Hi Mark Johns, or vise versa...Exactamindo! John Atkinson I apologize for my wise crack about the Primaluna. You mentioned it in detail and I missed that. I am guilty of only reading the conclusions. Gary, I never learned or had to type. I don't know how to indent for a paragraph. Will you give me a lesson if you have the time, Here's my e-mail (kordamark@gmail.com).Thanks Gary. I don't know how to use the spell check either. I'm using my grand fathers dictionary by my computer, signed 1951. Now here is where I'd like to make a paragraph......A few questions to John Atkinson. On the YG Carmel. Why were you giving such exact,to the inches, room position. We out here don't know the exact geometric area or what kind of furniture you have in your room. I have milk crates for shelves and wire rope spindals for coffie tables and a real old futon. Will those specified measurements work in my room? Is a 24 grand speaker system supposed to be weak in the 40hz region? I know the Carmel is made out of aluminum but it looks very familar to a DIY Frugal Horn which can be made with a sheet of plywood from Home Depot. The innards should be shown for that kind of money like Magico does. Frugals do use a co-ax but I've seen other 2 way set ups used. What stipulates a woofer (break in). Once it's broken in when does it start to go down hill, or does a woofer just keep improving until the day it dies?...If a tweeter blew out in the Carmel how much cost and effort to get at it would be involved, I never saw the back of the system. Do you take the whole back off? I don't mean to be grumpy but when I get into my Willie Nelson cigarettes it gets my mind wondering...sincerely...Mark Korda

Imagine if no two color TV sets looked alike, everyone different from every other one. Imagine if the color balance changed from one channel to another, one program on the same channel to another. It would drive you crazy trying to make adjustments to get each one right. At least they had adjustments because that's how it really was in the early days of color TV in the US. Only they fixed that engineering problem and now you could theoretically get them to all look pretty much alike at least insofar as color balance, saturation, brightness, and contrast. Unfortunately you can't do the same with hi fi audio systems. They all sound different and even the same equipment sounds different from one place to another. So where does that leave you? Perhaps that explains why so many audiophiles are constantly shopping and swapping. Something is always wrong. Expensive habit.

No problem. I just wanted to make sure inmates knew that I did identify
the tubed amplifier, that I wasn't trying to hide anything.

I have written about my room several times in the magazine. You can see
photos at the link below. (Scroll down to the third row of images.)

Not if your room is very different from mine.

It shouldn't be. But with the right amplifier and music that doesn't go
low in frequency - as I say in the review, bass guitar and kick drum have
the bulk of their energy higher than 40Hz - while the Carmel 2 doesn't
have any low-bass output, it can sound convincing.

Exactamindo!
ohn Atkinson I apologize for my wise crack about the Primaluna. You mentioned it in detail and I missed that. I am guilty of only reading the conclusions. Gary, I never learned or had to type.
