Default Hey, Useless Wiecky, where is your apology for being a know-nothing and an abusive bully?

Looks pretty much like the M-9 that's collecting dust in my garage.


But is it as well-constructed as an M-14? :-)


That's not a fair comparison.

For sheer wattage, the M-14 clearly wins. But for close and involving
works, the M-9 is probably a better choice.


Perhaps, but definitely one for the nearfield fan. I'd say the MP-5
has better dispersion.

I've always wanted a chance to experience the overall bass slam of the
L-85. They're hard to come by here but look very interesting. Have you
ever experienced one? What do you think of them?


A little lightweight for me. It can touch you deeply, but seldom
knocks you sideways. For sheer emotional impact I prefer the M-82, if
you really have to reach out and touch someone.

And what do you think
of Scimitars? While they can work well as designed, they're sometimes a
bit too far forward for my tastes. I think careful positioning is
paramount.


I find theleron technology just a little too bass heavy for my
listening room.....
