Yeah, seems like that to me as well. Going by the SR-X Mk3 Pro and even the Gamma Pro's... you can get very good performance from such a small driver though. Well it they voice it correctly.... 🙄

Absolutely but that might be a good thing. The SR-X was so overly damped it wouldn't really work today.

I read through it all and I have to disagree with his findings and it rang alarm bells for me when the room had an effect... yeah no!!

I've been away but this one was short lived but really bad. Some 30-40 thousand people lost all heating to the houses (in -10°C weather) and the electrical grid couldn't keep up so they lost that and cold water too in some places. Now another eruption is forecast in 3-4 weeks and that might just be the new norm for us.

There SR-X1 drivers are clearly a play on the older SR-XMk3/SR-5N basic structure as seen from the stators but who knows what the structure is actually like. I'll buy a set when they first become available and rip it all apart...

I'm all for that if it isn't a cash grab like the X9000. Looks like the SR-Omega... misses all of the design nuances and gets them all wrong

Exactly, flip the housing around and remove the stupid dust screen on the L300 and they are not bad at all. Not 207 good but why we have to fix their shit is annoying.

The name isn't fixed as of yet but they claim it will be neutral sounding... we'll see about that. It is set to replace the L300 but given it has leather earpads and a whole new structure... I doubt they will be cheap.

Stax are being sneaky...

In Japan the Spirit came in two versions, one with the wool and one without so I assume they just follow along with that. Plus the German importer had a lot of one-off things just sold there. ED-5, all the SR-5 stuff etc.

It's the Lambda Spirit, just a different name for different markets. I should have put my pile of broken drivers up on ebay for 2k€ instead of just throwing them in the trash where they belong...

Yup, I believe it was all filmed here

You mean Iceland...

Those were contractors, saving the large earth moving machines you can see in the background. Those were being used to make walls around the town to try and steer the lava away from it so they might come in handy later. The latest news claim the smaller fissure inside the town has pretty much closed at this point and most of the lava is running to the west so above the houses.

...so here we are again and this time it is much, much worse. It started just before 8am here and this was taken just as day was breaking, around 10:15am. This is right next to the town and a second fissure has opened up inside the town so yeah... this is not good. Now the town was evacuated quickly but the first houses have already been consumed by the lava and it can go only one way, through the town and into the sea. There was a serious accident this week in the town where a man was buried alive when he was trying to stabilize some of the fractures in the earth. They searched for two days but couldn't find him so it was decided to abandon the town yesterday.

Most SR-5N's were sold with SRD-6's so I'm sure this was the intended setup. There is no way to do the EQ properly at speaker level so this makes the most sense.

With the ED-5 there was no amp pairing as it uses the same chassis as the SRD-6 I think... it's been a while.

I'm sure they sold a lot more of 007A's so none of this makes any sense.

Yeah, what I've heard from dealers all around the world, the X9000 sells and the 007's sell... the rest not so much. This was not a good idea unless they plan on releasing a Mk3.

That certainly includes the Mk2 so we are all basically fucked.

...and just like that it is over. Gotta love how bloody random all of this is.

That's been done before. After the eruption in Vestmannaeyjar, which wiped out roughly a third of the town, people baked rye bread in the lava. It cooks at a relatively low temp (say 140°C) but for a long time so just dig a hole and leave it there for a day or two.

It's slowing down but it could also open up elsewhere... no way to know

This picture says quite a bit... That's how close it is to the town.

This seem to be slowing down but we really won't know as the weather is quite shit today.
