So you want to give me more work - well do it your bloody self.

Do you know, for someone into the purity of Eastern martial arts you aren't half aggressive.

Buy some drive units, bolt them in an old cupboard and then listen. If they don't work properly then change them, change the cabinet, change the drivers until it does. What you get then is a simple loudspeaker that sings.

...and a big pile of redundant cabinets and drivers, not to mention a gaping hole in the wallet

That's ace. Now all the guy needs is to make a tripod for under a Dollar (or does he really have only one hand )

...If you were capable of reading and understanding the thread you will see that my point is that you do not need designers....

...If they don't work properly then change them, change the cabinet, change the drivers until it does. What you get then is a simple loudspeaker that sings. Usual way if it do...

I'm sorry to say this Richard, but that IS designing - be it reactively rather than proactively.

Well then if they don't sound wonderfull it is obviously the fault of - pick from many - ...... the designers wife is at the wrong time of the month.

Bit sexist, that, Richard! Supposing the wife is the designer.

Jerry,

I think Richard is currently having 'a wee mood', after his recent hissy fit with Chris. Normal service should be resumed shortly

The big squeeze is on, fun and bargains for everyone.

For those non ebay watchers who haven't noticed, the retailers are jumping on ebay to try and shift stock, and prices are plummeting. If you pay full retailer whack for something at the moment you are daft, 30% discount will become the norm as they steadily go bust.

Linn dealers are trying to offload stock, which is very interesting, as it is known the company has problems. Even some Naim dealers are panicking.

But it is trade ins and old stock that is mostly being put up and is also mostly going up with no reserve, and going prices are 50% less (equivelent) than last year I estimate.

So the process starts, I will enjoy watching it.

Well I'm not surprised at all, even those prices are more than some of the stuff is worth.

Also it's good to be able to buy hifi now that doesn't use any of those "magic" interconnects.

Welcome back, Richard!
