Yeah, me neither (on the bumps, not about not finding any pair uncomfortable). And then I looked at the pic and wondered how could I have missed that. I wonder if it's psychological -- people look at those bumps and think, "boy, those are going to be uncomfortable", and therefore, they become so.

I thought this thread was going to be about birds flying south. Go advanced.

Yeah, that was what I was trying to impress. What, used? I don't think so. Speakers are probably lowest on my list for things I'd buy used, and ribbons and electrostats would be lowest among speakers. I mean, maybe if I knew the buyer, and was somehow else confident as to its condition, but other than that, no.

It's too bad these are just a wee bit too big

There are several of us on this forum who own speakers from Quad's L-range, and we're all pretty fond of them. I don't think any of us have anything as small as the 9 (I don't think anyone here owns anything smaller than an 11). (yeah, yeah, "that's what she said", uh-huh) I have zero experience with the Totems, though I've heard they're good. Just get them both and sell the one you like less.

I thought the L's came in both active and inactive passive...?

Yeah, short answer: very. Has anyone heard the relatively newer reference series from Quad, specifically the 2905?

Actually, I bet well-amped ribbon-based line-source speakers would give That Sound. Like Apogees.

;)

You know they reintroduced the CLX?

Curry actually sounds like a good idea. I might try that.

Not sugar -- then I'll just get a sweet-and-sour sauce.

So I made a second batch of Peter's Purple Chicken, only this time I used a white zinfandel (Frey), almost a rose'. I tried to make a rue with the leftover wine (+ flour + butter), but it turned out a little tart. What can I add to combat the tartness, any recommendations?

That was pretty cool of them.

To be fair, when comparing notes with others to whom it wasn't their favorite -- we didn't always agree on the roller-coaster aspect.

Or, perhaps it was a double-positive (like a double-negative, only not so negative).

I wouldn't do that. Hirsch still uses his HEV70 once in a while.

No, she just means that one guy named 'Will' will. The real typo was the question mark at the end.

Awesome, you're showing us a picture of your wife, in a "what did you do today?" thread. Ah, to be young and in love again...

To me -- the frequency response is fairly roller-coaster -like, especially in the midrange and treble.

You're not the only one -- I laugh every time I see that name, too. There's: Garden of Shadows Torture Garden Garden of Earthly Delights ...and, of course, Hoegaarten, which is German for Ho-Garden. And now, for my next translation, Die Frau ohne Schatten -- the woman who hasn't had her shots.
