Power numbers don't really mean anything and this is paradoxically true with high efficiency drivers. Remember, it is all about gain and attenuation an how this translates to acoustic watts.
That said, I wouldn't rule it out Throw some ideas out there!
Yeah, I have a Krell KAV-400xi which is nice, but I'm thinking it's the wrong approach here.
I have heard any MF gear I'm a while. They used to have the reputation for being decent circuits that were poorly implemented. Not sure if that's still the case. I'll look around locally for sure.
Build, buy, it's all possible!
Ok, barring total fail on being able to construct the cabs, the Lowther TP-1 Isis with DX4 drivers (not sure what phase plug) it is. 3/4" Russian Birch construction. They'll be nice and heavy.
So, moving up the chain.
Amp. I think I'd like an integrated, and the Krell seems a bit much for these.
I'm thinking Pass INT-30A.
Any other suggestions?
There is at least one person here with these ingredients Try it. Drink the sweet, sweet cocktails!
I think I'll try the fizz tomorrow, that looks nice!
Yeah, that's the artistic license part
Also, Creole Shrubb is technically a rum.
The Oriental is already a strange one. Any other cocktails that use rye and lime? That's weird to begin with.
This is a nice one for sure.
(Not Quite An) Oriental Cocktail
1.5 oz rye (Redbreast 12)
.75 oz curacao (Creole Shrubb)
.75 sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica)
.5 oz lime juice
Shake and strain. Garnish with a cherry.
Fantastic modification! The Redbreast really works here. Has anyone tried it in a cocktail?
Mikey, do you receive scotch from direct overseas sources? I found a cachaca website in Brazil that claims they can no longer ship to the US, which I found hard to believe...
Cocktail al la Louisiane
0.75 oz rye
0.75 oz Italian vermouth
0.75 oz Benedicine
2 dashes of Peychaud's
Rise of Absinthe
Rinse glass in absinthe, discard. Stir remaining elements for 1 minutes with ice. Strain and garnish with a brandied cherry.
Yeah, I just wanted to see what ideas people might have.
I'm considering the Lowther TP1 Isis and the Lowther Opus One
The former isn't a true corner loaded design, as the corner isn't part of the transmission line. However, it's made to sit in the corner, just like the old school TP1. The later is a true corner loaded design..
Yeah, that would be possible, but IMHO the above sound better than any Cains I've heard in the best case and is a lateral move in the worst case.
Also, I am of the opinion that Lowthers work better in a front loaded, or mixed loading scenario, for the reason that recstar24 pointed out.
