I am trying to find the brand and model number of an unusual looking speaker system I recall seeing in early/mid-1970s. The speaker looked like the B&O RL-140 from the mid-1980s, namely it was a shaped like a panel about 80-100cm wide and 80-100cm tall and maybe 20cm deep. It was mounted in a similar way to the B&O RL-140, although sitting much higher from the floor, and I think its curvature was concave (or flat), rather than convex as in the B&O (google for B&O RL-140 to see more pictures). The speaker was NOT electrostatic. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
AJ
Reader Carl Lundberg, noticing Wes Phillips' preference for cats, wants to know if all audiophiles exhibit this tendency. Are you a cat, dog, or other kind of pet person?
Apropos of nothing, I am prompted to share my pleasant experience listening to White Album last night, which I have not attended in its entirety for many years. It came about because one of the guys in my musical clutch ("group" is too strong a word), had a hankering to play Happiness is a Warm gun, which we've been having a blast with. Lots of interesting quirks that I hadn't fully grasped as a listener. It is such a different experience being on the other side of the stage!
Hello all, first time post for me. I need help finding an amp for my system.
Current system
NAD 542 CD
B&W 683
Yamaha R v901 a/v receiver(looking to update to the new 663.
Cadence 12" powered sub
Monster z series bi wire cables
Monster 800 series interconnects
The 683's was my latest purchase, decided to go with something upscale from my old acoustimas system.
Well, after months of grumbling and searching, I finally started my next round of upgrades. Got a great deal on a 15-year-old Rotel power amp that looks absolutely perfect and sounds absolutely fantastic. (I swear the extra wattage is giving me an extra octave of bass, even if it's only 30 watts more than what I had before) This now means that I'm using the preamp of an integrated into a power amp, and so a preamp will be my next move, as I can hear the limitations of the (1975, solid state, albeit discrete) preamp into the (1994) amplifier.
I must bring everyone's attention to a wondrous happening in the "Acoustic effects and size matters thread"; it has been joined by Audio Gods with mind-boggling super-powers. I'm speculating that May Belt, the high priestess of audio quackery, invited them along. Jan has been beseeching his own audio god, JA, to grace the thread with his omnipotence but appears to be coping with his disappointment and is getting along well with the uber-beings that have manifested themselves.
