Hey Harley! What's the word..

I searched here and didn't see an existing discussion, so I wanted to post and ask the forum, and Bill, your thoughts on these unusual Big E Waveguide Loudspeakers . Scroll down and read the "Basic Theory" section in particular. The current TB discussion begins here . These have been aroun...

Okay, okay, I get the drift on the O15.

BTW, "Fatboy" was not the nickname of the Mark III plutonium device that was used in WWII against Japan. It was actually called Fat Man.

See this site, among others, for confirmation and further information.

I recently talked with a production engineer at Bag End, and he said they prefer Line-X coatings over Duratex. Bag End contracts with Line-X to coat commercial cabinets for outdoor appli...

How tough is Duratex?

It would appear that it's tougher than straight paint, but not as durable as materials like Line-X, or the coatings used by Dr.Bass or formerly by Euphonic Audio.

Do Duratex-coated cabs handle scrapes, pokes, rakes and drops well? Or does the cabinet wood dent and chip?
