Bronze Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 32 Registered: Nov-05 | Every object deflects certain light waves and each light wave has its own frequency, so dense solid igneous rocks of various colours will deflect all those frequencies that do not combine to give each rock its particular colour. This helps to deflect unwanted frequencies away from your speakers. The more varied colored rocks means the more varied range of unwanted frequencies will be deflected away from your speakers. Unfortunately, the casing, which we will call the skull, prevents the deflection of unwanted frequencies for those with rocks in their heads who would believe this tripe or any other that would explain why bottled coloured rocks would improve sound quality. |

Silver Member Username: TpizzlePost Number: 452 Registered: Apr-05 | the xr-55 is gold already, no need for rocks. |

Bronze Member Username: RushwjPost Number: 24 Registered: Feb-05 | these are an absolute riot! do people actually buy into this stuff? didn't somebody (mis)quote PT Barnum in another thread earlier? |

Silver Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 385 Registered: Feb-05 | I can't believe this! How stupid can people be! Well... case in point... look at how long Bose has been in business, and how many of us have owned Bose speakers at one point or another ;-) |

Silver Member Username: Stu_pittNYC, NY Post Number: 762 Registered: May-05 | I've never owned a Bose speaker. I thought about it when I was 15. When I asked the Crutchfield guy the specs and he laughed, I knew no good could have come from it. |

Silver Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 534 Registered: Dec-04 | Did you chase the thread and see the 'testimonials' bit? ROFL Look it up and follow users and other comments on other jars of rocks and stuff they bought. You just cant write stuff this funny |

So thats how Jan does it! Devilleshly clever. |

New member Username: HauutColumbus, MS US Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | Take the New Wave Theories and run with them... and not just toss these out the window as a waste. Speakers work on a myriad of harmonics many of which are sound cancelling and degrade overall performance. A small part of system and box design is to negate these waves. It is just possible these stones could indeed resonate at a frequency that would aid in counteracting these harmonics. E.G. vibrate like mad around the top of the speaker such that your so worried over its falling and smashing on the floor that you TOTALLY ignore system sounds and performance... ergo they are doing their job. |

Bronze Member Username: Bill984Post Number: 61 Registered: Oct-05 | i hear the new "electropebbleatic" speakers are really big in eastern europe. we are just a little behind. |
|
Silver Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 543 Registered: Dec-04 | In Eastern Europe. ROFL aw Bill, If it were Eastern Europe, it would be bits of cast iron and odd glowing pieces of toxic and irradiated waste. Or THAt could be from canada's north. |

Nimbus' sonic performance in the absence of large scale effects illustrates the profound impact of the Earth's crust movement, frequently ignored, or at least trivialized, on sound quality. Nimbus' unusual design characteristics are examined in the following paragraphs. y'all gotta see this site, too much! ROFL! http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina24.htm |
