Gentlemen,

How many days on your GS 2's so far?

I'm on day 21 today.
My LP's haven't gotten a lot of love lately either, but they're not going anywhere.

It's been almost 30 happy days and every day I listen to it I am glad I got it.

I would first think about the kind of music you listen to and choose a loudspeaker well suited to that. The Tyr should drive whatever you want to use with it.

Good point!! I listen to pop, movie soundtrack (Hans zimmer mostly), I listen to the eagles too!

 

[toyer889]

Tyr for desktop listening?!? Wouldn’t Aegir be a better fit?

Haha yes! I found a good deal on them so got them recently

Using a set of Tyrs on desktop speakers is like putting a Ferrari engine in a VW Beatle.

Haha yes I am looking for a pair of speaker that can unleash the Ferrari engine haha

Though I do appreciate the YOLO'ness of the idea.

I wish I have a larger room haha, but right now I only have a desktop setup, so only considering bookshelf speakers on desk

Cool! Hope the desk is strong (and large). I have an adcom gfa 555 (200 watts) in my desktop system going to a set of paradigm speakers I picked up years ago.
I like the combo. Should be able to find something that will work for you.

Get a pair of BBC Monitors. Harbeth and such.

In that case, you may want a very inefficient, expensive speaker with wonderful mids. And one that stirs the automotive metaphor. Perhaps the one developed by the BBC for monitoring in the back of a Land Rover. LS3/5A would be the ideal choice. Small, inefficient and fragile enough to match the Tyr's modest output.

I'll be moving to the San Antonio area this year and just discovered that Wurstfest is a thing that exists near there.



Looks actually fun!

Anytime I see someone use the word "woke" incorrectly as a pejorative, I block them. Being against woke is being against empathy and real injustice, and a reflection of one's character. But whatever. ironically, we may mostly agree on universities, but from very different approaches and for very different reasons.

I prefer Schiit talking to sh!t talking. Let's get back to audio, cats, cardboard, tubes, BBQ, sports (ugh!), great new finds in music, automobiles, and other obscure and random topics on the curve.

No, it's not.

No way that is worse than New England Mexican food, holy hell!

My daughter tells me AL "Mexican" food might win that battle.

sitting here laughing trying not to spill my coffee. Having watched many long lasting sunspots come back into view. Now I'm picturing them falling off the edge into space because they can't make the turn of the edge of a flat circle the sun might be.

Must be where dark matter comes from as they fall off into space.

Have you informed NASA?

This is the collection of all Van Hagar as opposed David Lee Roth era on the original 'The Collection' album. I'm feeling some Cabo Wabo margs may be in order!

OK, I didn't realize this was a thing. Until a local restaurant put it on their sign and I laughed I'd never heard anyone say, "margs". All my time in TX it's been 'ritas.

 

[Ripper2860]

Ritas? In N. Texas we must be lazy as the single syllable variation is always preferred. Plus, 'Another round of Margs' is easier to say when one has already had a few.

I believe that you will enjoy your relocation to Texas. There are a lot of positives in Texas compared to Bay Area California.
P. S. If you need any 707 tube tester restoration help, I am always available.
