Yes but Aphex on stereo is a HORRIBLE idea. DBX has nothing to do with Aphex, but I still ain't gonna put artificial synthesizer stuff on my stereo. Some of us had companders 25 years ago, nothing new there.

What is your point in my reading that article? I already said everything important in it.

You also have to understand Dave Ratt (decent fellow BTW, I have worked with Ratt crews before) is a user not a design engineer.


I don't get a legitimate point from any of your arguments...a lot of info, but nothing coherent?

IMHO, the line array market is saturated. Were Altec to be revived, a line array could be the worst thing to build. It would have to be tremendous, something to make companies dump a product they thought was "good enough" at a loss.

If I had capital and were 15 years younger, and acquired Altec (how's that for a wish list?) I would concentrate on the small box market. A 12'' Duplex isn't much bigger than a Bose, and sounds way better. Altec already has a rep there, build on it instead of going all new.

An Altec array might sound better than JBL, but L-ACOUSTICS does that already, so what's the point?
