[QUOTE="Glenn Adams, post: 131237, member: 6611"] Re: "Tectonic plates" from the front page. I still have a pair of Acoustats Model 3's, love em, you have to sit at just the right spot, but when you do they are really really good. As for the Bell - I was refering to a vibrating surface like a bell. Now I get that a bell is omni and is a shape so I guess I should have called it a gong.
