I havent actually read this thread, but what are we discussing?

Keep them spinning,

You guys keep telling him that his speakers don't go up as high as they claim they do -- I think that's the wrong response. The speakers might very well go up that high. They just sound like carp within that frequency range. There is no spec for "carplike". If there was, I think those tiny Sony's and JBL's would be up there.
-
Whow he bought new speakers :-) Grats man

Absolutely...

...while back there were all those ceramic and piezo tweets that could do that...of course they sound like an un-oiled band saw cutting through a squirming pig...

I built a pair of speakers with piezo tweeters back in the 70's. After about 20 minutes I pulled them apart to start over. Like nails on a chalk board.

what are piezo tweeters good for?
I had a pair of radioshack many years ago... and they really helped the highs, but had a horrible hissing sound often...

They are good at looking great on a spec sheet. They go very high but sound awful. That's why they cost 0.65 each.
-
Piezo and Sony, wow I can't wait to buy some. I love a forum format butttt honestly how aweful can life truly be to sit here and join in and not only reply once but multiple times in one thread. I can think of a different kind of multiple that would be allot more fun, and I don't mean vitamin's either. LOL
Have a better life and be sure and buy Sony.....NOT :sleep:

Yeah but they are sooo crips and soo claer they sound just like studidio monitors that costed over $120 that they use in suditidos because they souund so lifelike and clear. The man at Best Buy said they are maid like spakears costed lots more because they have yello woffers.

rofl!
maybe I'll have to bring him myself, but once in his life,
SVI WILL VISIT A HIGH END SHOP!

Piezo tweeter technology has come a looooong way since then. Gallo uses a cylindrical (sp?) piezo tweeter on their Ref3 and there's another hi-end manufacturer out there using them as well, although the name escapes me at the moment.

Do you know if they use a resistor in parallel? I've heard that this can help tame them. I put 2 piezo's in series with each other, that were in parallel with a soft dome. I still had to pull them out and snip the wires.

Dude, we tried this already, visit the "Lets help SVI" thread...
we'll all go over to his house and drag him kicking and screaming into a high end show and watch him start crying when he hears his first pair of hifi speakers... *sniff*
-
I'm not going anywhere near his house. If all this other stuff wasn't enough, the fact that he still has his cat's litterbox by his bed scares the bejesus out of me. His cat died 2 years ago. I guess the litterbox is some kind of 'turd vigil' for the cat or something.
-
Ahh actualy the litterbox is gone a LONG time agao. LOL

If you had a choice for
A. Wilson Audio Alexandria
B. Sonys Top of the line bookshelf
what would you choose?

The Sony's have yellow woffer cones so they sound like speakers that costed close to $150 and the poly lanimate done tweeter is sooo smooth and percise that it sounds like studidio monitors and the man at Best buy said they don't sell those other speakers speakers so they aren't good like $79 JBL's are good.

Room Lenses, break up the first reflection points and absorb resonances. Works great!

Same discussion we always have. These systems are not build with a budget or WAF in mind. They are build to take a stab at the state of the art. Noone in this priceclass give a **** about value for the dollor or WAF.

no durh!?
If it came down to those speakers and another pair though that I thought performed similarly though, I'd chose the other pair. That's all :)

damn, that lighting's gotta be hell on those reflection points! :P

Trees with holes in 'em?
Spanky's got a tin ear...no big deal. If he's happy with the Sony's, then so be it.

I'll put my optimus againts his sony
I have $0.23 saying my optimus are better
-
@Rock789
What are my odds on this? i've got $1000 ready
-
rofl,
but seriously, I am impressed with my optimus xts-10,
for $30 some 10 years ago, when compared to my vr-1's, for the money, I wish I didn't get the vr-1's and should have hooked the optimus up first...
are the vr-1's better, heck ya, but for 20x the price, I should have saved the money and stuck with my optimus...
( got them out of storage after I purchased the vr-1's)

bose 501's [anybody care]?
1st of all I have to apologise to the caretakers of this great forum for not using it as much as I should. [I took the reminder of my tardiness seriously folks!]
I guess I'm taking the time now to respond or pose a reply[?] to anybody that posted
any info regarding Bose 501's[Series- I dunno] I've recently turned to them for my analog
vinyl playback as I consider them a "Rock n Roll" more 'forgiving' listening speaker than the Paragon towers I use for CD/digital/DVD etc. for the crispness they[Paragons] produce which in a environment of 600+ LP's with varying degrees of LP condition is less nerve wracking - vis-a-vis-pops,crackles they seem to exagerate - ergo my opinion on the 501's as more 'forgiving'.
Now, I'll have to explain that I do not consider myself as a expert/audiophile by any means, and frankly, economic considerations figure predominatly in this. I've always craved a set of 901's since the mid '70's when I 1st lheard and was aware of their phenominaly sound and power handling capabilities. I recently acquired the 501s at a low [to me] cost of 350$ Can. in boxes, 2nd hand, and no apparent faults. GREAT! - I figured-at least they were'nt 301s. I realized that in my very small community a set of used 901's was'nt gonna' happen. So I purchashed them and kept them on the 'back shelf' untill circumstances-[ the ill-considered purchase of a replacement Dig./Home Theater main amp with NO phono in?!] made me make one of my more serendipitous acquirements - A older Sansui 'Rack' consisting of the wheeled rack itself with the following components - A TU 317 Tuner, SC 2110 cassette deck and a AU 517 'integrated amp' [Phono IN!] all at what I consider a 'steal' at 200$. O.K. now we're cooking!, as I brought the 501's into play. Anybody still listening?.....
To the 'meat' - Since I've been getting accustomed to hearing the 501's [as configured
with the above factors], I've noticed that they sound rather 'fat'-not quite 'flabby' with yes,- a noticible mid range lack. Not a criticism - especially since 'placement' is probably a big factor in my case....My listening area is approximately the size of a large bathroom! My main '*****' is - why the non-removeable grill covers?!! I don't know if that is 'standard' for all 501's, but in my case, not having a man./schematic and not wanting to perform 'surgery' to orientate myself to the 'lay-out' of idivid. speaker components is probably gonna' add to listening/placement/experiment 'fiddling arround'. Any help or sympathy out there? - [I'm not begging - I'm pleading]! And oh yeah - the addition of stands with 'pointed feet' -[like nails for instance] really do help in sharpening up the bass in my opinion in these. All in all, I'd certainatly love some 901's and because, obviously I hav'nt given these 501's a proper stage, I'll give these a 6 on a 10 scale [1 added because of the above caveat]. Whew! - I think I've made up for lack of participation vis-a -vis:17: hints - EH?!
