cheddatom Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 A 15" wet halibut has an excellent off-axis slapping response, but once you go further than 45 degrees the impact tends to lessen to a kind of scaley stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 45-degree off-axis slapping response of your 15-inch halibut is a problem, might I suggest using four 10-inch halibuts instead? I would, however, strongly advise against using a 15-inch halibut at the same time as four smaller ones, because the results can be unpredictable.

alexclaber Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think the original poster can easily make their mind up. Two speakers with fairly similar response but one costs half as much and weighs less than half as much. What is bugging me is how Stevie is being so bullish and completely ignoring that simple issue. We live in a world where money is always a factor. And I'm wondering where this information comes from: [quote name='stevie' post='245884' date='Jul 23 2008, 10:19 AM']As neither of the Eminences have particularly well behaved cones (to put it mildly)...[/quote] I don't give a damn about points scoring but I do get pretty throughly riled when I have to suffer old farts acting like close-minded fools - that's why I generally avoid music shops...

If you wouldn't act like it face to face with someone you barely know then why would you act like this online. Children. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
