    FM is really an unpredicted event, explained in the aviation world by subsequent investigation, analysis, measurement and testing. This of course does not always happen with AM(Audio Magic).
    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    And I always thought it meant amplitude modulation

    They're manufacturers, so naturally going to CYA themselves against a fairly long round trip between amp, speaker, but nothing's going to change the fact that basic wire size is a function of 'x' voltage drop over distance, consequently its dB equivalent, ergo once it's below the human hearing perception threshold, any lower serves no purpose and if you go too far below, then other distortions from increased inductance can actually make it audibly worse, though been known to be perceived as an improvement, which isn't the same as more accurately reproducing the signal.

    I don't mind people sharing opposing views, but I don't allow personal attacks, and everyone knows it.

    I am deleting or editing posts that have such characteristics. While some may call it censorship, it's my board and those are my rules (I don't have many), and, when I get a lot of complaints, it's time to take action, much as I hate to.

    Our forum is too helpful and people like you are too valuable to let one or two ruin it.

    My memory's bad enough I forget what all I posted WRT that, but WRT to him, no apology required, it was mostly on the HE forum and the horn one Mr. PiAlign had till he closed it down sometime after going 'toe to toe' with Danley. Frankly, don't remember hardly anything from him here, but I've had long absences from here, so could have just missed him.

    Here, it was some folks who long ago took issue with the way I post that's not particularly friendly to an international audience, though FWIW I'd already polled some foreigners from various countries on other forums and they all either claimed knowing more than enough English and Southern slang to follow except for the occasional technical jargon. Some even asked I continue as they enjoyed knowing such arcane lingo/trivia.

    My fave was one guy in Norway sent me a CD of a local 'Southern Rock' Band with them singing in English and again in Norwegian and honest to God they would fit right in at the 'redneck'/hillbilly/trucker bar just down the road and none would be the wiser! It's really depressing that many foreigners read, speak, write, English better than Americans born n' bred. Our 'leave no child behind' educational system needs to go the way of the Dodo bird.

    Todd so sorry for the delay as I said in my PM I have been working long hours and haven't had much time to go online... In that regard would like to Apologize to our members for not seeing this sooner.. I have BANNED LowOhms from our board ! We will not tolerate attacks on anyone ! Difference of opinion is fine ! Personal attacks are NOT !

    Re: OT Crossover Wiring

    I think that's sad. I found him entertaining.
    And you certainly can't say he wasn't enthusiastic about his hobby and of course his A7's.

    I've been on this forum longer than my join date would indicate (lost my login credentials and had to change my name) and have been on many car forums etc.
    I learned long ago not to get into pissing matches whit someone you disagree with. It's just pointless.

    BTW, I tried the 12ga silver plated wire he mentioned.
    It was a pain in the ass to work with, but I like the results.

    Most people do not have a willingness to think out of the box.

    Just the way things are here on this planet.

    For this moment anyway ...

    As far as wire goes, most on this forum,

    Understand , capacitance, inductance,

    Resistance.

    There is however more to , how wires 'sound',

    Than those three things.

    The magnetic field that is created, whenever a signal

    Is applied, is also, and more important than the vast

    Majority of humanity are able to understand.

    So one person's 'facts', may very well

    Be of limited value...


    Jeff however is relentless in experimentation,

    Altho his personality has a few rough edges,

    That would be true for most people.

    Some manage to keep their head on better than others.

    This being a maturity issue...
    guns kill people,

    like spoons made rush limbaugh,

    fat ....

    Re: OT Crossover Wiring/LowOhms

    Well, I talked with LowOhms at length, and he apologized for his behavior, and promised to behave from now on. However, I didn't have a chance to communicate that to my helper, AltecBest, and he banned LowOhms, because that's what I originally planned to do before he contacted me and apologized.

    Therefore, I think it only right to reinstate LowOhms, on the proviso that he not smart off at people or speak condescendingly to others, and this will be done shortly.

    I hope everyone understands my reasoning on this - everyone deserves a second chance, especially if they've apologized and promised not to do it again.

    Re: OT Crossover Wiring

    AB you must be working very HARD good for you!!! I have read so many of your posts, I think you may have jumped the gun on this one a little. No big deal of course! I like Lowohms passion love the idea of trying any crazy idea to get more out of his and suggestions for our Altecs... LOWOHMS STICK AROUND!!!!
