Speaker Fetish


I don't know if I am alone or not but I like speakers. I have a pair and am not looking to replace them but I find myself drawn to looking into new speakers all of the time. I don't know if I should go to a shrink or is this normal? Any coments? DO I NEED HELP?????

The logic, was the reference to speakers affecting the sound more that anything else. BTW; If one has two "things", does one need two babes;joined at the hip?
Yea,you guys are both sick;Jeez,get help before it's to late. I have a Jadis 7mk4 and it works just fine. I bought a CJ5 to see how it sounds. Now My Aerial 10Ts; don't know what I'm gonna do/ I would like a pair of them there Halles Transcendense 8's. I'm sure we can get group rates.
Think of this as a "roast". I tried hard to offend everyone. Some of you just made it tooooo easy for me.
I worked the thread starting backwards.BTW,this is how I live my life,.I hope it shows!!

Garfish:......You and Bob joined at the hip?? I mean how many cd players does it take? No that's not the begining of a "Polish" joke. Amps and power?;Ya been sticking your tongue in the receptical long?
Bob_ bundas:.....Joe Walsh? What were you doing in the early 70's? Didn't you mom tell you not to attach yourself to people like that? You must have done more "smoke" than him. With 3 rigs;your probably 1 rig short of an erector set.
Tireguy:...Your doll got a date for Fri.? Blowup dolls "AND" audio problems?I never said a thing;I'm sure you know a vented port has fewer complications...?
Cardinal:....Get your own doll!!Leave Tireguy alone!! & NO!!,he doesn't know what you mean.
Cornfedboy:....What's this compulsion with "software- hardware"? Gotta make up your mind/soon.Yes, all that "unopened" is a problem.We just don't like to use the "crazy" word around here.
Tireguy:...Again?....You may have a problem with one step/ don't lets get to many steps ahead of ourselves.
Briwire:...Yes;you can join in the group rate,if we can find somebody "crazy" enough to take us.(ssshhh)
Tireguy: again,again. Yes you are alone. You been watching to many movies like ET,Starman,Close Encounters,and the like.Beam this boy up,Scotti.
Elizabeth:....Visions of granduer;another one!!Get those big speakers soon,and a new pair of eyes. "life is short;eat your desert first".
Darrell:... "mmm" In addition to audio problems;wha'sup with the "ribons" and "different toys"?We may have to take you first.
Zootallures:.....Have you hugged yourB&Ws today?? Knock it off; get a life!! Yes, you can help yourself. Well maybe not but that's what we're here for.
Ohlala:....Kock it off with the "candy" references. This is an audio site!! Same with the "Exorcist" reference.
No_money:....Just admitting you have a problem is the first step/ wish I could say you were in good company. I've read all these posts; It just isn't so.Lets just say you have "lots" of company.
Sean:... Yes, you are alone...Are you home? And if that's "all" you can say/ lucky for us.
Gjrad:....Got a disease?? "kool" /don't you know what smoking does? How long before the place looks like a store?
Pcc:...Yes, there are a lot of women we don't know about;...Didn't yer mom tell you about them? Your post reads like an instruction book on " Choosing a wife""home auditions" "finding a speaker you can be happy with" "different amps with pre amps" the right speaker/or buy some you can be happy with?"Are we on the same page??For the group rate your share will be Xs 10. / Very ill.
Rhljazz:....Your coming out of the closet..This is a good thing /Oh, I reread,/ your stuff is in the closet.You should do the Green Mt.Diamantes more often.
avguygeorge:..... Got any friends left?? Not after this,I would suspect.
Mattman:.....How would any of us know what normal is? Just what is it you do with amps? With the prior references to blowup dolls / thats ok,you're among friends.
Tireguy:..... The instigatior!! "I like speakers?" "Drawn into looking"---"all the time?""Do I need help?".....If you have to ask; of course you do.....Nice ride! Dunlaps/ or Bridgestones?
Th, Th, Th,Thats all folks.Anyone who read all this; Bib,Big discount.
Jayboard:....You think we're all from Oklahoma,or sompen? That $100,000 I sent to Tammy Baker didn't help "me" much.You're shucking me ;right?? "Compassionate nature" ; my butt." "I do not have the dreaded disease " When you got it; it blocks your ability to see it .Get out of the closet /or take off the "rose" colored glasses!!!
Thanks,Pcc just gave me an idea. Send me your $$$$;and send your equipment to Jayboard;maybe Jay/IS/bored?This drivel just flows. I do it on the fly,in no time and I'm sure it shows.The quality of drugs you get today just ain't what it used to be. Speaking on this subject : Tireguy,you should think about cutting back on the Viargra.Blowup dolls are great as a part time indulgence; but NOT a full time occupation. Respnding and analyzing is fun.It's just all the time it takes to look up the spelling of the complicated words. Like :BTW,myCJ5s are in 4 an upd8,so yes, a bit bored,thanks for your in-dull-gents.
Pcc:...."I expect to see a thread on your new adventures with the doll".??..... No, I don't kiss and tell(the sign of a true gentleman). Of course;you wouldn't know about that,now woodja? Just going to have to wait till the video comes out.Tireguy:.... Don't remember you as one of the "box-fetish" control group. This must be an "on -the- fly" excuse so as not to part with Ms Rightnow. BTW : I find the sheep to be a bit, "less- critical". The last doll I had; in the middle of a passionate moment, I bit her on the neck,she got angry and flew out the window / hissing loudly!!..... Now you probably understand my need for "less- critical".... Listen,I can see this is just a ruse, to cover up your "audi-neurosis". Lets see the money/so we can get to the "real" work that has to done.With enough money you all can be helped. (hopefully,but not to be construed as an absolute guarantee) Tireguy: "lots" of money would more applicable/time payments/with good credit.And that's all the credit I'll give you. The doll/sheep will come in a plain brown wrapper/I expect!!
You guys all know how it is ;just after reading a great review;you imagination starts cooking. Well, one of the comercials on site, gave me an idea. Forget about Ms. Rtnw/ or sheepish "Shirley".....(yes she has a name already) Tireguy;you ever had a "crash test dummy" modified?? Seems like they would expect it "rough". You know; I used to have some (limited)semblance of normality till started hanging with you guys.
Ok guys, you want to get serious huh?? Sorry,don't know how.I was hoping to find info on that CTD dummy modification. Some one said Sig. Freud said there is no such thing as "merely" a joke. Ok on to audio. Now we find our resident Psychologist is a worst case offender. I have boxes in 3 dif. rooms.Stacked to the celing in one. I have2 boxes that are 30 years old.Yup still have the product that came in them. According to some of, you the boxes may be worth more than what came in them.At least sutible for a home, away from home.
What cha got? Me, got Aerial 10 Ts, CJ premier 5s also a Jadis 7mk 4,CAT 3, Theta Gen5a with the 24/96 mod;Purcell upsampler, Theta data 3, VPI 4 table rb 300 arm,glider, A sansui "tuna"at least 10k in cables Synergetic-the A.S."box"their dig links ics and speaker wire.(at least 8k in cables I don't use)Power cords: k.cobra,top gunn,2 sy research ref ones,Aural symphonics(2).(and more)

The "vid" part of avguy: Pioneer elite rr projection 60 incher.

Oh yeh,there's more but it's small stuff and all must be bored to tears.
Pcc.... Wrong about the "look out the window" / Don't have a window that faces the street.As an apt dweller my window overlooks the dumpsters.I paid extra for that;and it's well worth it. As far as the UPS driver goes;I have this remote activated tire strip, the cops use, for the UPS guy.
Look,you guys were already cracked up;don't go giving me credit for that.You "audiophiles"are a weird bunch. I may have to open up global franchises. I can hear the cash register "ringing" in 27 foreign languages. Dekay:....I know listeners' preference dictates "room treatments";and YES,"a rubber room" will just about eliminate "slap-echo", within the room.I get a certian am't of that, within my head;.....any sugestions?
Vegasears:...... You are blessed;indeed,having married a woman of "vision". Oh,and don't send those speakers, boxes,etc off. As I see it the "un-complicated" "solution" would be to just buy the house next door. There,there,now;That was probably easier than you thought it was going to be.....? The Dr. is in:>> Treatments for the mind,soul,your overall well being;and,or, your room whichever is in the greatest of need.
