WAF - they don't know how lucky they are...

There seems to be a lot of talk of speakers having to be wife friendly these days.

Time to bite back methinks.

I came across this picture just now - I say show this to the ladies to illustrate how lucky they are:



:MILD:

Matt.

 

What, no ****?

 

what the hell are these? something like townsends or avalons? gross

 

No they are JJs lumley lampros speakers. Horrible things.

 

Dire is a good word, they take musical disassembly to a new dimension

 

I don't know about the speakers,but those curtains in the corner are horrid

 

It's one feckin' expensive 'system' too - all that Boulder / Spectral kit. More money than taste, obviously

 

come on tone the soundstage from them when we heard them was amazing. yes they weren;t the most 'musical' speakers around but for someone like graham or other classical buffs then they would be perfect.
f*ck women.
cheers

That's the general idea

 

exactly...

 

but you wouldn't be if Mrs Robbo came home and found a pair of them either side of the fireplace, no you'd be sleeping in yer merc mate.

 

He does anyway AK

Whilst he's waiting for his clients' flight to land

 

Maybe Michael could add the M word to the bad language filter

Edit: That one's above my head Merlin

 

Who was looking for chesters Jack lawson has a pair for sale 9 years old £350, not suere if deal good or bad, but anyone wanting them I could pop over and listen to them if you want. http://www.hi-fishop.com/

 

That would be me, but I've bought some shite American speakers now.

Why the assumption that classical fans wouldn't want musical

 

Oh dear. I actually quite like them. :newbie:

 

Merlin,

Have you had any famous clients at your salon recently for a new hairstyle?

 

lordsummit,
what i mean is that they don't seem to like moderm music like rock and dance - although for different reasons.
with dance / electronica they are a bit too clinical and slow when things get complex. - does classical get into the 130+ bpm's?
with rock it gives you a larger than life image of the band like giants are playing huge instruments.
with classical the soundstage is filled by the orchestra.
tony had a deep purple(?) goes classical cd that we listened to. the rock band intro's were overblown and very unrealistic, however the orchestral parts were amazing (and i'm not a big classical fan). this is why i say that the lampros 1000's (or whatever they are) are more suited to classical than contemporary music.
cheers

Remember Robbo, better to be a hairdresser than to be at their beck and call

YO TAXI!

 

How on earth would you know that Julian? Have you heard Deep Purple playing at the RAH? Were you there? WM wouldn't know realism if it called at his door in the shape of the repo man!

BTW, hows the AS? Was listening to one last night with a view to buying. Way too "hifi" for me
