Bose has nothing to do with realistic or musical accuracy and everything to do with an advertising gimmick. And they are proof that with enough marketing dollars, one can sell almost anything as Bose could probably sell ice water to Eskimos if there were any stupid enough to buy it. Both Bose and Monster Cable live by the same business plan, advertise enough so everybody 'Thinks' your the best in the market place because your drowning everybody else out. pski;605704 Wrote: > The only 5-way speakers I can attest are Reference 9 Kappa's (with the > "chicken switch" set to fugetaboutit) > > I've had them for a lot of years and they've fried a number of > amplifiers and I've used them biamped and not And yes I know about speakers that kill amps because of my 80's love affair with Apogee Acoustics Speakers particularly the Full Range and the Diva (0.3 and 3 ohm loads). So I will ask my question again, why a 5-way speaker? 5 drivers cause many more problems then they even remotely attempt to solve. If its a loudness thing because more drivers can handle more power, then why not just buy a Marshall Stack because once it is so loud, its no longer about the Music but about the volume level. Just a friendly wondering....... as I guess I am a details guy when it comes to my music. Like hearing the artist's bracelet against the pick guard because its part of the recording which is lost at massive volume levels. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ ceiling speakers Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84991 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
