This would be my recommendation as well, if your impedances will let you. Small footprint, to boot.

I think that's probably a safe call.

I'm actually thinking in this direction, no joke.

What?!?!? The 3007WFP or the 3008WFP? I'm definitely in the market for a 3008WFP, I'm going to kick myself if I missed it. And yes, I am very tempted by that 37" as a TV -- that's plenty for me. I think we have until the 24th to decide.

"should be" == future tense

What about externals, will the firmware fix fix externals?

Actually, looking at the article, the firmware update applies to it as well. The problem is that I already installed one, so they might charge me a restocking fee. (newegg) I'll return the other one, though.

Damn, and I just got two of the 1.5's that are freezing (original story linked me to the story).

I saw on head-fi that you guys were also waiting on my impressions of the T40RP MkII's, so here they are: they're good. Yeah, I know, overly concise to the point of useless, but (a) they're not even burned in yet, and ( not sure about the amplification, will take my Supra++ home this weekend and give it a more extended listen, and © I don't have any prior ortho experience, so can compare it to no other ortho's other than the T50RP which I got at the same time. I'm not even sure I have a Mk II of the T50RP (curved vs. flat pads? I'm not sure I understand...). So you-all will have to settle for pictures.

Air, Virgin Suicides soundtrack -- melancholy, mellotron-y.

Well then, maybe he's just being persnickity, I don't know. EDIT: Or is that before the transformers? Do Raidho's even have transformers?

I will be checking them out, but not planning on buying anything.

I oftentimes have dinner for breakfast, sometimes I have lunch for breakfast. Then I have lunch at dinnertime, and foods usually associated with breakfast for "midnight snack". And then for tea, I have well tea, actually. As in the drink. As in, it's not a meal. For me.

I didn't get the impression from the article that "being sidetracked" had anything to do with it -- it sounds like he constantly has multiple projects going on. The issues were twofold -- he had heard that same study about magnets close to the head issue, and is looking into it (also shielding, and then the weight problem); and amplification (ribbons, of course, require special amplification) -- I'm assuming it's the same issue as with ribbon speakers -- I.E. the low impedance presented across the frequency spectrum, but have not received confirmation.

I have a thermal undershirt on today, because the office gets cold after 7 or so (I think they turn the heat down). I'm comfy for now. Wow, that was poetic. Nice imagery.

Anyone know how to check Dell's Deal of the Day?

According to this page (buried in the last paragraph), he hasn't forgotten about them. But the news is not good. I still say Smeggy should test them out.

What is this superfelt? Is this some sort of extra special acoustic felt, or is it just a certain type of felt that I can pick up at the local G Street Fabrics?

The response I got from Alex echoed the response that Srajan got initially, so I wouldn't be surprised if his interest waned again.

China scoops us C'mon, that thing is hot -- asymmetrical enclosure, with a yin/yang aspect to it (see the pic on the third page), Raal ribbon tweeters... Want. No, wait, I want the Raal omnis: linky. Damnit...

see bottom of page I've actually known about these since October, but missed the fact that it was public information.
