    Ah - the good old battleship grey Cambridge Audio livery. It was panned by the reviewers, as were the buttons on the CD player (they described them as reminiscent of poking dead flesh). Very unfair, b

  • I dunno, can i post this here? The leather was just an idea - making some matching wood pulls would be cool - maybe when things die down at M&O of course my speaker cables are too short

Now I can see one picture. The video kind of plays because the cursor runs and there's audio, like a background piano, but no image. Probably some missing codec in this browser. Whatever.

Did a little "audio therapy" last weekend with an audio buddy.  Visited one of my 2 favorite dealers and did some nice listening to YG Acoustics....have loved their stuff for years.

I got a Velodyne CHT powered sub for the low price of "you're first in line, come pick it up" today.  #MVLife

Now in the correct thread.

 

Several years back, I met a Head-Fi member from San Antonio, known as plaid platypus. I visited his home and was very impressed with his Genelec system.

Today Genelec's pinnacle loud speaker is the 8381A. It's a 5 way adaptive point source monitor. At $32,000 per speaker, it's not cheap. But as a fan of the Genelec sound, I'd love to hear these speakers.

I have questions.

If all others considered classic "enjoyable" porn, this is like a really weird japanese porn you cannot "enjoy" cuz of obvious reasons...

A guy I've known on Discogs since like 2002 picked up some dream speakers.  Kid for scale.

I have the audiovisual for that above pic, yessir i do.

Starts with pops hauling crates, making noises down in the garage, real early like. Pregnant pause before he walks in from the kitchen door and i look up real doe-like. Queueing the audio in in my imaginary mixer:

 

Son?

Yes sir?

We've got work to do today, eat that breakfast.

Yessir!

And don't discuss any of this with your mother, you hear me?

My son has two cats. He also plays bass guitar, and has a monster loudspeaker with a massive port on the bottom.

You can guess the punchline.

One of the cats went missing. After a search of the house and outdoors - no cat. Lots of weeping and wailing. Was the cat dead somewhere?

It had actually made a nice warm nest in the loudspeaker wadding. Only discovered when my son fired up the amp and did some playing. Cat shot out of the port. Mystery solved.

This is absolutely crazy.

Those are Legacy Whispers.  I'm enough of a nerd to remember when they came out in the early 90s.  They were Legacy's statement model.  They're actually not as bassy as the Focus model (which I have coveted for 35 years now) but they excel in more or less every other aspect.  Of course, the way to get around the lack of bass is:

Holy shitballs!  He found those in the trash...???!!!

I've owned a couple Legacy speakers in my days: The Legacy Classic (Kevlar midrange edition, I think that was the second version of it), Karen actually got it for me as our engagement gift!  Then very briefly the Signature 3's, and then the Studio HD's.

I also remember going to a Head-Fi'er acquaintances place south of Boston, he had a pair of Legacy Focus (Focii?), driven by Krell KMA-100 mono's and a nice VAC preamp.  Don't even remember his front end.  That combo filled a small room surprisingly well!  Such full sound, top to bottom; but still very relaxed and effortless sounding.

The Whispers are nice-looking, would love to hear them.  Also had read about a less deep bass response....
