Quick Note from Germany
Posting has been slow, there are some issues with my Cingular quad band and getting on Euro GPRS networks. Apparently Cingular has flashed in some software that makes if difficult if not impossible to use non Cingular GPRS networks with other SIMs. Voice and texting work fine, using the phone to moblog pics and check email doesn’t. Bummer. For me.
A bit earlier this evening I was ready to call in a missle strike on Burnsville. I’ve mellowed a bit, perhaps due to the Toprol and Lisinopril, perhaps due to old age, possibly both. The German part of the deal sponsors a high end jazz fest on the Danau (that’s Danube for the Yanks and other heathens). Nice gig for the most part. Great catering (by BMW no less), nice assortment of gear, that is, except for the wedges. Actually, calling the EV Plasma series wedges would be an insult. To real wedges.
Geez, where to start…
Tonality. They need some. Flat with a 58 into a Heritage 3k they sounded like warmed over monkey piss. Lumpy lows and harsh highs. It basically appears to be a rebadged Dynacord self powered box. It was sold to me as a high powered high fidelity self powered wedge. I didn’t think so and for a few hours this evening not only did they make my pityful existance fraught with peril, they probably got my BP back into the danger zone. The equalizers look like the remnants of a 9.0 quake just to get a modicum of tonality and forget about any serious level.
You guys can do a lot better than this. If these are meant to be your high end powered wedges, I’m afraid you’re going to want to start again.
