Rather amusing PRaT thread on AA

... to which I've added my own tongue-in-cheek assessment: Speaker Asylum. It's under the heading meaning of 'PRAT'

 

Steve, I feel that level of subtlety is wasted somewhat on our American brothers

 

Probably right, sigh.

It's started me thinking though. I could write a "Bluffer's Guide to Audiophilia" and take the piss out of everyone. That would make me popular.

Let's see, we could have:

PRaTs and Naimees - as per my AA post - music: King Crimson? (sorry Tom)

Big Horn, Little Ampers - The bigger the ratio between speaker size and amp power, the more respect - music: Brass Bands.

Panel Lovers - music: Female Vocalists

Anything over £200 is a rip-off ers - music: Garage

Belters and crazies

Cable Tossers

Support Artists

Digital Dorks (cough, cough)

Vintage Anoraks

Meat and Two Wayers

I've got more Drivers than Youbies - Music: Heavy Metal

Full-rangers - never get high, never get low

Imagers

Well ok, it needs work. But I could do a free downloadable e-book. Of course I'd have to think of a speaker company to plug but I could probably scratch my head and come up with something.

 

Steve, what about the sub sat sub set

 

Steve you missed

'Anal TTer's' and there set it ritual

'Bottles or Bollox' Valve Expressionists

'List em' merchants' Catalogue fetishists

'Blag Artists' My mate will do it for a fiver

'Smug Kit Squad' DCS & Clearaudio owners

The 'Rico' Arragance is us

Note body rejection Stand abusers

 

How about the never satisfied crowd?

 

Is that the semi det sub sat sub set?
I knew there some kinks in my scheme. :duck:

 

Actually Steve, being in Surrey you know of their plight

They are the Suburban Semi Sub Sat Sub Set

 

And with good reason, though I'm not sure about DcS, wot with its' abundance of digits

 

You're way behind me, man. "kinks" ..... ?

 

Weren't they an over rated sixties pop band Steve

And the people suffering from the SSSSSS condition generally suffer from B.O

 

Now I'm getting confused. Are they the "Solid State Suburban Semi Sub Sat Sub Set", Mr Jones?
