The LS3/5a never claimed to be a full range monitor. It was designed for
broadcast use where space was at a premium. However, add a sub and it does
give the full range without filling the room with woodwork.


Says it all - for how long now has sound quality has been sacrificed for
'WAF' with speakers? (Why bother with a pipe organ when you can get a dinky
little Yamaha...??)


Are you actually surpised a large speaker gives better bass?


Lowthers don't do 'pistonic bass' either but they can do nice, clear low
notes - if you want unrealistic music (or realistic explosions) you will
need a sub with Lowthers also...



However, those Lowthers also have a pretty horrid top end - as does any
other MC speaker of that size when you try and take it above about 4 kHz.

(Talking of 'Pinkies' - where's he gone? Was that just a little
involuntary *finger squirt* or summat? :-)

Dunno.


Queer that - I hook the ng up for the first time in over a year and there's
a post from him right before my eyes!!

Then nothing!?



You're just confirming you like a coloured sound - but then we knew that.


Yep, nothing changes....



(Btw, what happened to the 'Ay oop, Plowie - how're ya keeping? :-)'
bit, Plowie? Is it a *secret* or do you simply not care to say?? :-)

You're interested in the state of my health? Or something else?


Oo-er, what do you mean? Just your general well-being is all...


I'm fine thank you.


Good. Delighted to hear it. I'm on about Day 112 of giving up smoking; I've
been better....



But how about you? After flouncing off from here saying you had better
things to do? What's changed?


Did I flounce? I don't remember....

We dropped Pipex a while back and went over to ADSL24 and for a long time
there was no sign of a newsfeed (turns out to be Entanet or summat) but,
after about the 20th fruitless attempt on my part, Swim handed me the
details the other evening. I wanted digital photography newsgroups as I have
subscribed to a couple of 'international' dp forums recently and I can't
stand them - I don't like the way the newly-confident Eurotrash treats Brit
posters and I don't like the sucky-up Brits who are trying (far too fakkn'
hard IMO) to get 'in'...!!

Anyway, I soon found the dp newsgroups aren't a lot of cop either and then
got the idea to look in here to see who was about - if anybody, as I've had
one or two people tell me it's been very quiet!

So....

I thought I'd lob a rock or two into the water here to see what wuz what!
