Why aren't powered speakers more popular?
Yeah, I think that's it. The only disadvantage is that you have to buy them together. It'd be cool if some high-end speakers came with active crossovers instead of passive, but then you'd be obliged to (a) get monoblocks, and ( get one for each driver set (I.E. normally, in a 3-way design, you'd need 6 monoblocks, but if you had symmetrical midrange drivers or something, you'd theoretically only need one amplifier for both midrange drivers -- but that's the exception, not the rule).

Should I buy Quad 22L's as my first real speakers?
I think you mean url, not irl. (Universal Resource Locator vs. In Real Life, LOL).

I'm going to be out of town on 10/6, and still en route back on 10/13, alas.- Closed Phone for $100??
I'd go shiny (and one "reality" pic).- Your recent music purchases
Living Stereo SACD's this weekend: Dvor?k's New World Symphony and Other Orchestral Masterworks Ravel: Bolero; La Valse; Rapsodie Espagnole The Chopin Ballades & Scherzos- Should I buy Quad 22L's as my first real speakers?
Oh, yeah, I remember those! I had just forgotten that was you that got them. Sweet.- Should I buy Quad 22L's as my first real speakers?
Dew eet. From everything you describe, they should be exactly what you're looking for, and if you end up being unhappy with them, I don't think you'll lose any money in the long run. I have to wonder why tkam is selling them, though. Is there anything wrong with this particular pair, Todd? I can't purchase them at this time, otherwise I would in a heartbeat.- Do the smilie icons all look the same?
- Me and my Zana Deux (+ pics)...
Oh, and: really nice pics.- Do the smilie icons all look the same?
I liked postjack's post! With one minor quibble: Wait, what? Why does it appear to you that he's "kind of...sad"? It's more like "poker face tongue smilie". "Poker face" does not equal "kind of sad".- Me and my Zana Deux (+ pics)...
I have to agree, of all the rigs I've seen, yours is the best combination of: , , and , I've ever seen. Very nice.- Is the iMod a ripoff?
It's just you. That does not look phallic at all. Not that there's anything wrong with that.- I'm all alone here
You vamp looks kind of...square. "Blockhead", perhaps.- Do the smilie icons all look the same?
OP: You need glasses.- Don't Laugh: Cerwin Vega VS-150
I got nuthin'. (There was a question?)- Thoughts on Parasound gear?
I don't like their early stuff (had their entry level DAC and CDP), but I've heard the more recent stuff is really good. But that's not from personal experience.- Which R10 should be recabled with a balanced cable?
Fixed.- Which R10 should be recabled with a balanced cable?
I agree with this, so I chose the "whichever" option. You have a R10 with bass?- Is this guy high?
Y'know, I actually remember that from back when I frequented Head-Fi. It's what got the group buys in trouble. So...since like forever.- Is this guy high?
Wait, he says it still has its plastic protectors, but there are several pics with the plastic protectors off -- so obviously they can be removed and replaced. I don't know how "NOS" that is.- Is this guy high?
Since when has there been a rule against "flipping" on Head-Fi? I think the mods' policy towards the for-sale forum is pretty much "buyer beware".- family room upgrade almost complete :D
Did you photoshop that picture at all? Because the "after" looks really sharp. Nice!- homer simpson, very, very, very, very, very, very, very ,very (deap inhalation)
And...gone.- Laptop RAM, where to buy?
Hey, sorry, I never got back to you on this -- did you ever end up getting anything? If not: you have a Lenovo Thinkpad? Do you know what size modules is the max that you can take? - October DC area meet
