Or post here, the response is surprisingly fast. Faster than companies that let voicemail answer and call back...

Going to need a VST program as well, but those are about the same price How's that for saving you money? And yes, mine are connected to a pc with the passives....but I also use a Slingbox and pipe music up to the receiver from my home automation so they aren't just connected to this pc.

As for Xover options: Foobar2000 DSP Crossover, Crossvolver, rs-met, Easy XO, LS Filter, Rubber Filter Should all do, there are more but those are free

Wait a second is right. ROFL, didn't notice that myself. Can't use a kit for the TB's.

Well it's either a minidsp, or I find something else. on Madisound they have a sweet kit with some fostex, folded horn enclosures, but I'd have to make some stands, and move my desk for space. I'll probably wait a little longer and get the dsp for either route. I should have mine wired up by the end of the week. Going to figure out what I need today and order it so it'll be here by Wednesday. Will just be used in 2.1 mode atm....until I get off my arse and build some tower speakers. I don't remember if they have any dealers, but I thought I read somewhere about shipping taking a few weeks. Mine took less than 8 days.

I'll probably wait a little longer and get the dsp for either route. i slapped together zaph's hivi b3n (or is it b3s) design for my computer speaker. but i dont need very much output at all. I prefer headphones for gaming, etc. if they are computer speakers, is there not a way to do the process actively on the pc, rather then purchase a minidsp? There's only one stereo output from my computer, unless I bought a different sound card. Sound card is cheaper than minidsp

No idea, but when I had DSL I never had a problem with solid. Doesn't mean it's right tho

Most definitely a way and it's a better option if you are truly just using them for pc speakers. Cheaper, more flexibility and fucking cool. I just didn't want a "boat pc" for hopefully obvious reasons.

<-never bought a seedless one...and until 3 hours ago would never even have thought about it.

I'd agree....except this one was seedless. I expected the opposite and this was a first. *I didn't buy it, my mom did.

I spent way more on crossovers than the drivers. It isn't friendly, but once implemented sweet.

It isn't the bottom end that is the problem so much. That cone is LIVELY

Had a watermelon today. My whole life my dad has hated watermelon. Tonight he ate a ton of it. Said it was awesome. Never did he not like watermelon, just doesn't like shitty watermelon. I feel the same way about ALL food.

I LOVE those drivers, but they need some serious crossovers to work well. Sound like shit with no processing.

<-- huge in Japan

Huge and tripping balls!

In general, fat + acid = Saweet.

Ah, stocker fan is auto adjusting. Either closed or the fan is on.

Beware of recipes for the Carolina sauce. All shit. Just take some vinegar, add enough sugar (brown might be preferred for smoke), and then disolve the hottest powdered pepper you can find. Fresh Cayenne from a co-op or ground thai chile's will probably be the only choices where you live but will do. Add them, shake, and taste. Going to have to shake the shit out of it before putting on anything as the peppers won't dissolve even with heat. I use a squeezebottle that is akin to a refillable ketchup bottle but clear plastic. bought at a restaurant supply store. Super useful for a ton of things, but one stays in the fridge for that purpose pretty much religiously. Oh, it's fucking awesome on pulled pork. Especially on the fatty parts.

I need to find a good Japanese cook book to read. Had some near fast food that consisted of a hot plate that you cooked your own steak on and the steak was smothered in what I am guessing was green onions and miso of some sort. Only guessing though as it was pureed. Fucking super yummy though. I can experiment but am afraid my diluted memory and random guess (not ultra familiar with miso and don't hardly use it outside of mixed with daishi as a soup) I am not so sure I'll succeed. if I don't find what I need somewhere I will be experimenting.

And if kick is your only problem, before eating next time whip up some Carolina BBQ sauce. Key ingredients are vinegar and something hot. Normally slightly sweetened with a sugar as well. Of course anything else you hanker for can go in. I have some red chile from India that a colleague brings me once a year that is super hot and yummy. Mix a little of that in some apple cider vinegar and BAM sauce that'll kick the notch up on any smoked meat. If the tang is too much just sweeten it a tad. There is always some in our fridge. Sort of like those shitty fake mexican sauces you can buy but with less flavor and more heat.

And that is actually the biggest problem with the kamado style smokers. Not enough smoke is easier than too much. Since they hardly use any fuel, it's hard to create a lot of smoke. Chunk placement in the initial stages of cooking are the key. That and accepting that smoke isn't the most important part, but the natural lump is what makes you golden. The smoke is the coup de grace.

I sold you a BGE I didn't get commission on so I might as well try to help you use it

What was the problem with them to your palate? Not enough kick to them, the texture and tenderness was awesome, but they were lacking the BBQ flavor/kick that I wanted. I didn't have as much smoke in them as I normally would have and I ran a lot more mild rub than I have before. I went with a local rub that was a bit more mild that I picked up at the local BBQ store. Oh and a big thanks to Sean and crew on ribs advice. I would recommend to stop buying rubs and make your own. Only way you can dial things in. Rather easy as a starting point and you can dial up whatever portion you like. I do mine sort of from scratch everytime so it's never the same but I measured myself once so my wife could write it down for me. Sort of how my recipes get transcribed. Remind me tomorrow and I'll dig it up. It's only 20' away atm, but I am comfy so no.
