Magnaplanar speakers are magnetic?

Do you have a link?

I have a buddy that owns a set of Electrostatics, amazing sound - or lack of sound! Very transparent, only weakness is the low end.

YOU OWE ME A KEYBOARD!!

must go down in FR classic history.<>Gotta watch those chow breaks.

Hey, I thought I left 5 posts ago . . .

Did her hair really look like that, or did you doctor it?!

Last week, someone described her hair-doo as "Prison B*tch" hair-doo.

I don't know about the magnetic part. Will have to dig out the brochure from the 90's. I have two sets (one black, one natural)and am thinking about putting them on eBay. They have what they call "holographic sound" which projects the sound between the speakers. They're huge. You're right about the low end; and the "butterfly wing" tweeters have to be protected.

just why did the Chicks Cross the Road?

To get away from the Country Music awards before someone saw them???

You know why the turtle crossed the road? To get to the shelllll station, argh, argh:o)

Okay, okay, one more:

Why was the bycycle leaning on the kick-stand? Because it was two tired (Yawnnnnn). Get it? It was too tired...two tired, argh, argh:o)

Garth Brooks had another song with the same theme.

In this one, the singer is the child of a truck driver who has an attractive unfaithful wife. He finds her cheating in a hotel and runs his semi smack into the room, killing her.

It has a very upbeat rythum.

If I remember correctly, the stanza goes:

Daddy loved Momma,
Momma loved men.
Momma's in the graveyard,
Daddy's in the pen.

I keep my monitor and keyboard covered with clear plastic. It's kind of like a Gallagher concert. I don't think I've gotten on a serious thread today. It's very relaxing.

Question: What do you get when you cross a Gephardt with a potato?

Answer: a Dictater. Argh, argh. Get it? (think about his first name).

[CyberCowboy777]

A mag-planar speaker is where you have a long magnetic "ribbon" instead of a single-magnet driver. It's basically a cross between a dynamic and electrostatic speaker; it's the principle of an electrostatic speaker but using traditional electromagnetic, rather than electrostatic, force in order to vibrate the driver.

They are supposed to have the response range of electrostatics but the "inertial filtering" of dynamics. I doubt they hold the same near-flat response curve above 200Hz, but I have not heard them.

If you put them up for sale let me know, I might be interested.

I could make a "Last Boy Scout" one liner right now, but I'd get suspended by Admin Mod. It's tempting.

[Nea Wood]

That joke would apply to Gephardt regardless of what his first name was. :-)

[sarasota]

Will do. I think I even have the receipt. Have no idea what they'd be worth now but let me know if you have a price in mind. Would save me a trip to eBay; never been there myself.

[Conspiracy Guy]

What have we all missed as we played with the Pixie Twits? I can't help but feel guilty that I have been goofing off while serious posts are probably everywhere. I would go look but I've been having too much fun.

[CyberCowboy777]

What are you driving them with?

Do you have pics you could post or email?

I could look around and see what the value is on them, but I need a model number and condition.

Another groaner:

What did the mommy tomato say to the baby tomato as they were walking?

"Hurry, son, and... ketchup".

Oh well, you're probably so disgusted that one more won't matter:

Question: What do you get when you cross a rabbit with an anasthesiologist (sic?)?

Answer: An Ether Bunny!

Oh, come on, be daring:o)

[Conspiracy Guy]

Give us a little credit. What do you get if you cross a democrat with a pig? Nothing, Pigs have standards.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Somebody take Tame's keyboard.

Arghhhhhh! HEE HEE HEE HEE:o)
