    • Polaris by TesseracT (2015) https://album.link/i/1015037591 Example: I listened to the albums a bit out of order I realize, this is stepping back to 2015. It is good, but it does not stand out and isn't as cohesive as Sonder (above). But playing is at a high level, and still great to listen to. I think that they have broken out of the Tool sound in the more recent works. A worthy album. It may need a relisten, if I can get Sonder out of the top of my queue for a day.  
    • There are people on this forum who I believe could design such a speaker. I probably shouldn't name names, but one chose a certain pipe tobacco as his name here. 😊 Building the speakers once someone much smarter than myself designs it, would be the fun part for me. My monitors that Marc designed are absolutely brilliant. I would still want the AMT unit atop the speaker in a dipole fashion.
    • Don't mistake me though. I personally have no issue with machine cut dovetails. I have made them, I like them, I don't think of them as a cheap shortcut. I have a lot of respect for the guys that are proficient with hand tools. Sometimes I find hand tools to be the quicker method, and that's when I generally use them. But I embrace power tools. I do want to be involved in the actual creation process, so I'd be more likely to use a CNC to cut templates, that I would then use to make forming the actual piece easier.
    • There has been this push to make the drivers more open when it can work against the overall design.  Perhaps it is just fashion/trend or the designers don't understand the air-damping and now to apply it.  With Stax looking to the past so much... I feel that they just don't know.  I've often used Quad as an example of what happens when the main designer retires and those who come after him... have no fucking clue what they are doing.  The ESL2912 is a ESL63 with all of the same issues but extra panels tacked on and higher bias, which makes them fail even more.  The panels still de-laminate as they did in 1982, how hard is it to use better materials now. 
    • I mean, I would need to develop enough expertise to use the machine, to start with. Still, could be a fun project.  Two way crossover with an AMT and a driver I'm sure someone has figured out, looks like a sealed box.  I could probably find someone around here to cut me a weird-ass baffle since this whole town is made of stone.  I'm inspired by your nonchalance, Steve!
