Naturally not to be confused with a Godzuki.

Because it's a Gadzooka! 🙂

Now that's how to get paid :-) Blue.

You can 'parse' FRFR in different ways. Full range, flat response - it has a 'full range' (whatever that is) and a flat response. Full range flat response - the flat response is across its full range, which goes without saying for hifi speakers usually defined as response within +/- 3db across the full range. Of course the 'full range' for hifi speakers is typically defined as being between the two -3dB points, but the point is there are no unexpected peaks or troughs. Even if a speaker is 'FR,FR' it's clear that because of physics the 'range' still has to have limits, however broad it is, and there doesn't seem to be a standard to define what that is.

I thought they were just texture tiles...

Morrisons does tend to play a 'classic rock/pop' playlist

Reminds me... we had a 6th form concert, first live band I ever saw. The played originals and they weren't sh1te! All of them in the sixth form. They even brought out a single I've still got and the web remembers them...

These Zevon songs are definitely up there with 'Right Said Fred' and 'Shadduppa-you-face' in the top-100 novelty songs.

Sorry to be boring but... Clearly someone putting huge thought and effort into making a 'different'' bass. But they choose a naff bridge height adjustment that can only be done in half-steps of a relatively coarse (looks like M5 or even M6) thread.

Ken Russel? Eisenstien? I had no idea Magic Roundabout was so highbrow when I was a kid 🙂

Plus he's clearly playing from memory. A real musician would be sight reading.

Hendrix played with his teeth, but that guy takes playing by ear literally!

My story! First thing my singing teacher picked up and then asked which register I wanted to learn in. I can give Paul Robeson a run for his money but my falsetto is not a thing of beauty...

See that? That's your royalties, that is.

The obvious way to look at it is when do the benefits outweigh the costs? Clearly two variables - how you rate the benefits (convenience, enjoying a gadget) and costs (the actual expense and any potential degradation in sound or reliability). Surprise! Surprise! People are going to have different views!

I'm not too sure, for me I think it was down to crap teachers full stop. Up to the age when the lessons stopped I was open to any type of music or instrument. I enjoyed the lessons where we heard classical music and really enjoyed it when a military band came to the school (the trombonist had a huge pointed nose and a wicked sense of humour). But having a repertoire of Peter and the Wolf, Carnival of the Animals, Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra and Sparky the flipping Piano that just get used as class silencers and lessons that just cover the same basics over and again. Imagine trying to learn English with readings from the same four novels, lessons that never get past basic grammar and only ever being asked to read aloud from the same Janet and John books. <Edit> I do know what good music teaching is like, because I took singing lessons. The first lesson explored my voice and my aspirations, and over 10 or 12 weeks explored my range, made me learn to phrase things, made me aware of and control my breathing and revealed that I actually had excellent relative pitch. It was all focused on 'where are you now, where do you want to go and what is holding you back'. The only thing was I had to fake the sight-reading by memorising the melodies, easy as they were always played though first 🙂

I just read the listing

My brother told me it's cheaper to buy a Harley Benton guitar cab and remove the Celestron drivers than buy the same speakers individually...

The 8x10 is 8ohm. You'll have to buy two...

Are we allowed to post 'loopholes'?

Cripes, there are a couple of positive responses but overwhelmingly negative.

No. It was crap music, I don't think we ever got past Clare de la flippin' Lune on the recorder, banging random percussion, awful violin lessons and a choir where I was told I couldn't sing so fosters off. Beat all the joy out of music out of me by 11/12 then luckily I discovered real music.

I can see your face in it 🙂
