PM6a

Paul I will get back to you re the pm6a. I will ask a fair market price for it - its just that I have no idea what that is! I have thought about using the other pair for OBs and I migh well try that at some point. However, I've taken a bit of a flier and bought a pair of vintage Altec Biflex full ra...

First Watt

I have probably got this wrong but I thought the first watt doctrine was based on the argument that with reasonably efficient speakers one watt was all that was being used for most of the time; all those extra watts that you might have at your disposal only come into play fleetingly on high energy t...

PM6a

Paul If you are interested I have a vintage PM6a sitting in a box doing nothing. Not sure whether its 8 or 15 ohm, will check if you are interested? I also have a pair of Accoustas with vintage PM6a units. Cabinets are probably not worth much but the drivers clearly are. John Howes gave them new sur...

Altec Biflex for OBs?

I want to try making some OBs as some folks reckon that well implemented OBs can outperform ESLs, which I currently use. I'm thinking of some vintage Altec Biflex for the "full range" drivers supplemented by my Velodyne DD12 sub and a quality ribbon tweeter such as the Raven 2. Anyone got ...

QNAP + HDD ?

I'm very intrigued by the QNAP + SBox idea - much better than having to boot up your computer. However I have a question for those who know about this stuff: I've already got a shed load of my music stored on an external HDD (in apple lossless). If I buy the QNAP can I hook up the HDD to it so that ...

Just to say thanks for the hospitality and I was well impressed with your P2 amp. I had a really interesting day and it was great to meet y'all.

Cheers

David I'm sorry but my love has waned, I preferred you as a blonde. I'm fickle like that. Samantha: at risk of being accused as a sexist git, its refreshing to to hear of a female of the species who knows a baffle from a buffer. Now if you tell me you like science fiction as well I may just have to ...

Hi Samantha from one new member to another. And yet another from Yorkshire. Excellent! David C: just seen you're avatar for the first time. If that's a picture of you then I have to report that in the few hours since joining this forum my sexual orientation has mysteriously and inexplicably flipped....

Thanks for the your welcomes guys. My comment about the private club was not intended to be a criticism by the way, just kinda saying I'd like to join too! Happily there seems to be quite a few Yorkshire based members. I originate from Halifax and currently reside just over the Huddersfield boundary...

I hope its not fancy dress

Having read some of the posts on here I do feel a bit like I'm invading a private members club but hell Nick invited me so here I am. Nick has also kindly arranged for me to make my physical debut at Steve's on Saturday (I assume you are aware of this Steve, oh and Hi by the way) so I look forward t...
