Sold.

Bump.

Bump. Get a great amp and help some people in a truly dire situation. Here's some more info on the situation there: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/opinion/19mueenuddin.html?hp

I'm the original owner of this A404.2 - since sometime between 1994 and 1996 - but unfortunately the original box is long gone. I purchased it at HiFi Buys, which at the time was a local chain (later bought out by the also-now-bankrupt Tweeter) that sold decent audio gear. (The salesperson who...

Why would the magnet material have anything to do with the power required for a given SPL? (Assuming listening to music, not burping into a mic.) Admittedly, if it's AlNiCo one might want to keep the power down, for fear of demagnetizing with heat...

How about I sell it to you for just $499+ shipping, then? Trade for an NIB or like new NS12-794-4A with black basket and pointy dustcap considered. Seriously, I have no need for the thing but no interest in selling it either. It's an interesting sidenote to my posse of Aura subwoofers, which...

I missed in your OP that you'd be using them for front and rear speakers. In that case, both should work well, though you might find that the steeper slopes available on the 300/4 allow cleaner integration with your sub. Or you might not. I don't remember if the 175.4's crossover is 2d or 3d...

I've used both amps. Actually, went from a Jello 300/4 to a PA BB175.4B and back. (I am currently looking at other options, because I am going from a 2-way active system to 2.1-way active and thus need 5 channels of amp. Neither one will fit in my intended space with a subwoofer amp as well.)...

Do you not understand basic English subject-verb relationships when you read other people's written words? You obviously don't understand the foundational literature about sonic differences in audio amplifiers despite your willingness to preach things that any rational and civilized person...

Again, you're proving my point about your sloppy "thought" processes. I did not insult your grammar, spelling, or word usage. Rather, I insulted your ability to read and comprehend the words I put in front of you, because as you've once again shown your reading abilities are quite poor. But...

E-mail and phone (what I wrote) ≠ usenet. Of course, those of you with poor reading comprehension skills wouldn't understand that people who know how to use language know what words mean and accordingly choose their words carefully. And actually mean what they write. No more, and no less...

Actually, from about 1997 until maybe 1999 or 2000 I participated quite a bit on RAH-E, so I know that it was moderated. (I don't recall ever having a post affected by it.) The words of JJ, Dick Pierce, Arny Krueger, and others were very useful and interesting to me, in that they opened up my...

I work under the assumption that we're all adults. If you think my post merits "harsh words," then use them. I'm not particularly thin-skinned. My overriding preference, though you didn't mention it, is to keep crossovers out of the midrange whenever possible, and to certainly never use...

Nice bit of projection there, Tommy. You attack conclusions based on logical inferences drawn from the history of double-blind same/different subjective listening tests by calling them as faith-based as your own superstititions. Is this forum your version of pinball? No, probably not, because...

Nope. It wasn't. And I never claimed anything was mine that wasn't. I"m not open-minded about the "audibility" of stupid shit like nonbroken amps of competent design and wires, no. The science is clear, it's just the marketing and the delusions of the deaf that's muddying things up. I don't...
