    Haven't been here in ages...

    ...and figured I should rear my ugly little head with a hey! I'm sure (kinda, anyway) someone is still around who remembers me; I was a snotty, opinionated brat with a fuzzy knowledge of audio. Well, now I'm a snotty, opinionated brat with a rather clear knowledge of audio. I cringe at my past...

    Hey the White van guys tried to sell speakers to me. Ha, ha, ha

    Oh, yea, "aluminized." :laugh: Either way, in a PA speaker, it's a bad idea. Long live paper! :D

    what do you guys use to clean the drivers?

    If the drivers have a nice shine that you wouldn't want to scratch, I wouldn't use a cloth (unless it's really, really, really freaking soft). I've had much success with Swiffer Dusters and things of that sort. Feather dusters, those hairy-duster things (what they're called escapes me at the...

    Bright?

    [stupid thought]I remember someone using the term "bright" to describe the sound of piezo horn tweeters and I totally disagree. Piezo horn tweeters are annoying at best...Not bright, just annoying. :D [/stupid thought] The term "bright" to me best describes the sound of a speaker system...

    V.O.T's Are back! (Altec Lansing Voice Of Theater) In production!

    I did a presentation on the history and improvement loudspeakers about two years ago for an engineering class and the Voice of the Theater series from Altec was a big part of it. Too bad I've had to format my hard drive so many times, otherwise I'd still have it. :frowning:

    most overpriced but popular speakers?

    Awww, I was hoping for a Bose-bashing thread. :frowning: :D

    A Bose product that I actually like...

    Well, there is no noise-cancelling technology used in these. These are just like the QuietComfort Headphones that Bose makes, just without the noise-cancelling stuff... I'm actually working on replacing them with Koss or AKG studio headphones because they're built so poorly. Don't ya just...

    A Bose product that I actually like...

    Bose TriPort Headphones... I just don't understand it. It's astonishing... Bose makes something that sounds GOOD! Boggles the mind. Really, I'm confused. :confused: (See? I even used the emoticon! :D ) Well, there is one thing I don't like about them, I paid $150 for this pair of...

    Low Wattage subs of any use?

    I know, I know...I'm no help. :D

    Low Wattage subs of any use?

    Well, it sounds to me that you're not talking about subwoofers, so I assume that these would be woofers. Another thing that springs to mind is that this sounds like a very old Sony shelf or floor system. I want to know if the receiver/amp your talking about is four-channel or just...

    The rattling, oh the rattling...

    Ok, don't laugh... It's a rather old Sony TV, from about 1986... And I solved the problem... I just put some little pieces of cloth in the frame that holds the screen in... No big deal. :) I really need a new TV down here...

    The rattling, oh the rattling...

    Ok, I have a 15' x 22' (8' height) AV/Band room that has a 36'' Sony projection TV in it... And I can't stop the plastic screen from rattling! ...I'm willing to open it up (again) and use some sealer but I'm afraid of the sealer I have eating through the plastic screen. Any suggestions...

    Ok, I'm wondering about the Wharfedale Zaldek line... Again!

    Well, now that I've heard these Zaldek's, I think I'm gonna get four Wharfedale VS12 PA speakers and a nice PA amp or two for my heart-stopping, bloody-ear, crap-in-your-pants, piss- off-the-neighbors band sound system later this summer. :D

    Ok, I'm wondering about the Wharfedale Zaldek line... Again!

    Well... Yea... That does make sense. (And they say that HT nuts are bass happy... :D )

    Ok, I'm wondering about the Wharfedale Zaldek line... Again!

    Well.. I take back that statement... They wouldn't be THAT bad for HT, but they do produce too much bass for use as mains or surrounds in a HT system... I don't know really know that much about HT, other than that good HT systems sound awesome. Especially when the mains and the surrounds...

    Ok, I'm wondering about the Wharfedale Zaldek line... Again!

    I would like to mention one of the drawbacks of these speakers... When I got them they didn't sound good because one of the tweeters wasn't connected in the inside... I had to take the front plate off and take the tweeter out and re-connect it... But, it's no big deal for me. I also...

    Ok, I'm wondering about the Wharfedale Zaldek line... Again!

    Note: Every speaker I've ever owned has been a stage speaker or stage monitor... And I think these speakers are better... Much less harsh and the bass is really smooth... Did I mention that the woofers are well behaved? ...Well, they are.
