And what does she think about this?

you have to savor that anticipation...

Agreed, but I've got a few things to consider. 1. To drop the final impedance down to 4 ohms, I need two drivers per channel. 2. Because of imaging problems, having two drivers on one baffle isn't feasible, or very easily done full-range. To wire them as a "1.5" way with one taking over lower frequencies requires a crossover, something I'm loathe to do. 3. From my reading, bipole/dipole speakers, while harder to place because of their needed seperation from the wall, will provide a wider and more diffuse soundstage, removing some of the problems with "midrange shout" that full range drivers often encounter.

Well, hello dar.

That's sad. Rainbows are one of my favorite freshwater fish - good looking, better eating Trout tastes so good grilled with the skin still on the back, with breadcrumbs, lemon and dill...

Trail Smelter v. US in the late '40s was a landmark case in international environmental law - don't know if that's the plant you're talking about, but when you gave me your address, I recognized it.

You don't need much for freshwater...unless you're going after pike or something

In fact, I might go fishing Sunday. Just have to avoid the game wardens, hehe...

We don't have chipotle here, but we do have Cookout...real grilled burgers, grilled chicken, fries, floats, hushpuppies...24/7. I think I might make a run tonight.

Supa_c = teh worthless. Steve - that almost makes me want to break out my Penn loaded with 7lb test on a Shakespeare light-action Ugly Stik and do some freshwater fishing. I don't have a valid license anymore, but w/e I have a 12 foot one I use for surfcasting (bluefish, king mackerel, stripers mostly) but it's been ages since I've been to the beach. IMO, spinning reels (like that one) > baitcasting. At least for sheer casting distance.

Anybody have any personal experiences with bipole speakers? I've read enough technical background and experiences from others to know what to expect, but I was just curious if anyone here has built/used one...

Drugs are bad, mmmkay.

What's all that worth, five USD?

Spinning or baitcasting?

Nah, I think 2awg would work better

I think I changed my mind...I could use 1/0 or 2awg more, although 4awg would probably work.

and I need to sell my 12AU7 preamp. Anybody need a really cool preamp? It would even work with a solid state setup...anything that needs an excellent-sounding source selector and dual channel level controls...I even bought NOS military-surplus tubes for it. I like these new smilies!

Pics of the wires? Might be interested...

Steve - your MO is on the way. Let me know when you receive it.

Or send me an IM now, if you're on

1.) Somebody bought my Decware amp, so I can start work on my latest project. Dual 2A3 triodes, tube rectification, around 3 and a half watts per channel. Should be a good improvement over what I have now. 2.) Tirefryr - send me an IM, I'll be on in an hour or so. 3.) Mrray - I'll be on AIM. 4.) I'm finally getting money back that I'm owed. Life is good sometimes. Anybody want to buy my preamp?

W/O pics of where you found them in their "natural state", this thread is I still prefer the original trilogy to the new ones...but have fun.

I'll brb.

Canada Steve - I gots yo money, fool. The money order goes out tomorrow morning. Dave_Edwards - saw the "12VGURU" today in downtown B'burg by the record store. Looked around for ya, but you were hiding, apparently...the Magnum is sweet in person! Left you a little surprise on the door handle :wink: Tirefryr - also, hit me up on AIM.
