One for those interested in speaker design ...

G'day from a newbie in Australia! I recently came across a new website for a small Australian speaker company and thought the designer's forthright views deserved a wider audience. If you're wondering whether he can back them up, then the answer is a resounding 'yes'. He demo'd his base model to our audio society a few months back, using a system that we provided, with A/B comparison to B&W 805s and some small Sonus Fabers (I forget the model), both of which retail for around twice the price here.

Newbie on TIGHT budget - system comments plz

Hello all. I'm on a very tight budget and this is the system I've been able to put together. Amplification is a PS Audio PSElite integrated amp. ADCOM GCD-575. Rotel RT-850A tuner. Speakers are AudioPro Avantek Six. Speaker cable is Vecteur and interconnects are Radio Shack Gold series. I'll soon be adding a Carver (forgot the model) power amp and using the PS as my pre-amp. I use Grado 60's and 125's for quiet times. Second system (in my tiny apartment) is a Denon PMA-750 integrated, Sony CDP-CE535 5 DISC changer and Paradigm Atom V3's.

Linguist John McWhorter casts a kindly eye on quotation marks conveying emphasis. Fine, but when he defends "impact" used as a verb, I suggest he goes too far. "Quite simply, the verbs view, silence, worship, copy, and outlaw all began as nouns. No one has a problem with them."
