I think their size (volume) needs to be measured in units of washing machines for the American public. You know... roughly.

I like simple.

And the firearm of the fellow on the left. AI, the early years. :)

from Hifihaven :)

Dude. Ultra Feet for McIntosh components. They'll sell like hotcakes. (from a third party, thankfully)

I should have written "I wish Honda still sold the Fit in the US", then. It is a very sensible vehicle.

we may have done all that needs to be done for Olivetti in this thread already... but just saw this ad on the feed of a STEM-ish fellow I follow at Flickr, and thought of this thread. So, here 'tis. :) Vintage Advertisement 680 - Olivetti - 1955 by Johnny El-Rady, on Flickr

wandered aimlessly into the kitchen this afternoon and beheld this tableau out in our back field. They were gettin' kind of frisky, too... Speaking of which (sort of) -- just like Sally Field in The Flying Nun, (and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Caribou), the smaller specimens of the breed do seem...

I stand in the presence of greatness. :D

wait -- are y'all talkin' about silver or tin? Now I'm confused. This thread is so mercurial.

The best part of a century -- for the good ones. They weren't using electrolytics in crossovers in those days, either. ;) Although AlNiCo magnets are sensitive to mechanical shock and just plain old use and benefit from occasional recharging. Electrodynamic (electromagnetic) drivers can be...

Actually, the Heresy (H700) was a relatively late Klipsch "Heritage" product: 1959, give or take. :)

Something about speakers and volume pricing strikes me as awfully funny in a dad-humor-pun kind of way... :p;):cool::facepalm:

Come to think of it, this is pretty much the way that SpaceX approached building a heavy lifting rocket, isn't it? ;):cool::facepalm: SpaceX... hmm... who's their CEO? ;)

Yeah, it seems like a bad idea. Kind of like, I don't know, taking 65536 Mabuchi motors* and running a Tesla S with them. ... or... 9,648 AA batteries, as in the case of the fabled Mercedes AA Class eSedan. __________ * Yes, 2^16 of 'em. ;):cool:

I have what may be an overly naive question about this tweeter array business. Arraying* a whole bunch of identical drivers doesn't change the Fs of any one of those drivers -- or does it? If it doesn't, how is it safe to drive an array such that any one of the drivers is asked to respond to...

Another tidbit from our recent outing (or, as I like to call them: Mid-Atlantic Coastal Slogs) from NH to VA and back. Being older Americans, Mrs. H and I require relatively frequent (ca. 1-1/2 to 2 hour interval) stops when traveling by auto for several old-person-appropriate reasons. Being...

We were just down in NoVA (Alexandria, VA, specifically) for a few days visiting our son & daughter-in-law. Beautiful down there already. Got home & our lawn's starting to turn green. There was still some snow in the shadow-y areas of our property when we left. We went up to Pittsburgh, NH...

He/she/they can probably do Neutrix. :cool:

Nope, neither -- although fullrange is usually, at least practically speaking, oxymoronic. Indeed, I'd opine that an 8 inch driver is just about the optimum (Platonic ideal?) form factor for a good extended-range driver. It's just that my tastes in same run towards the vintage and somewhat...
