thanks for that great statement. it would be an honor for any thread to contain it

yeah, ive put on the untouchables on that day just to give the pictures a little more class. i think its a totally nice movie, somehow feels like a fairytale to me. and the soundtrack is just GREAT.

cheers,

So you stuck it to make the thread fancy.

Ennio Morricone score and the sound effects with brilliant clear dialogue, I know I was just watching a few chapters from it. I’ve got The Peacemaker running now.

thanks for the comment david. i said to a friend last monday, trying to explain the appearance of my passion, that it is part of the joy for me to see, use and touch this great gear. to find it, understand it.
telling him about this, i showed him a 245o mounted to the throat of a 236o (without the bell), explainig that to me this is a piece of art. it has a certain gravity, mesmerizing.
well...maybe i should have become a mechanical engineer...

++++++

this weekend i oiled up the enclosures (folded baffles) of my subwoofers and i will hook them up again tomorrow i think. oiled MDF -another honest surface.

oiled greetings,
mikey

I am some what imnune to all this Hifi Pro stuff as I was the son of a Turntable Manufacture, my toys were made up of old Vitavox Westrex loudspeakers and prototype turntables and arms !!

My Hifi takes over my house and the kids love it !!!

Keep well

hey hey hey!!

last week i modified my big rack so i could push the speakers back to wall. lotsa work but quite rewarding, my laboratory has a lot more space now (pretty exactly a whole squaremeter ).
yesterday i put the big sexy 236o back into the system, and today i made a "happy new year!" picture for the forum! wanna see it? there:



happy new year my dear lansing-girls, -boys and -trolls!!
have a great 2o1o.


for me it this last year was extremely exhausting because i had some huge tasks at work and found myself burnt out pretty much at the end (though it paid out). this new one will be more relaxed and layed back! now with my system beeing more or less finished, i dont have to think about even that much more and can enjoy my music. i got a hard drive full with jazz waiting to be explored! yes!!

what you see in the picture:
-the beautiful and amazing 4435 (lr12@5o Hz to lr48@556Hz)
-the magic 236o (lr48@556 to [email protected])
-the cute as babybutt 24o4 ([email protected]) ruffed provisorly onto the bell of the big horn
-the tired but proud mikey the hornmeyster (~1o5°@186cm)
-the sad little rest of my banana farm (5 to 3ocm)
-the RiPol-subwoofers left+right stacked as mono (lr12@5oHz)

i would be happy about an suggestions concerning the crossovers (i can even try out stuff for simple testing if anyone needs, its very easy digital).

Happy New Year demon

Does Bruce also help out and I see Boba Fett has nice bounty of JBL collections as well. I’d keep an eye on Bruce he bites low.

Happy new year!

good spotting! i didnt know the shark (in jaws) was called bruce, but now i do. mine is called heidy by the way. bubblehead-boba was a present from japan (-thanks to ken!!).



i just frankensteined a panorama-shot. i think the 236o is a piece of art. did i already say that? i say it again: a piece of art. even when dusty, apparently.
i will try to get some 3d-feel-picture together next time, so you can see how they are "soaring" above the boxes. i cant take my eyes from them!
and the best: they sound SOOOOO amazingly good -whoohooo!!!


say ash, can you guess the filmstill on the screen? its extremly funny and from 2oo8 (US).
(bigger version of the pic if interested = http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/n...eenweb2222.jpg)

only a few things left to do, and all rather "secondary". like accuratly allining all the angles and distances of the boxes/horns (thinking about using optical tools), setup different settings for different occasions/trying out, reducing the noise of the amps and computer.

its all so cool.



cheers,
