Pornography is like good/bad sound quality......I'll know it when I see (hear) it.

Pornography? Where?

I must study it so I can make a report on moral degradation for my church group.

  My 1.6's sound great as they are from Magnepan.

    The DO, don't they? Yet, many people with the 'urge' simply can't leave well enough alone.
    
    Modding is perhaps, a form of obsessive / compulsive behavior. Harmless to society, so noboby has yet been rubber-roomed for engaging in it.
    
    I'll join soon, I'm sure.

      Those who do "leave well alone" simply don't have the optimising gene. I would say most people don't. :-))
      
      I equate such people to those who are not perturbed by a tap dripping. (Read " Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance " if you have no idea what I'm talking about. :-))

        Ergo, most people are not perturbed by a tap dripping? LOL
        
        Anyway, I am safe...though I can't stop laughing here as you seem to be hell bent on making a tweaker out of evey soul around these parts.
        
        Burn the heretics!
        
        BTW, what has been changed on the Frankies lately? With the new room they are now in you must be having some fresh tweaking fun. : - ))
        
        Nono - absolutely not, JBen. ... - andyr 01:08:35 09/22/12 (2)

        I have absolutely no problem with people who are quite happy to listen as is and have no desire to "improve" their Maggies. As I said, IMO they simply lack the "optimisation" gene - of which I was born with a generous supply! :-))
        
        (Coincident with me getting into hifi - but before I started tweaking - I spent 4 years getting postgraduate degrees in Operations Research ... which is the mathematics of optimising. Since I veered sideways in my working life, out of OR into more "mainstream" computing, I seem to have fulfilled my "Optimisation Disorder" by tweaking my hifi system!:-)) )
        
        What's new with the Frankenpans ... well, yes, the new room is:
        a) a very different layout, and
        b) less than half the size of my last listening room.
        
        So I have them arranged against the long wall ... and sit much closer than I used to (about 9' away from the panels instead of 14'). But the sound is better than I feared it was going to be - and good enough to put up with for 12-18 months till we get our new house built. :-))
        
        Because of the smaller distance away and because they are on the long wall (so there is still about 3' between the ribbons and the side walls), I now have ribbons out.

      "rubber-roomed"? Ahhh, I was wondering what this stuff on the walls surrounding me was! LOL
