REL Quake

Merlin look at all the money you are loosing waisting your time speaking rubish here, instead of building and selling Strata clones... :ffrc: :ffrc: :ffrc: :NADowner:

 

Merlin, I understand your frustration, it would take a miracle to make an AV system work properly in a 7 feet wide room... :JPS:

 

Bub, 'Tis true. In Southern-Softie-Land there are alternatives to Briks piled high on Mana.

So as to piss off others by way of a change, I have to say that the Rel Strata I found rather slow and not very musical. It was bettered by the MJ Ref 1 at less money. If you want subs to work properly in 2 channel land I think you need to spend serious money or build your own, especially if your main speakers are any good.

 

Maybe I should get an ATC active sub. Then again, maybe not.

One-legged Briks bad.

 

At least if you got a couple of ATC active subs I wouldn't have to travel all the way to Glasgow to hear your system.

 

Here we go again, "slow subs and not very musical"... :ffrc: :ffrc: :ffrc: :NADowner:

 

I'd agree Alex,

I think the slowness of the Strata is almost certainly the result of it's disappointingly high distortion figures.

But to be fair, many people who probably set their goals somewhat lower than maybe you or I do, seem to be reasonably happy with them.

 

Merlin your desire to mischief-make is insatiable

 

Greg,
Merlin takes Advanced classes at Cambridge for those up and coming politcal animals and you have PM

 

Lowrider, at least your smilies all play at the same speed.

 

:rds2:

I thought I saw real blood. Maybe it is just my imagination. Is this the record for the longest threat yet?

 

Typical Wolfy! Always wanting to measure things

 

wolfgang,
subjectively this is the longest thread (boy is it ever). objectively i'm not sure so i'll say it is even though i've no real proof or data to back up my position.
cheers

Should the longest be the number of replies, or the longest running time, what about the actual substances, ... the most that have Naim or Mama mentioned..

the contain one that has the most useful information thread or the one that generate most heart attacks....there is so many parameters.

 

As anyone with a brain can see, (oh God, please let me see the light too :newbie: ), a 15" woofer at 200hz, or is it 500hz , is faster and more musical than a 10" at 60hz... :chunder:

 

no it's the longest. i've seen papers written by respected scientists researching threads say that THIS is the longest ever, in the history of the entire world ever. also i personally have done repeated db, st and ol testing that prove conclusively beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is the longest thread. of couse if exactly the same thread was over on the hfc forum it wouldn;t be as long or as good due to subtle differences that are far too complicated and subtle to be measured.

After signing all my replies carefully ....As the greatest grand scientist of all nothing is ever too subtle to be measured. Here is it again.

 

It is unlikely Antonio that anyone with a brain would have posted the above, but I guess you are the exception

Question,

Why is it that the majority of loudspeakers use 6 1/2 " cones to cover the lower octaves? Is it a) because they sound better or b) because they are more domestically acceptable to the average fashion victim?

Oh and BTW, it's not the size that gives the perception of slowness - it's the horrible levels of distortion Those Thumbelina 11's aren't fast just because there's a twee "conette" performing bass duties!

 

Not if that one is Merlin the magician, piece of cake to make a 15" woofer disapear...

Answer,

Because they sound better in the midrange and there are subwoofers available at reasonable cost to play the lowest octaves without looking like refrigerators... :MILD:
