The World's 15 Sexiest Speakers Put Your Girlfriend to Shame

You wouldnt know class and dignity if you kicked you in the ass.

Youre a pathetic piece of garbage.

Advertisements with the usual pathetic lack of class and dignity. No wonder so many of you are attracted to them.

okay - Gabby's done her usual drive-by-flame-post...let's get back to discussing Speakers!

That's correct. That's why they say to keep your speakers at least a foot from the wall, and if you want to deaden your room, add curtains, carpet, furniture, etc..

Mine are about 9". I guess I'm not so dumb after all.

If you have a sealed enclosure, it's not that important. But with like my Infinity Beta 50's, they have a tuned base port in the rear. Even the smaller Beta 20's for surround have a rear tuned port, and I have them away from the wall as well.

The '78 speakers use a passive diaphragm to greatly reduce pressure inside the box. Besides, 3/4" pressboard deflects less than 20 gauge steel. There is no distortion, at least up to the rated wattage, which I recall is about 150 and louder than I care to listen too.

Speakers against the wall reflect the bass against the wall. Upolstered furniture absorbs it. This is a frickin' den not a sound lab.

The lamps are heavy brass and don't rattle. I don't listen to music at 150 db anyway since it scares the dog.

My old speaks have high dome tweeters that give excellent sound dispersion. The fact that you can hear both at nearly every position in the room is why I shelled out over 3 bills back then.

glad you like your system.....

Dang - those look like speakers a homo would own.

not a homo but i did stay in a holiday in express last night....

pull them about two feet away......then tune your speakers at a listening chair about 15 feet away......if you have bass and trebel controls tune them to neutral....

.....
however a wood box still deflects ..... it is the nature of wood and glue .....

All else equal, 18ga steel deflects 3342 times more than 3/4" medium density fiberboard:

Mine have 10" passive radiators facing front.

and the point of your post is what .... which speaker box is made of 18 ga steel? ... and tell me of the structural integrity of a steel to steel weld and wood to glue to wood......

you play tennis with a wood raquet huh? still have that persimon 3 wood?

You were pissing about wood boxes so what material and thickness would you prefer speaks to be made of?

I don't have a big enough room to pull them that far out. Anyway, in the Infinity book that came with the speakers, a "foot from the wall, or more" was their recommendation. My listening position is about ten feet away. The new Pioneer receiver I bought, the VSX-1017TXV has auto tune up. I didn't like it. It adjusted the base to the point where the speakers sounded like a transistor radio. I had to redo it manually. I am able to save four different custom set ups in it though, and it also has EQ OFF, ALL CHANNEL DIRECT and FRONT ALIGN. I like my own set up the best.
