Hi
I have written somewhere that I am looking for an (kind-of .. people What's the fun in ending the search???? mhhh???!!! ) end-game speaker/system. I am dreaming some about the Linkwitz LX 521.4 .. I haven't heard it (could be soon ) but ...
The speaker in kit form, is about $2500, yes people you read it right... complete with DSP, the drivers , the CNC-cut-wood pieces and connectors and screws and people on a forum to help out ... You need some, not much elbow grease ... A bit of patience too and the willingness to work with your hands.. Power tools not even required if you buy the <$2500 complete KIT!!!! From what I have read it is in the class of anything out there at any price ...
I have everything to make this happen (suitable amp, Cables ) , except the room .. My room is too small according to SL ... We are building a much larger man-cave but it will take a few months ... In the meantime I may just grab a LX Mini +2
Then I stumbled upon the latest (free, . courtesy of Amazon Prime Unlimited) issue of Stereophile and I had to shake my head in disbelief.. I started reading at a John Atkinson "editorial", a paean to the Spiral of ever Higher prices ... glanced at the prices of the gear reviewed in the magazine. Wow! .. So many of us have been taken for the ride, thoroughly enjoying it. Masochism? No!! Ignorance , and please perdon this expression, CULTIVATED Ignorance A systematic push toward blunting one's critical thinking abilities. No better definition for Brainwashing.
Tangentially it made me realize how even the most intelligent , astute, cultivated , educated among us can be brainwashed ... to the point of utter stupidity, in direct contrast to increased knowledge, education and critical thinking ...
