you don't say... Well sometimes I have people over and it's hard to share headphones, even if you have multiple pairs. I figured even in this not-optimal environment, the Quads will at least sound decent.

well this is going to be near-field too, as I'm no more than 3 or 4 feet away from the speakers

LOL, that just reminds me of that scene from that movie Hustle and Flow when the guy's nailing egg crates on the walls.

I could potentially score a pair within this week, so I just wanted people who have heard/owned the 12L active monitors to speak out about their experiences. To be honest I don't expect optimal performances out of them in my room, because my room is not that great: somewhat thick dry-walls with wooden floors, and I would pretty much have to place them right up against the long wall due to space constraints. And every time I clap my hands, I hear a slight echo in the room. But given all of that, it's a potentially good deal, so I just wanted some opinions on everything from whether it's even worth it for me to get them or how they sound. It's really open-ended. My equipment is in the sig, will be driving them with my GS-X's pre-amp outs.

Day 4 since I'm left without my L3000s, am beginning to see things that aren't there...

http://www.tubedepot.com/nos-4212e.html Holy Shit! $2000 for a pair.

Thanks for the offer Peter, but I'm flying back to California tomorrow as my internship is ending today.

Yeah I never managed to get pass the fourth level.

No, maschoistic is trying to play Ikuraga on the Gamecube trying not to die.

You know Halo is a lot more fun when you are drunk playing co-op with your drunk buddies on Legendary. But yeah, gonna go through a week of withdrawal.

Well my L3000s are going out tomorrow to be recabled. Shit, now I have a week with absolutely nothing.

He doesn't update his website very often, but if you email him, he gets back to you within 24 hours. Too bad he ran out of Dynamight boards or else I might have asked him to build me one.

Elephas: I guess living outside of the states does impose a limit on what amps you hear, but trust me, there are much better amps out there than Ray's. For the money you paid for the Apache, you could get SFT Audio, who is in Taiwan, to build you a Beta-22 or dynamight.

What, I can't take a page out of the 909 playbook? All joking aside: just because you don't "get it" doesn't mean it sucks

Just because they don't excel in any specific area doesn't mean they can't be competent in multiple ones. I guess I just have trouble with your exaggerated claims.

I don't HATE the W5000s, it's just not my sound.

LOL, now you are just being an ass.

Oh come on, they aren't that bad. My dislike of them isn't from a technical point of view, because they are pretty good technically. So it's perfectly possible that Elephas likes them.

fucking doctors

Why would keep an amp with an output impedance that is SO horribly mismatched with the impedance of the W5000s?

You got some rich friends j-pak; isn't the Avantgardes something like 15k retail?

Yeah, the Raptor sucks. I can see why you don't use your K1000s: the Raptor can't drive them at all.

1) K1000s: definitely make you look like an alien 2) Stax Lambda series: can anyone say 'radiators'?

You need some help son, this is becoming a problem...it's time we had an intervention: I demand that you give your L3000s to postjack *types all this while listening to some Miles on the L3000s at work*
