It comes in part out of laziness, and it comes in part by simply the hurdles of life that get in the way of our comfortable, every day routine, of which product reviews and technical articles had inched into mine.
But, it also comes out of the awe of dealing with things on a scale too big to digest all at once.
My JL Audio Fathom 112 subwoofers article is WAY late. I mean, everybody’s being really patient with me, but it WAY sucks that I haven’t published anything on them, because they are SO very, very, very nice, and I’m just in love with the little buggers. I was on track to have something handed in by the end of ’07, but ever since on of those major life events took hold, (not loss of job, not death), it’s been a real climb just getting my letter blocks lined up in order faster than they get knocked down.
So, I was wondering, or perhaps rather hoping, if/that the readers might be okay with me doing a short blurb, in the time I can manage, more immediately than not, just covering the basics, background, rough design, and quick impressions with two-channel music. I’ve generally found music, in my opinon, to be more demanding than movie applications when it comes to the more subtle qualitative subjective aspects of performance, and while these things can certainly pound to hold their own, where they shine is in their consistent composure, regardless of whisper or waterfall. To get a true movie experience with them, I need the projector hung, the HDMI cable run, the surround channels mounted, and all of that. None of those on the top of my To Do list.
I did begin to put humpty dumpty back together again, in earnest, as described in the previous feature article, though as soon as I got enough equipment together for two channel music listening, my motivation stalled just a little, rediscovering the wonders of really, really, really, superb, unbelievably good world of immacuately rendered ‘stereo’. A few weeks of that, and BOOM, life event, and then, priorities, all of them, just got blown out the window.
Well, that’s my plan anyway. The JL Audio Fathom 112 subwoofers deserve one hell of a writeup, and I am sorry that I don’t do them justice in a contiguous fashion. But, I can’t put it off anymore. I’ll give them the best I can. It won’t be the best I’ve ever offered, but it’s the best I can offer, for now.
Yep, that’ll be it.
