Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Sean and Dean’s Excellent Adventure

Maybe it was just more headroom?

And, for the record, the tube amps are rated at 120 watts. I've never had a problem running any speaker with them.

I agree that the Loreleis had great sounding bass for just the one driver. I had wanted to A/B compare some Goa Trance with a very rapid punching bass beat but just prior to Sean’s arrival I discovered that the outlet I plugged the vacuum cleaner into in the living room is on the same circuit as my media room. So when the portable A/C in their kicked on it wasn’t for long. Net result was I couldn’t burn anything to a CD before Sean got here because my NAS gets bitchy about coming back up when not shut down gracefully.

Dean, seeing as how you still have the Loreleis at your place, feel free to hook them up and test them out with anything you want. See if the Onkyo has an A/B function that would be suitable to the task?


And, kids, let this be a lesson to you. NEVER clean your room. See what it can do to your home theater?

Thanks Sean. Even if the Onkyo doesn’t I have an A/B switch similar to yours it impedance matches but not level.

You guys had this great get together with a listening sessions and you both take the time to write up your impressions and post photos........ and you know what I take away from it?



snicker-snicker.

**note to self--work on better phrasing!

That's OK. Ken was talking about big Tool(s) in the 90s music thread.

When I first got my M60's, I A/B'd 'em with my Snells (also a 2-way w/ a 7" driver). So much of what you guys describe sonically compares very closely with what I experienced.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to turn your fun day into thoughtful words that you could share. Nice to read that stuff from real people and not reviewers.

Agreed. Reviewers are not real people.

Well I jest but honestly, so often their review is a cut and paste of the manufacturers press release that you do have to wonder if there is a real person back there.

Sean, don't worry about your phrasing. You want to see an unwise choice of terminology, check out this guy on a shooter's forum trying to describe the handling of his new custom Model 1911 pistol like this .
