I actually took this one myself in Topanga CA just the other day - you can’t make this stuff up....
There's a little strip mall on the cheesy side of West Lebanon, NH with a head shop (also featuring, shall we say, adult novelties) at one end and a Planned Parenthood center at the other. Seems like either a really good combination or a really poor one -- I still can't decide.
Recent surround foam replacing. I kind-of like bringing speakers back to life now.
Mr. Paul's first attempt. A little shaky and needed quick corrective assistance on the inner part. He did the outer part 95% on his own. he's 81 now. Never to old to learn something new we say. It's for a Infinity Infinitesimal 10" subwoofer.
AR58s woofer repairs;
Mr. Paul came over and helped me get these ready. I forgot to take the before pics.
I decided to finish them myself last week. I was feeling better after a serious sinus cold.
I've got to say, these ARs have a very clear and pronounced mid and high signature. I feel the bass should be elevated to balance the sound out. These sound brighter than the RTA12b's do.
The sound IS lifelike but damn, my eardrums vibrated at certain high frequencies today. That doesn't happen hardly at all over the years. Tone controls are needed for these unfortunately. But if you're hard of hearing, these are like older Klipsch's, clear and bright.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
Lol yes! Funny though, Chinese architects have been criticized by their citizens, and laughed at, for other recent buildings and structures that resemble distinct parts of the human anatomy!
