Thank you for accepting my request to join. I've actually used AK as a great reference guide and it's also a great source of comradery as seen by most of your long standing members. It nice to be included.
My personal likes are:
Panasonic
(Are you still reading... If so thank you. It's actually Mastushita that I have a warm spot for.)
Nikko
Sound Dynamics
JVC
Yamaha
Almost any speaker that uses only one driver.
Bose
(Are you still reading. Thank you, it's actually the guts of the Bose AM series II that make me adore those lil #$@*'s)
Fiio... I've had about 6 different units and they all make me smile.
Electro Voice has a very soft spot for me. I'll explain here one day
Martin Audio. Man alive for the b series thumpers from Mars.
Luxman "Suckface"
...
In all honesty... I like almost everything, as long as it pairs with that which is meant to make a beautiful sound. I've had silly expensive this and that, to only be boggled at why it won't sound good. Then in the same paragraph, thinking I could build speakers (OMFG NO!!!!) I paired an expensive B&W main driver, inside, 80s Canadian cabinet..... air suspension no doubt with a fff silk dome... And bang holy sweet grail I nailed it.... Beat bookies I've ever owned. (They were the result of years, countless streams, books on fluid dynamics etc etc.)
About the B&W, the insides, tweets and cabinets were not salvageable... Just the two mains.... Ahhhh.
Sunn
JBL the old JBL.
Mirage
Energy
Yes I am a Proud Canadian and moreso proud of the role Canada played in speaker development and production.
I'll leave you with that I am currently trying to build....
Wait for it....
From scrap parts no less...
Oceanway HS3.5
I have huge horns, a killer network, the ability to manufacture the cabinet and 1/4 or the drivers needs. Yeah... I know... 1/4....
Sincerely I remain,
Amanaboutahorse.
