Hey Skunk, I checked the FAQ and did see your Q. No matter, as long as the info was posted. As to the point of acclimation - and conversely your point "Then again how would I know if they didn't, unless I had an unused pair in the same enclosure to compare" - it makes perfect sense as applied to the way we respond to sound at any given moment. Remember how sweet our new found love sounded to our ears only to make us wretch at the bitter end of the affair? Wonder if the same applies to audio? . -- haunyack RWA SB3 > Bryston BP20 > B&K r200.2 > Vandersteen 3A Signature ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haunyack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33527 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
