No - but oversized stereo equipment can be outperformed by newer more compact technology

Tell you what - you put all of your music on a nice high end reel to reel and I'll put mine on an i-pod, then we'll put one of each in the 'Vettes. You tell me which one is outdated and obsolete.

EH....take a good modern source and feed it through my system, and those little wall mounted 6x9 car speakers will wilt....there simply is no way in hell a silly bass thumper can move enough air to replicate a cathedral organ, and that can't be done without moving AIR, lots of it, then the bass needs be controlled, so it's not all distorted, the speakers have to be sized for minimum distortion, crossed over to avoid higher notes, meaning a 5 way system....the bass needs be damped for a flat response.....and that means you can not have horns or bass reflex, they suffer from no true bass, or very peaky bass....much less you have more problems with resonances than just a room....and it's construction...

Lets not forget the task of a fine home stereo is to REproduce music as it was during the OEM performance....as close as possible....

I got into this hobby because my old BIL was head of recorded sound for Library of Congress, then head of the music division for a short time before he died in '85.....he was 15 years older than me....so from the L/C recording/transcription labs to the sound preservation efforts, to the science of sound reproduction, I got into building and testing various speaker enclosures, from acoutstic suspensions to horns....

Infinity RS-II (from around 1980) pristine condition..Overhauled once. They are kinda like the sharks we drive!!:D, nothing really can compare to them today except some old klipsch horns I used to have.

Yeh, another olde tyme famous name from the past, Paul Klipsch, I met him once at his factory in HOPE Arkansas...famous for a dubious person too.....
I was on my way from LR to DFW to visit a buddy, '73-4 time frame....
problems with any horn sounds....had a buddy in DC who used to build speakers of all types on a experimental basis....nucking futz some of the shit he would build....got another funny story about him....

turns out his wife wad dating my old law prof from Univ/Maryland....so he wanted info in order to find out for divorce, so he wired a VOX, voice operated relay to his wheel to wheel Revox tape transport, hid it in one of the basement storage cabinets, and wired it to the phone line....

once a week he would review the tape....used it to find OTHER evidence.....when trial came up, he blew them all away with evidence of her cheating....and destroyed the tapes.....they never knew what/how....

:flash::flash: smoked 'em......

sorry to hijack the thread this far....

Now the challenge is going to be unloading all of the stuff we crammed into the garage and sorting it out so I can PUT THE "VETTE IN THE GARAGE where it belongs!:bonkers:

Actually,I envy you because now you can set the garage exactly as you like. For me to move all out of my garage to "redecorate" would be a monumental task!! Ya get that car in the garage..No way could i sleep knowing it was just sitting in the driveway. Heck, if we take the Vette and go out to dinner, it must be a place where we can eat and view at the same time...too many touchy feely people out there..:hunter:

I have never had a decent looking car for longer than 6 months before some off the wall shit happens to it.....sometimes as few as 30 daze....

:hissyfit: which is why I settle for a 20-20 paint job...doing any more is just a time/effort/frustration waster.....much less MONEY.....

:flash::mad:

but even with 20-20 job, a freeking shark gets the comments....

And I thought I was overly paranoid. I guess I am NORMAL! I do the same thing, park it where I can sit, eat and watch the car....
