HUH!!(you have to see this, I am serious, you don't know what you're missn

[texas1928]

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?!?




My wife told me I could not have these.

:(

[Mutley]

1. Wow.

That would take up my entire living room. But it would piss off the neighbors nicely. :D

[texas1928]

8. Oh the things I would love to do with those and the ass next door.

But, I have to play the bigger man here.

[ohiosmith]

2. Yea, but does the dial go to 11?

[texas1928]

4. With those speakers you probably wet yourself at 5.

[A HERETIC I AM]

51. "Why don't you just make 10 louder?"

"But.....these go to Eleven"


too funny

[LynneSin]

3. Your wife sounds like a damn smart woman...

..give her a kiss and remind yourself why you're so damn lucky to have found her!

[texas1928]

5. She never let's me have any fun...

:(

[LynneSin]

9. Oh believe me, she'll let you have fun

She just knows when you're overdoing it and prevents you from going too far

[texas1928]

10. BUT BUT

I NEED those speakers. I DO!!!!

[LynneSin]

11. If it wasn't for her....

...you'd have those speakers, but you'd also be living in a tiny ass apartment forever wearing dirty underwear, mismatched socks and probably eating a Swanson's Hungry Man meal.

Think about it - now go give her a kiss and tell her how much you love her!

[texas1928]

12. Already did.

and I only have one sock so they can not get mismatched. Hungry Man are the best.

[LynneSin]

14. Please, just tell me the underwear are clean

I'm begging of you - please!

[texas1928]

17. Not...a....

nevermind.

:P

[MN ChimpH8R]

56. Nahh...

They're efficient as hell, but an audiobuddy has them and they kind of shout at you in the midrange unless you're in a giganto room. Try Wilson Audio or JMLab-Focal!

[Bucky]

53. Above this post are a bunch of subjects that scream "DON'T READ THIS!"

When I see a thread with headings like this, I know I don't want to open up that particular thread. T.M.-freakin'-I., folks

Your wife sounds like a damn smart woman...

[enigmatic]

6. I'm picturing in my mind playing "Ace Of Spades" by Motorhead on that..

the next time the people downstairs start playing their video games at top volume after midnight..

[texas1928]

7. Or the beginning of Fantasy by Aldo Nova.

That would ROCK!!!!!!!!

[proud patriot]

13. I confess

I called my husband into the room to see those :wow:

Those speakers need Jimmy

[texas1928]

23. My wife was looking over my shoulder...

and all she said was NO.

[stlsaxman]

15. New BOSE (Box Only Sound Extra) Line?

Those look absolutely awful. Contrary to popular belief- louder is NOT better.

Save your money (and maybe your marriage). ;)

[texas1928]

24. Oh come on...

They could probably make the brown noise.

[kedrys]

16. Yeah, but do they rip women's clothes right off at high volume?

'cause you gotta have goals. :P

[texas1928]

21. HEE HEEE

HEE HEE HEEHEE HEEE!!


Is that perverted enough?

HEE HEE

[kedrys]

35. The s.o. just saw those

Now I'm supposed to get them. Dammit. :P

[texas1928]

39. HA HA

You get giant speakers.

[Orsino]

18. "THOSE'RE PRETTY COOL!"

I said,

THOSE ARE PRETTY COOL!!!

[texas1928]

19. WHAT!!

HUH!!!!!!

[Orsino]

31. Sure!

ABOUT SEVEN-THIRTY!!!

[leftofthedial]

20. that's a picture of my neighbor's kid's car stereo

apparently

[texas1928]

27. That's a big car.

Damn, hate to pay the gas on that one.

[leftofthedial]

29. mightily impressive

[OffWithTheirHeads]

22. Hell, most of the kids in my neighborhood

already have these in their cars.

[texas1928]

25. So you have a bunch of deaf teenagers.

yep.

[RC]

26. So.... What's to keep the roof from collapsing after the walls

get blown out?

[texas1928]

28. Good carpentry.

Yep that is it.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

30. it will collapse your lungs

[texas1928]

33. You sure.

[texas1928]

38. Ok

I believed you the first time.

:P

[China_cat]

32. Wannabe set up

Here's what you really need:

[texas1928]

34. This is not woodstock

and I do not have an arena for a living room. SHEESH

[China_cat]

40. That wasn't Woodstock, either.

[MN ChimpH8R]

57. Nope

It's the Grateful Dead's incredible Alembic-designed Wall of Sound from the 1970s. Powered by McIntosh. wOOt!

[China_cat]

60. Just what every music fan/homeowner should have.

[MrScorpio]

41. Where in Asia is that

Bet you can't guess how I know that it's Asia

[texas1928]

42. Well the red things on the floor and speaker have oriental writing.

But as where it is, beats the everliving piss out of me.

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

43. Fuck that is a sound system

[texas1928]

44. Hey

How you doing?

Good I hope.

Yes that is a HUGE ASS SYSTEM!!!

and my wife said NO.

[KitchenWitch]

45. I would think your city planner would say no as well

I am well! :D

[derby378]

46. Hardcore techno will sound so sweeeeeeet...

Lenny Dee, take me away!

[texas1928]

47. Those things would make so you don't hear anything.

seriously.

[Hugin]

48. It's useless!

There's no gigantic volume knob!

[youspeakmylanguage]

49. Perfect for a modern remake of "A Clockwork Orange"

I can just see those monsters belting out the 9th Symphony, Fourth movement by Alex's hospital bed now!

[bertha katzenengel]

50. Reminds me of the opening scene in "Back to the Future"

"Whoa."

[Lilyhoney]

52. I would let my husband have them.

He has a good understanding of the eardrum and it's importance. I think he would be careful.

Besides, it would really make our 14inch television seem alot bigger.

[MN ChimpH8R]

54. I see

Hovland, Theta, Avant Garde Trios with Bass Horns but am blanking on the outboard boxes and the monoblock amps. Love those Grand Prix Audio stands - I use them myself.

Can you enlighten, Tex?

[texas1928]

61. I could not tell you.

I just thought it was funny my wife saw the pic and said NO.

[BikeWriter]

55. SHIT, TEX. I ALREADY HAVE SEVERE HEARING LOSS!

Or so the VA doctor says. Those things look scary!

[MN ChimpH8R]

58. The point of a mega-system

is to capture subtlety as much as it is to play loud. I am an audio reviewer for a well-known High End magazine and have had a lot of experience with similar though not identical equipment. Not as cool as being a writer for a wine or sports-car mag, but it's pretty farkin neat to play with toys and get paid for it.

[MN ChimpH8R]

59. More fun toys

The Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria



The VTL Siegfried tube amplifiers (800 watts per channel) and TL-7.5 Reference Preamplifier





SOTA Millennia turntable


Audio Aero Premier Reference SACD player

[BikeWriter]

62. I would love to hear them. I can still hear bass. :-)

[MN ChimpH8R]

63. Then you'd love the Alexandrias

They go down to about 15 Hz.

[BikeWriter]

64. My hearng loss is severe in the upper ranges...

and I have tinitus that overrides a lot of sounds. My hearing is basically fucked.
