Havin' dinner with NoNoNoNoNoNo?

I think the ZampV3 would manage the task. Nice little amp. You could always buy a second one later and run the pair in mono, for double the power.

Ditto. RIP Davy!

Wait, I didn't hear you talk about any gear blowing up. Are you sure Al was there?

I'll save you Nell!

Yeah, and the Pencil Dhiks came to mind too.

^ This just proves there's always a sensible answer at Head-Case.

The real problem is modern technology and those too stupid to know when not to use it. You can drive by nearly any jobsite today and see some idiot using a power tool while talking or texting on his phone.

Heh, he. Heh, he...He said recti-fying.

Yeah, she's next in line.

Careful Shelly...your thunderpants are showing.

No, not at all. SawStop tables have a sacrificial aluminum cartridge that absorbs all the damage. And replacement is about $80.00. SawStop tables are not only safer, but actually quite well designed tables. I plan on having one when I set up a bigger shop.

Point taken, and agreed.

Generally speaking Ken, sticking filler into an orthos cavity makes a noticeable difference for better or worse. Also pads make a big difference with orthos.

Happy Birthday Naaman! Dude, you've got some small feet!

He just wants you to use Scotch, and not the sparkly Hello Kitty tape.

Awesome!

A giant congrat! I had to sort through and find my biggest one.

Keep us posted Crappy.

Just before his Dad burned him with gasoline, but a while before he started teaching middle school.

To me the ear is the final word, and almost every good active I've heard has impressed me in some way. The Genelec 8040APM has been a favorite two way for some time. If the Airmotiv6 can come close at about half the cost, then I'd be sold. Al's ATC monsters took the concept beyond my imagination, as I've mostly heard two way 6 1/2" active monitors. I also love that you eliminate the speaker cables with active speakers, as I think running longer interconnects vs. longer speaker cables is more favorable. That may just be in my head, but it sure costs less in general.

Well I'd love to see a serious effort from Thiel. And if Magnepan could develop a great ribbon headphone...

As headphone sales exceed speaker sales by a fair margin these days, I look for more speaker companies to set their logs in this fire.

Well I'm going to go against the grain here and say yes to going back to the Dean. Let the Dean decide what is right, since the rules do seem a bit murky at best.

Dan, IMO something magical happens when a company tailors an amp to specific drivers, and does it right. I've been a fan of active speakers for some time. My old Paradigm Reference Active 20s performed at a much higher level than the passive Studio 20 IMO, and that's with respectable amplification (McIntosh I believe). Al's ACT actives are some of the best speakers I've yet heard. The Airmotiv6 is on my short list.
