General Discussion / Another good sale...
« Last post by henry on February 12, 2026, 04:58:57 PM »
Monoprice is running a sale on the Monoprice 25 Watt Stereo Hybrid Tube Amplifier with Bluetooth, Optical, Coaxial, and USB Inputs, and Subwoofer Out.  It's now $96.  I like that this one uses class AB for the solid state amplification.  I haven't heard this, but at half price, maybe it's another cheap thrill for those of us with efficient speakers.  Enjoy.

Politics / Re: Capt. Z.....for you! America today!

Sonic, thanks for the post. What I find amazing is that so many of the "smart people" (according to them) simply refuse to believe statistics and reality.
They don't seem to understand the concept that Grok or any other AI can easily disprove or validate the nonsense they may believe.
It helps to know the right questions to ask and to ask for answers with no "commentary". Grok is integrated into our car now and talking to it
and getting answers is easy when driving around, it's great if someone is arguing with you :)

Merry Christmas everyone,
Ed

But I hope I can 'hide away'
Capt. Z, even before they deploy those 87,000 new IRS agents, they already have the geo tracking capability to figure out who was in and around the Capitol Building on January 6th, 2021 and arresting them, except for the one who placed the pipe bomb near democrat & republican party headquarters.   :-X
Better late than never.  Suspect arrested in Jan. 6 pipe bomb case.  It's important to note that the FBI had all these info for last 4 years.  It's not something new that just came up.  The plot thickens. :o

It's been a pretty good year for us hard working American knuckleheads, so after four years of pessimism and failures, the sane and "producing" among us deserves a chance to feel good about ourselves.  So, eat, drink, reflect and enjoy!  Celebrate the progress.

General Discussion / ESS Sale 7/25/25
« Last post by henry on July 26, 2025, 02:24:25 AM »
ESS has a really good sale now: $250 for a pair of the large Heil AMT and a pair of mounting kits.  A pair of mounting kits is typically $68, so this is a great bundle even if you don't need the kits.

edit: I forgot, I was looking on PE today for the Peerless woofer used in the bucket sub (backordered), and I grinned when I saw Ed's sub mentioned a few times in the reviews.

General Discussion / What a week

Losing icons Ozzy and The Hulk in one week is tough. 

I once thought the big 70 threshold was really old.  Not so much anymore. Time to squeeze in some more livin' while we can still enjoy.

I'm really digging these little subs with music in a smallish room.  Yep, I couldn't resist and bought another open box unit that was in perfect shape.  It's all about cheap thrills and good sound with these things. 8)

A swarm of these would generate even more grins.

I don't have real test equipment, but today I hooked up the mighty Lepai LP-2020A+ amp (a 20w/channel) amp using only one channel to drive the little sub and a free online tone generator.  Despite the woefully inadequate amp, this sub has usable, fairly clean output at 30Hz.  The 20's were softer, but still there.  I imagine this would be much better with an appropriate amp.  I'm too lazy and old to spend time putting my "good" amps to use since that would require me to get on the floor and unhook stuff, etc.  I'm surprised that this little 4 ohm sub could make credible noise with the LP-2020A+.  I don't know what the A+ means, maybe "A" for effort?  :)

Sorry sonic, that's all I got until you send me a care pkg.  ;D
