In Reply to: You can nominate low-priced gear for coverage in my column in Stereophile! posted by John Marks on June 21, 2003 at 08:54:34:
Also the Moth Audio Cicadas and Omega TS-1/TS-1R and TS-2/TS-2R. All are single-driver speakers. The Horns are rear-horn loaded, the Moth and the Omegas are bass reflex.I'd also like to second (3rd, 4th...) the recommendation for some DIY / kit stuff. This is a segment of the market that Stereophile pretty much ignores. I'd like to see a process where one person builds, and talks about that, and someone else listens, and talks about that. This might avoid the "Proud Poppa Syndrome" with which all DIYers are familiar.
The Bottlehead Foreplay and Paramour are two of the insanest bargains in stereoland. If DocB doesn't come to his senses soon, and all indications are that he remains as crazy as ever, they will remain so.
Thanks, JM, for involving us in your column. I look forward to reading about the results. Maybe you should credit the Inmates who suggest whatever you decide to review?
