Jvc fd01’s. With spiral dots, those stay in for a while, then they break seal every few minutes. These azlas act like they’re glued in. Amazing

@purr1n word. I’ll try to post something over the weekend

They should have named it the Odo System. The speakers shape shift into the insturment(s) being played. How can you get more real than that?

This reminds me of some bookshelf speakers a neighbor built. He built the box with very thin maple...said that the box resonance should account for something, like an acoustic guitar. I have to admit, they didn't sound as bad as you would think.

Doesn't the cruelty bother you? The selective breeding of curly-haired children only to be slaughtered and head shrunk?

Hey man... gotta do what you gotta do to make things one of a kind...

Plot twist - the thing actually has $3k+ worth of gold on it and you come out ahead.

Wondering what a 2-way with Beyma 12lx60v2 and Faital HF146 + LTH 142 would sound like (mid-field, stand mount, with aforementioned ripole sub)

If someone finds a place for CAD to cut, please forward it on. I was going to do stuff at a local Fablab, but it has been closed since March due to the pandemic.

These would be a pretty easy way to try out the 2-way 12"/horn combo https://www.parts-express.com/pa-knock-down-trapezoid-plywood-speaker-cabinet-for-12-driver--245-324 Still need a cad-to-cut solution for the sub

I ordered the board and nutubes.

Shudder. Bad memories of that.

Have you tried asking E-MU?

I'll give that a try. Thank you.

Is this about headphones or is it from someones about me section on Linkedin?

There are bookshelves that are only 6-12" off the floor, things people do for BWC entry, YMMV, etc.

Laughing to the tune of 14" woofers in my 'bookshelf' L55s

I think they mean you use the speaker as book storage

Yup. I'm going to use them in my OB take on the JBL4345.

"Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!"

@philipmorgan I have had 3 pairs in the past (>3yrs). They are all broken now . I listened to just about everything on them but mostly at low volumes. Lack of bass make them shouty at moderate to high volumes. I liked them for their relatively good midrange and smooth treble (Relative to similarly priced IEMs which have garbage bass, dipped mids and mandatory 10khz treble spike. No bass > Bad bass)

Pairing bass light iems/buds is tricky as well. You shduldn't be using something like ESS or similar sounding sources with such phones. In absense of bass they would make midrange and above sound thin and tiny. I had a HTC M7 that did just that , while a Samsung S4 made them sound lot better

I dunno, I’m listening to them now Qobuz app/iPhone 7 via lightning dongle and my original opinion remains. Very clear, definitely mid-centric with enough lower midbass to make for a good listen. They definitely sound better than my AirPods #shrug

Thanks Obama

Cool. But one hard-hitting note???

The double-sided older HFMs all sound fairly similar in terms of bass response with a small bit of variation. I actually like the lewse bass of the HE4 and 400 for some bass-forward electronic and hip-hop stuff. HE6 definitely the tightest and most controlled, but not as phat as the 4-series. HE5LE kind of in between.

Yeah, hard hitting one note.

I'll go as high as Asgard 3 on the amp, or use my JLH69 if a few more watts are needed.

I'm a hardass about this because to me anything more than $400 for a headphone component is a waste compared to the ROI of the same money towards speaker gear. :)

I've got a modded HD650 and Magni 3, so I know what awesome midrange, wooly bass is like. I'd like tot experience awesome hard-hitting tactile bass, but on a budget. (also had the THX00, which was great, but didn't have the muscle of the HE6 in the bass)

Vtory created a budget system in his review with JLH69 https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/hifiman-he6se-measurements-and-short-review.8544/page-2#post-279225

What did you replace it with?

Daking mic pre one into a motu m4's line input.

Oh, and was using a dbx 286s pre. Sold that. It sounds significantly bad (wooly lower midrange, sibilance) vs the daking.

I haven’t listened to mine recently, but I was pretty “meh” on them overall. They didn’t sound as good as the wired version with an iPhone dongle IMO and the cable was fiddly and annoying.

The legacy of grumpy cat lives on!

When grumpy cat died his power only increased. Now he is...

I bought a small pair of assembled bookshelves when he was first starting out. Fairly flat and inefficient but a bit unexciting. didn't keep them too long.

Philip, I heard their 4-way model called the Cali4 at the California Audio Show a couple weeks ago. That one was good.

Woah

Those crazy mothafockars!!

@spwath @Lyer25 that is horrible. What a POS.

ha, i love how psalm reps the entire sub-genre on the back. trying to imagine the 'smooth jazz' equivalent.

That is strangely believable. Although instead of the VW van, I could see him in one of those 60s era ford vans, kinda like the Scooby Doo mobile.

Definitely something cab-over
