Just bothers me I guess when people don't put time into product reviews. Like someone wisely said in that thread, a review could be a potential customers first (and maybe last) exposure to the product. You want to make sure it's damn accurate.

The guys over on DIYaudio and Audio Asylum have the art of writing reviews down. You'll never find a "OMG it hitz twice as harrd, d00d" review in there. If they're writing a review about an amplifier, for example, they'd treat the amp as if it were a woman, - sitting down in a quiet place, perhaps a glass of fine wine or the lights dimmed...patiently listening, extracting every ounce of sonic pleasure that has to be gleaned from it. Writing a review is something that takes time, time getting to know the product...it's quirks, it's preferences...When it comes time to record their thoughts, you can tell that time has been put into it, and whether they loved or hated what they heard, there's a respect for the process.

Now that I'm getting long-winded, it's time to go to bed.

Tom: good article...even though I flagrantly disagree with that guy's opinions on high excursion drivers

didnt he just get it yesterday too?

IMO, it takes a while to get the feel of a product

[Acidburn 10]

Jim: do you agree with him that anything below a 4th order is kind of pointless? (if you have to use an x-over that is )

[2kchevy 3]

what are you guys talking about I thought it was a great review

he had so much information to back up his reasoning

[Supa_c 1]

Oh yea, like 1 hr play.

[Acidburn 10]

Oh yea, like 1 hr play.

but his friends said it was so loud it hurt!!!

[Supa_c 1]

Ahh...of couse.

[jntar 15]

Hello all

[04BlueSRT 0]

Good Morning Kent.

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Possibly the worst review I've ever read. It's not even a review for christ sakes. Can't review anything after 10 minutes of play time. Can't review anything in one environment.

You know you're a moron when you say the drivers 'hit hard' and 'beat hard'.

Just loaded up some more pics on the for jntar topic for those of you who like visual stimulation

I agree 100%

I really wish I had a better respoce then my last one, but I didnt feel like saying something that would loose what little creditability I have there.

[Supa_c 1]

I blew mine a long time ago, but i dont care.

Im just a lounge monkey.

SSA is my new home

Ididiot kid ............kinda like supa

j/k

He gave a review in his own way. Let him state his own opinion. We all know exactly what each driver is capable of and their pros and cons. If a true hobbyist is really happy with their driver, they are not going to over-hype it or push it on others. They'll simply state their opinion and be done with it.

Clearly the kid needs some guidance, yet he is stubborn. We've all been there. Eventually he will learn. If not, his problem.

I say, good. He's finally content and we won't have to deal with the problem.

Hell no.

Yes, there are some times when begrudgingly, you have to use an Xover (the Klipsch towers being one of them...). However, there's nothing wrong, if the design allows for it, with simply highpassing the tweet with a cap and letting the woofer run full range, if the specs are up to it. That's pretty standard practice for open baffle speakers, and hooking supertweeters to backloaded horns for better high-end response. The point of using a 1st-order Xover is to keep losses due to components to an absolute minimum. I guess he's never worked with amps under 10 watts before

[JimJ 11]

and i replied...

And oh, how you did.
