Yeah, these look like they're facing outwards from the vehicle. And yes, I realize deep bass is non-directional, but...aren't drivers designed for better dispersion etc. from the front -- they're not designed to have the optimal response from the backwave. Also, they look wrong. So that's just out. They look like those passive baffles or whatever it is that Wilson-Benesch do.

Amplifier, The Octopus -- contemporary prog -- bombastic (in the Beatles/Flaming Lips way, not in the Mahler way), a little all-over-the-place...I like!

And perhaps have the drivers FACING THE RIGHT WAY!

Schiller, Atemlos (live)

Dude, that sucks so hard.

I started to type all the things I liked about it, and ended up synopsizing as I did above.

I've seen one or two episodes of this here and there, that is not by any means the way to see it. Start from the beginning.

Can be done.

I The Onion.

Stuck. And the correct terminology is "Someone should stick this thread." Me: Little Boots/Gary Numan collaboration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWL6gsUoNFw, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEQW4lnonno, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EETEv1Xt4WY, and a bonus, (w/just Gary Numan).

Nice specs, and I approve of the color scheme.

My thoughts exactly. Not verbatim, but...close enough. I think I might have said, "yeezh" instead of "sheesh".

So say we all. I'm so glad we have you, Tyll.

Had some more Eau de Cookie II last night. It was better than it was the previous night -- I can't imagine beer needing to "breathe", though.

Tyll's there somewhere. Live updates!

Tuna salad samich. You mean, "when...".

Regarding the video/shootout -- I wish they had used a higher-res source -- analog/live sound, perhaps? I mean, they have a whole studio around them. Running a CD (16/44.1) into a high-res convertor doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Actually, I think Al was trying to say he suspects Monster is going to go after them, not that they have already.

Little Boots, Hands -- synthpop on the order of Goldfrapp, Kylie, et al. Quite retro and very pop, but with some strong songwriting underneath: Little Boots - Stuck on Repeat

And the stylized "s" logo is a little too close to what would be the font for the Beats "b" -- this is one lawsuit I actually think is Monster's.

That's actually pretty cool. They also have Owl w/headphones.

We were getting a lot of double-posts, and we're seeing if keeping the threads shorter helps with that, because it seemed to be more with the longer threads.

Actually, you're kind of agreeing. The alternative viewpoint could be phrased thusly: ...they won't sound different, then they probably won't. And I don't know of any DBT that could refute that particular placebo effect. And kudos to all for keeping this potential charged subject civil. Cheers!

Not necessarily the same, this is more about the DACses than about the transports: pro HD shootout.

Enemy of the Sun, Caedium -- quite easily album of the week for me. Nicely complex metal without being "math metal", and the vocals aren't laughably bad.
