Wave Radio is through the mono speaker on your 1973 Magnavox. Quote
crappyjones123 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 I'm just wondering how they made my cheap laptop speakers sound all audiophile with that soundtrack im starting to believe the whole garbage in garbage out idea. on the run of the mill shitty mp3 encodes, the laptop speakers sound exactly like one would assume - shitty. however, on the tracks i got from hdtracks and some other hi rez stuff and well recorded albums (sara k, patricia barber, dave koz) they actually dont sound half bad. better than ibuds at least. i cant stand them with good quality music (higher bitrate etc etc) Quote
Hopstretch Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Posted July 29, 2009 Ye olde RAAL Requisite Eternity. Five 15" woofers, 18 2.5" midranges and 15 5" ribbon tweeters. Cast bronze enclosure. Not to be mistaken for a Smoker's Outpost. Quote
Grahame Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 I thought that looked familiar, they had a pair at Burning Amp Festival 2008 (more info at: The Burning Amp - Diy Festival) Quote
Guest sachu Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 That is a fine sounding speaker. Open baffle too...Crazy Serbs. Quote
Sherwood Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 I'll tell you what, kids, that RAAL did nothing for me. Quote

Sherwood Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 ^^^ Looks like an old Akai drum machine in the middle picture. I'm going to guess that's Pharrel's rumpus room. Quote

manaox2 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 I posted the links to that in the slow forum I think. A whole house with many speaker rooms on a Japanese site. Pure audio porn. Quote

pedalhead Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Do ugly-but-awesome-sounding subs count? Quote
n_maher Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 The structural engineer in me cringes at how those are mounted. I'd never let anyone walk under those if it was my house. Yikes. Quote

Ha, trust me they're not going anywhere, these things have got loads more fixings than they need to stay put. I have happy memories of swinging repeatedly from them before mounting the drivers. Quote

Trust me, just because something supports a load temporarily does not mean that it is permanently capable of doing the same thing. Quote

Ah well, the barn's been there for 200 years & the subs have been there through a year of heavy use, I'll take my chances . Having said that, I'm kinda tempted to move my bikes... Quote
