Paragraph Good timing, new meadowlark blue
herons and matching center the nightingale wooohooo... bad timing -
mortage payment,wife,kids,BILLS!!! the horror.
Paragraph Good timing is planning on having a baby to an exact date and time on the calandar. Bad timing is having that baby on the exact day of the calandar but in a taxi-cab, stuck on the freeway with the wife beating on your head telling you, "I told you so." Excellent timing is reading your articles on first order crossover and proper timing, before running off and purchasing multi thousand dollar out of time, out of phase speakers. The worst timing of all is, having to turn up the volume on your out of time, out of phase speakers to drown out your berating wife telling you, "I told you so." Bad timing is the "Huh?" factor, when you can't quite make out what they are saying on your out of time, out of phase speakers. Very very bad timing is when you use that same excuse on your wife when she talks to you and you say, "Huh...I can't hear you." The most perfect of all timing is a man with a Meadowlark speaker system and a content wife. Paragraph *Bad timing* I recently discovered that, due to a few bad investments, I'm nearly broke. Concurrently, (after switching ICs, cables, inserting a DAC, etc.) I realized that the speakers I purchased less than 6 months ago were to blame for the extreme harshness in my system. SOS. *Good timing* I was prepared to try yet another 'fix' (a modified DAC) and contacted the inventor of the product for feedback. After one hour on the phone, he determined that his product would not solve my problem (and he was honest enough to tell me this!). He suggested that the metal dome tweeters in my new speakers (along with their design) was responsible, and recommended about 3 different brands of speakers to try. One of these was Meadowlark (and, more specifically, the Heron i, which was well over my 'budget' of zero!). I looked up a reliable dealer who sold me a couple of amps a few years back; he carries Meadowlark! Still...can I afford the Heron i??? *Bad timing* As stated previously, I'm low on $$$!
*Good timing* I hoard audio equipment. I have many items that are not being used. One of these is a pair of Thiel CS2.3 loudspeakers which nearly deafened me in a few short 'break-in' weeks. (They are well-built, quality speakers...just not for my ears!) This asset, sold in 2 weeks, enabled me to buy the Heron i's. (So I had to pay more than I got for the Thiels...the Meadowlarks are far, far superior in my set-up and for my taste!) I can once again enjoy music!!! Timing is everything... Paragraph I was born, but...on Friday the 13th, 1959. And it's been a predictably unmitigated record of bad timing ever since. If only I had a well-timed speaker delivery, maybe I would be able to laugh along with the next lame triskaidekaphobia joke. Well, more probably, have a seizure of some sort in the midst of un-boxing the Meadowlark - but at least my demise would coincide with a smile on my face. For those who know,
