Hi Tom,
The guy at CH Audio rebuilds old ALTEC compression drivers into field coil drivers.
Have you ever heard his speakers? Did anything about the tweeters jump out at you? I would like to hear them.
Thanks.
I wonder how Kedar's listening session went.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!

Jamie I've never made it down there. I take very heavy-duty pain-killers, muscle-relaxers and nerve pain meds daily. Because of that I don't like driving very far unaccompanied ---{ in fact I usually tag along with others and pay for their gas in such cases }--- and I haven't found anyone willing to take that 237 mile, 3.5 to 4 hour drive, just to go listen to the CH Audio Sculptor speakers... But I really wished I could hear them someday!

Hi Tom,
I'm very sorry you have the need for heavy pain killers.
Look at it this way, There are a lot worse ways to spend your life than listening to beutiful music on a top notch stereo while doing heavy drugs. Just think of the poor people in Syria.
Tom, if I ever go for a listen to CH audio I'll pick you up on the way. That's a promise. You can pay for the gas, and buy lunch! And I can listen to those cool looking backloaded single driver horns of yours. So many audio possibilities, and not enough money or time.

Jamie,
As an ex-missionary my heart truly breaks primarily for my Syrian Christian brothers & sisters in Christ, who not only have to suffer through all the same horrible consequences of the various middle-eastern wars & battles, their fellow Syrian citizens suffer through! But even worse and on top of all that, these poor people have to suffer watching the beatings & beheadings of their husbands & children ---{ if they refuse to deny Christ and become Muslim }--- and then they're repeatedly raped before also being beaten & beheaded themselves.
The Voice of the Martyrs, a Christian organization, has a free DVD they're giving away called: " Liena's Prayer " It's about the story of a Christian woman named Liena who tells about the persecution she witnessed taking place to the Christian's in her village at the hands of wacked out terrorists who commit these terrible atrocities in the name of Islam & Allah! I don't wish to go into too much detail here ---{ for any who are interested, the link below contains the complete video, which tells Liena's entire story }--- because this is an audio site and it wouldn't be appropriate to do that here.
As far as my paying for the gas, and lunch "if" you pick me up to go visit CH Audio someday. Consider that a done deal! When we come back we can most certainly listen to the Sachiko's with their treated cones Dayton PS220-8 single drivers & Fostex T900a super-tweeters crossed in between 8Khz to 10Khz! And just so we can sit and listen at leisure for as long as we so choose to. You'd be welcome to spend the night in my spare bedroom. That way you wouldn't have to drive too long after you leave or check into a hotel/motel when you do.
I really enjoy meeting friends from forums via listening sessions at my home. It's a great learning experience for me because I have people over who:
1) don't really know me.
2) probably won't ever see me again.
3) have no reason to " pull punches " about what they honestly believe the system's pluses & minuses are.
Most people ask me; "How do you know if they're telling you the truth?" Well I believe reason's 1 & 2 up above covers that area. But if you're one of those you thinks ---{ as guests in my home they're just being polite }--- I believe that # 3 takes care of that possibility. Still for those who are still cynical. I've discovered over the years people have no qualms about telling you the truth about your system's sonic pluses. But very few are willing to honestly tell you the truth your system's sonic faults! This is probably because:
1) they don't want to hurt your feelings in your own home.
2) they don't know if you'll get insulted or even angry and throw them out!
I've often wondered who these people think they're fooling? After all who knows the sound of my system any more intimately than I do? So do they honestly believe I don't know what my system's weak areas are? But as I said it's a great learning experience for me, because I learn a lot about the people who visit by how honestly they'll tell me what they hear my system doing right or wrong. Those who answer these questions honestly are people whose opinions I know I can honestly trust in other areas of as well...

Hi Tom,
We both know the types of things that are going to happen before the end of the current age. We know because we have been told beforehand. But if this age ends, then a new one can begin, and we can look forward to that age with great hope.
Linked below is VICE NEWS. They make the best documentaries. Check out "Inside ISIS," and then watch some of the linked videos like "Ghosts of Aleppo." You won't see it anywhere else.
I enjoy meeting other audiophiles too, as they are pretty slim in my neck of the woods. It's always the best part of going to shows. At RMAF I found a few rooms I liked, but met a lot of people I liked, had many great conversations, and learned a great deal. I wish AXPONA would come back to Jax. Had fun there too.
There is nothing wrong with letting a fresh pair of ears hear your system. It can be informative, especially if the person has any kind of good taste, or just loves music.
Thanks for the invite. I'll keep it tucked away. The last time I almost went to Orlando was for an Edison cylinder player show. Now that's a horn system! Pretty loud for 0.00mv. Talk about a toy for horn boys.
