Obviously pretty well then

Need a better description of the knobs you are describing. If they are "boost" you shouldn't use them. Normally starting with them all flat is the best approach, but the process is iterative so don't expect to do it just once. As with setting ANY gain. First step is to find your limits for which you must listen to each driver independently. Frequency masking will really hide things from you otherwise. Goal is to find distortion that is audible to you and then not run it that hot. Each and every song will require an adjustment if you are running balls out. You have that capability to adjust right at your volume control. The bummer in the process is that you have to train your ear; the downside to this training is that it will make you want to keep improving what you have.

How'd the lens work?

I don't believe Blues Audio drivers belong in an automobile.Misconceptions keep flying. Inherently a pro audio driver is still just a driver. When used in an application that highlights its capabilities the results can be great. Two difficulties with the implementations you see in car audio. -With efficiency comes a narrow bandwidth -it's only morons who generically use them. Completely forget to think about the application and instead just buy a driver and use it WAY out of its strength. ie, they forget the first difficulty

Aaron - I just perused the store and couldn't find shirts. Mark's Polo shirt thread made me look for a tee. That being said, an upsell idea for you. Perhaps in the checkout you could add a "would you like to add an SSA T-shirt, bumper sticker, coffee cup or whatever the fuck" before the pay button. Bet you'd get a fair amount of ancillary sales that are all advertisements as well.

I see way more problems in my pictures than good things, but they improved even throughout the trip I think.

I'd upload an album if there was an easy place to share one

Visit to Amsterdam is a stretch, just had lunch and a 3-5mi walk downtown during a layover.

12 days: Visited - Goteborg, Oslo, Myrdal/Flam/Gudvangen/Voss, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Amsterdam

Probably my favorite street as a tourist in a Scandinavian city, but I did not go to all that many.

I searched Playing in front of Nyhavn 1F, 1051 Kobenhavn, Denmark, on 6/7/2013 or 7/6 to you Euro's

Street music

Or closer yet, needs a bass though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoiDx1m4p2k *skip to 2min or so Band I saw was better though. Wish I knew who they were.

Not at all like this as he had an upright bass and drums as well. Freed up the guitarist to comp a lot more chords. Regrettably nothing on youtube compares.

Not filling enough.

There was a sweet jazz band playing in Copenhagen on the Nyhavn canal when I was there. Instead of classic jazz tunes they were playing Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, but with complete jazz comped chords. Absolutely awesome. Had me humming Billy Jean for a couple days.

Make sure you clean the smudges off when you return it. By smudges do you mean cum stains?

Was on a mobile device earlier. Can respond to this a bit better now. Let us see what is closed minded here. The guy who defends something that some marketing propaganda promotes or in this case me. Some history for you. In 1993, I took a 2 week independent study in college. Working as a sound engineer at the time I wanted a tuner that not only investigated tune but distortion and profiling of instruments and microphones. Steps in programming were. Write a tuner to determine both amplitude and frequency. Calculate the distortion. Unlike the POS that Steve sells, my code actually would measure all harmonics (limited by bandwidth of the acquisition card nyquist of course). It could do this on any arbitrary input as well, not some fixed frequency. Program was freely distributed on the web for years. I tried to discuss the algorithm with Steve, he grabbed his "design engineer" and neither could answer rudimentary questions. That is why he ran from here. Knew that they had overlooked a ton and didn't want it to be exposed where edits weren't in his power. In my lab, I have a suite of Bruel & Kjaer acoustic analyzing equipment that exceeds $100k in value. Also have a $60k Nicollet oscilloscope which measures harmonics out beyond 1GHz. Add to that a 3D scanning laser vibrometer that makes the Klippel look like a home brewed piece of shit. I could use ANY of it for setting gains. What do I use? My ear. Sounds pretty closed minded doesn't it?

And if you use your ear why is this a problem? Never said using an ear was a static situation. Exactly the reason why you MUST use it. Gain knob on an amplifier is to adjust for the input level from the source.

Ex PG guys IIRC. Huge boneriffic following on wakeboard boat sites like the Malibucrew. Unbelievable moronic reasoning too. Absolutely laughable. Like other boat manufacturers they make HLCD's that are capable of some output. Even more overpriced than there other stuff though. And yep, nothing special.

Sexy, love it. Time to start stepping down the cross point on the FR's

I have to run to Starkey again in the morning. Be there from 8-10:30 or so probably. Eden Prairie. Otherwise I will be home.

He's always sort of made a "profit" by misleading noobs. That's how he built his name and got popular, by misleading noobs. Once he was popular he commercialize it to cash in (like any fart smeller would).Touche. I just didn't pay any attention before the commercialization

I prefer to keep raw data as well. Already processed means I may be fucked if I wasn't uber diligent on the processing up front. For instance. Time domain data instead of only frequency.
