[quote name='kusee pee' timestamp='1451817541' post='2943574'] Just discovered his work over the Xmas break and wondered if anyone else is into his stuff? Gonna start exploring some Brand X. Some interesting techniques he uses in this series: [media]http://youtu.be/cgUMguYktPE[/media] [/quote] You've a real treat in store - there's lots of extraordinary stuff that he did with Brand X, a good deal more edgy and exuberant than in the example in your original post, IMHO. My favourite albums by them are probably Product and Unorthodox Behaviour, but it's all going to be an eye-opener, frankly. Enjoy!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1450170923' post='2930147'] Being of a generous disposition, I'm going to imagine a virtual smiley face after that speeling misteak. [/quote] And what are conventions, if not to ignore, then gently poke fun at?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1450090677' post='2929406'] Having spent time in close proximity to the education business, about 40 years, these days, a lot of teachers can't spell and don't know their grammar. Last month, in a class taken by a deputy head the kids were asked to come up with rhyming words. One said "smile" and "crocodile". The teacher said "don't be silly that doesn't rhyme"!! True story. I blame league tables for teacher training colleges. Teachers aren't allowed to fail because it's bad for business. [/serious] [/quote] Some teachers had no sense years ago. Never mind grammer. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-town-rejects-solar-panels-amid-fears-they-suck-up-all-the-energy-from-the-sun-a6771526.html

Shame on all of us for reacting like this when we get a whiff of our own long-lost youthful exuberance. We're cynical old gits trying to be our parents. Good luck to them. I fear they'll turn into us soon enough.

Bought a very striking SR5 from Chay, and he was a real gent - excellent communication, bomb-proof packing, and a brand new set of strings thrown in to boot. A pleasure to deal with.

[quote name='nightsun' timestamp='1444983537' post='2887787'] I have the BH800 going through a RS210 & RS212.....monster sound. Great low end, but nice and zingy when I need it. [/quote] Thanks for that, nightsun - I should have mentioned that in the intervening period I tried out a RS210 and RS212, and they were amazingly powerful, but the sound didn't really float my boat. They just seemed to lack a bit of presence, but as I'm used to the ridiculously glassy top end you get from EBS cabs, perhaps my expectations were slightly skewed! I'll definitely be having a look at the K series though...

Incidently, I won't blow our cover online, but we do know each other in real life....

Whaddya gonna give me? It looks just like a Telefunken U-47...

I was just going to say that I rather like the knobs...

I'm not intending to undermine the guy's sale in any way, 'cos £425.92 is still a great price, but I was astonished to see that GAK are currently selling these new for £745! Despite having downsized from an EBS 410 to a TC 210 & 112 recently, I have to admit I'm tempted...

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1437048208' post='2823107'] The blatantly opportunistic cynical pisstaking? J. [/quote] Yup, sounds about right.

No accusation of theft was made by me, I was only ruminating that the quality of the units might possibly be on a par with the "professional quality studio monitors" that I've been offered in service station car parks on more than one occasion by the aforementioned dodgy white van men who were trying to "liquidate excess stock". Allegedly. I must have looked shifty as well, I suppose. Just sayin'...

Anyone tried the new K cabs up against the RS? I'm looking for a compact but loud combination to go with my TC BH800 (currently using an EBS Proline 410, like the body and brightness, hate the weight). It's been suggested I try a RS210 with a RS112, or two RS210s. But the new K210 looks good too. Anybody compared them? Ta.

...but I'm not too sure about this one. WIthout wishing to be in any way disparaging, this looks a bit like the sort of gear that the dodgy geezers who approach you in motorway service stations are trying and flog off... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Joblot-of-Sound-Equipment-Speakers-Amps-Microphones-etc-Resale-Value-20K/131476214828

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436518084' post='2818719'] It's 10kg lighter than an Ampeg fridge! But where did the 92p come from, though? [/quote] Is it? Wow. I had an Ampeg 8x10 years ago, but I was younger and stronger back then... I think it would cost more than 92p to post as well...
