It may be a scale of production issue: the more they can sell, the lower the price, if less people want it, it may be pricier than more powerful items.

Maxwell... But I think that you were looking at what was in between the shoe & the phone. Anyway, now we have the Dick Tracy phones. They are not as sexy.

If you're in the right place, you could sell them. Got cousins from up that way.

The early adopter problem. I'm always a number of years late (You, know, at least ten years or so). By then, the majority of makers have stuff more fully operational. And a proven track record. Withings is a well known watch company but was just dipping it's toes into the digital merging with...

What an unexpectedly great vocalist!

I too am multi-lingual. I was a translator for the Porsche Factory (English/German), my mother is Austrian & her father was Italian, so I know some Italian, my wife and my son have Chinese as their native language (so you do not have to guess that my wife made sure I know some of that), I spent...

I'm not changing my lingo for you (or anyone else). If you don't understand my lingo, please ask me. If I don't understand yours, I'll do the same. People use different words differently all over the world. Maybe where I am, the language will evolve the way you want it to. Maybe not. You used...

I have no idea but you sure don't express yourself like we do. Word shy? Another term that I have never heard. And I can't say that I know anyone that is. I do know a few people who, if they are awake they are talking. And when you ask them "Did you say something to me?' (Because I am in...

Never heard of anyone calling it that until you just did: Phone:

Yes, there is always some kind of snafu or things becoming fubar with these whatcha-ma-callit's.

I have no idea who originally said something about 115 db SPL. Since it was already in play, I used it. I'm pretty sure that I have had a room only up to 112 db SPL. One doesn't want to show off too much power, it attracts the wrong kind of people to your home when you are not there. And then...

Well, the only other thing that I have hard them called is "Handy Phone". Please enlighten me if they are being called something else. Being as my 95 old mother lives aloe 12 miles from me & both my wife & my son (he lives overseas & always has) are overseas at the moment, dispensing with them...

Overall, I prefer 3 ways (& more ways) but I rarely see them tested. I prefer to use my amps (they can be active without being part of the speaker, if I like [and I do like it]). The actives that have amps that are part of the speaker just means that I'll have to buy spare amps when I buy the...

No one says that you have to run at 115 db SPL, you can run less by turning it down. On the other hand, I might want more for my application. Perhaps I want to hear it outside, or on my dock or downstairs (or any other damn reason that I please). If YOU don't want to have that capability, no one...

Well, that took 30 seconds. There are many, many more.
