Είναι αξιοπερίεργο ανάμεσα στις πάπιες, αυτή η ανάγκη να μιλάμε για μπόλοκ.

At least half of which aren’t restricted to Yorkshire…

Hmm, bonny, bairn, jammy and bray don't sound particularly Yorkshire. I would have used the spelling "owt" and "nowt" as well.

In case you ever visit (and you really should), you'll need to learn a few more.

Have fun.

My last visit was to London in 2007 for 2 weeks, of which I spent 10 days in the office slaving away. I did take that one overly popular bus trip out to Stonehenge. Wish I had more time to myself, if nothing the very least to eat more Cornish pasties.

They're definitely all common slang in Yorkshire.

And, whilst I've heard some on my travels, they tend not to be quite so prevalent.

Jammy is quite universal. Bairn and bray a bit more so in the North of England and Scotland.

Very few slang words are absolutely tied to one area.

Yeah, I guess The Shropshire Lad might take offense too

How would you pronounce WiiM VibeLink in a Yorkshire accent?

Half the battle is explaining to people that a representative from WiiM advised that WiiM is pronounced like, "whim," and not like, "weem."

It's Like Oppo.

They should have figured there'd be confusion about pronunciation before choosing the name.

How is Oppo pronounced? We already have annoying adverts telling us how to pronounce Hyundai and Fage

And ikea…

To be fair, Fage is using the roman alphabet to approximate a name that is normally written in Cyrillic alphabet. After multiple conversions, things get confusing. Also, some may have an even harder time reading something like, "Fahyeh."

I wouldn't even know halfway to how Korean people actually pronounce Hyundai.

Shoot, and I was hoping that it was the third option, pronounced like "thyme". "whim" would have been my last guess.

Think it is good that the majority of users buy it online. No need to go to a HiFi shop and meet stuff who also do not know what is correct.

This thread seems to have strayed far from its original topic.

the impedance curves ( 2k/24khz), even in their simple forms, are known? see it done yourself? ;-)

Yes, I measured it myself. Looks like I didn't save the DA RS100-4 measurement, but there hasn't been any surprise. It's a single driver with a passive notch filter. My own measurement of the Clarity 6.2 pretty much exactly equals the measurement performed by Erin:


This speaker surely benefits from a rather beefy amp, but the impedance is critical only in the highest octave. The 3e Audio A5 does remarkably well in this regard. It's pretty much indistinguishable from the power amp section in my Lyngdorf TDAI. I did not take the time to measure the actual output voltage so far. Given the extremely low output impedance I don't expect anything spooky here.

seems interesting (I'm going to share it with a friend who wants to start a DIY project with this tweeter...maybe he should be interested in such a product instead)

The tweeter used in the Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2 is not available to the DIY market. It's an AMT produced by Dali, using a waveguide designed by Purifi. While Radiant Acoustics and Dali (making the tweeter) and Purifi (also making the woofers and passive radiators) and Nordic Hi-Fi (actually assembling the speakers) are all Peter Lyngdorf companies, they are still very much separated.

thank you..
;-)
I'll agree, a low overall impedance type...apart from the peak at 3k and edpr at 1.1... which seems rather suited to this type of amp... I'm not surprised that the 3e audio a5 is not uncomfortable ;-)
(My friend was just interested in the classic-historical heil )

 

[canard]

in these options TI, 3a a5 seems the right horse ;-)
