    I actualy only have obsessive compulsive disorder, turrets disorder, and anxiety. The OCD is the strongest I have. I do take meds for it to help like risperdal for my turrets and zoloft for my OCD.


    But why do you guys really care??? It seems like you guys are making it a big deal.

    Btw I did find out that the speakers I got was a special order item so they will get them next tuesday and then ship them the same day to me. Because it will take a while to get them I decided and paid extra for a 3 day UPS shipment instead of UPS ground that takes 5 days.


    So the total price comes up to $216.80 with 3 day UPS shipping.

    Spanky, the fact that you have OCD and anxiety explains a lot about your obsession with Sony and JBL and they fact that you really don't take any of our advice. So don't take it personal. I won't poke fun at you any more because you can't help the way you are. It just gives us a better understanding about where you are coming from.

    However, your posts are bordering on the ridiculous, because you say the same thing over and over and keep asking the same thing over and over again without even listening to any of our suggestions. I respect the fact that you value your fathers opinion of JBL, so why do you continue to ask the people on this forum their opinion of JBL and Sony when we clearly have stated that they are junk and that there are better brands out there?. The answer is that you have OCD!

    Well the fact is that I really like the sounds of the JBL speakers and the Sonys. I' am not saying this because to annoy you guys but I like the sounds of them. I thought what was most important is what sound you like to hear? But I did also say on one of my posts that I will give a chance and just listen to other speakers and I have listened to the Energy speakers but didn't like them as much. But that's me of cource maybe you like them more. But maybe in the future as I listen to more kinds of speakers I might like them more than the Studio Series from JBL or I might still like the Sonys or JBL the most even 10 years from now. It all depends. But when I was to find out about certain speakers I' am interested in I just want to know the ones I asked for. If I asked something like I want to know what is the best rated speakers then you guys can say example Paradigm or whatever but when I just ask certain kinds I just want to know the two I' am compairing.

    That would be can. Here's a third octave response of them in the garage environment. Yeah, there are a couple of room mode peaks.

    The ability to reproduce first octave bass was one of Henry Kloss' design criteria and his brochures specifically mentioned a recording that contained true 30 hz content:

    Pretty impressive for a sealed design!

    The reason I asked is because you used 'even' or another such word in the beginning of your phrase which left to presume that perhaps even the Advents couldn't reach that low, let alone a speaker with 3" drivers.

    Remember that Kloss was there in the dawn of the acoustic suspension era at AR in the early 50s. While ported designs are more popular today, many find sealed designs more desirable because of their more gradual response roll off.

    I see your point. I was referring to the fact that these speakers are thirty years old and still considerably outperform many modern speakers in that regard.

    What are you guys talking about when you said it can? Is this about the speakers I' am talking about?

    Sorry, Spanky. The question was about double Advents. They can cleanly reproduce a 32 hz note which is about an octave below that of the Sonys.

    SVI,

    OK, 3 pages about little plastic speakers is about enough. We also don't care about your personal sexual preferences, when you met or divorced your boyfriend. Please stick to the topic, and take the advise seriously.

    What I am most confused about is that your first post stated that you were using a receiver. Later on, you talk about buying Sony computer speakers. Haven't we been through all the computer speakers available and all agreed most were junk?

    There are SO MANY GOOD speakers on the market by reputable, non mass marked companies, that you need to start thinking outside your little box. Little plastic speakers produce little plastic sound.

    You could buy a pair of Athena LS-50 speakers for $80 that would sound better than the JBLs or Sony crap.

    It has already been advised that you look at some of the signatures in posts to see what people use and research some of those brands. Why is that so difficult? You have posted so many times without saying anything different. All the time you have spent doing so could have been used to do some of your own research.

    Everyone around here has been very patient and has tried to help you out but it's like talking to a dead cat, nothing going on in there!

    Hahahahha, now that's the sound of a frustrated man! Even busted out the dead cat!! That's reserved for only the utmost severity of frustration.

    I think everyone's tried it Hyfi, but to no avail. I have backed off after hearing about OCD and whatever other problems exist. It certainly would explain alot.

    Good try though my man, I know where you're coming from.

    We have been here before, if you check out the archives. That is why I never chimed in. But, when I saw 3 pages of self posting with blinders on, I just had to add my thoughts.

    Ok now you guys are getting silly but since I guess I already made me choice and got the Sonys theres really no need to post anymore on this topic until in the future when I want different speakers then I can ask you guys again for help. Also that is if I find something I like more than the JBLs or the Sonys I have. But as I said I will audition many speakers and then I might find something I like more than the Sonys I have. But this all depends if I like something better than the Sonys since as you guys said that what matters most is the sound I like to hear and enjoy. :)
