I'm getting a ribbon version of this speaker, YAHOOOOO!!

Really? Are there any more details about that speaker?

I don't know.. you have to ask Jim about it. I told Jim that I want this speaker and he told me that Jeff just finished with the crossover design using the ribbon G2 tweeter so he gave me a choice - and I chose the ribbon.

Good choice on going with the G2.

Wow! Those are real beauties, and I would imagine they sound great.

I really like "Portals"

One that strikes me is "crescendo"

It is really hard to actually come up with a name without having heard them, so I'd be happy to provide my shipping address......

Warmly,
Michael

Hmmmm I'm not quite sure what an open baffle design has to do with a gradual increase in volume. Are you sure you weren't thinking that crescendo meant climax? Sorry to be so picky, but crescendo is probably one of the 5 most misused terms in the English language. Ehhhhhh--I'm being too pedantic.

Canyoneagle · « **Reply #166 on:** 16 May 2008, 06:07 pm »

I like "crescendo" BECAUSE of the dynamic nature (gradual build to a peak) it implies.

I agree it is mis-used, but not in this case.... thanks for reinforcing the intent!
Edit - and, to further clarify the intent, the "gradual increase in volume" is typically used to convey emotion or to "provide emphasis", as are many other musical techniques.

Warmly,
Michael

I was thinking not gradual sound increases, but more so invoking greater emotions as its played....I was quick to endorse and Dennis I agree, you are being too narrow minded.

How about the Cowbells or Sonic Cowbells?

Got Cowbell?

I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!

"and Dennis I agree, you are being too narrow minded."

Glad to have my opinion backed by a competent authority. But if I can't win on semantics, there's this:
"Strong sales of the Infinity "Sterling" and "Crescendo" loudspeaker models to Circuit City as well as higher sales of Infinity automotive aftermarket ..." and http://www.acousticzen.com/

I'm not afraid of Acoustic Zen, but I'm not sure Jim wants to take on Harmon International.

How about W.T.F.A.T.G.T.N.T.S. When the Fack are they going to name this speaker!
YEah... it has a ring to it. A cowbell ring perhaps?

LOL on the cowbell clip!!!!

Looks like the crescendo name is taken, oh well, it was worth a try.

Ya know, I would imagine just about every musical term has been used to name an audio product by now.

danmasi · « **Reply #172 on:** 16 May 2008, 08:24 pm »

The next person to name yet another speaker with yet another word from the dictionary of musical terms shall be battuta col legno. Just way too overdone...

Maybe the "Salk Serenades" or the "Salk Rhapsodies."

dang - Crescendo sounded nice...no wonder, its aleardy taken! Duh!

Now in all seriousness, I agree with you - I would not want to take on a major player for a name

Twin peaks?

No music reference there

doug s. · « **Reply #176 on:** 17 May 2008, 10:16 pm »

i will be extremely surprised if this speaker isn't named "sound portal". unless, of course it's named "song portal", or yust "portal". no other names come close, imo...
