Thon, believe it or not, the Bose 901 when it came out in the 2 channel audiophile days had two major problems. 1} Vague imaging and 2} an equalizer in the signal path(a straight wire with gain no no). Great for rear surround speakers though. I had a customer that insisted on recycling them a couple of years ago.

How about Sony's multi-room system that used coax for the keypads? Anyone ever see one of those?

Glad you guys straightened me out. Now I can go back to hating Bose full time.

Or the 1000 ZXL?
Now those were some kickass cassette decks!
When Nakamichi was a good name.

..Ever had to use a sawzall and
burn up 2 blades per largish speaker and be covered
with plaster??.. Even with safety goggles, a hat, dust mask, and sweatshirt hood on, you somehow managed to get plaster dust in your eye. And you looked like a ghost when you we're done

Yeah, I sold the Elcassette, hell of a recorder vs the cassette: double the tape width, double the speed and external trasport!
Here's a couple for ya!
1) THE first auto reverse cassette deck: Akai flipper
2) Yamahahaha speaker with diaphram shaped like an ear, for real!

it took 4 sawzall blades,...2 hours...cutting through sheetrock,
stucco, and a wire mesh the stucco was attached
to... I have had to make similar openings, and the grit-edged blades work much better and last infinitely longer. They're made for plaster and fiberglass. Larry www.fineelectricco.com

Bored as hell!
I'm really digging now...
Anyone have any experience with Mr. Audire's full range ribbon panels? He claims base response of 1 cycle per second. (I still use a pair of his Forte250 amplifiers - very nice! very quiet)
Oasis turntable, circa 1973. Plater was completely independent from the tonearm and the drive, floating in water. "Current required" took on a whole new meaning for this device. Neal Sinclair (son of Sinclair Paints) had it in his little highend audio shop in Santa Ana CA. The developer was forced to stop production when he caught his father's garage on fire.

This reminds me that I have an old old Audio Electronics (or something like that, not Popular Electronics) magazine with a picture on the cover of Lawrence Welk sitting in his convertible watching his 45 rpm changer, mounted just under the dash, dropping another record. In the back of this magazine, and a Japanese company trying to break into the American market placed an ad about three inches high for a speaker that played all (all in Latin is Pan, combining form Pana-) the frequencies of sound (Sonic). It was National's Pana-Sonic speaker. I wonder whatever happened to them?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

They're made for plaster and fiberglass.
Better yet - use a thin screw driver and chisel out plaster leaving only exposed lathe. Use router to cleanly cut. Makes significantly less mess, cheaper and much faster. About 20-30 minute per pair!

Real plaster?
Can you say RotoZip?
Still a very messy job, but a RotoZip will definitely do this job. Of course it won't do much else....lol
