LATEST ADDITIONS

I live in a house that has a pyramid-shaped roof, so I guess you could say that I have a thing for pyramids (footnote 1). That's probably why I was immediately drawn to the Green Mountain Audio Diamante. I'm also attracted to floorstanding speakers with small footprints, since my listening/video room is only 13' by 16'. My Holy Grail of loudspeakers is a small speaker that's flat between 20Hz and 20kHz, can do 110dB sound-pressure–levels without straining, and costs less than $1000/pair.

As you may have noticed, <I>Stereophile</I>'s approach to equipment testing is quite different from that of "mainstream" audio publications. Instead of throwing a bunch of measurements at you, and telling you how we think components ought to sound because of those measurements, we test them as you would: by listening. But we have an extra problem: we have to convey to someone else&mdash;you&mdash;a feeling for what we hear from that component. It ain't always easy.

Bagheera thinks, "Is that mice songs I hear?"

I've suspected this for years. I can hardly ever understand the ones from South America. I think it's the way they roll their "r"s. They talk fast, too.

From <I>The Onion</I>, of course.

Also, water is wet.
