hi there
i've just joined the forum so wanted to say thank you for having me, and to introduce myself
(apologies if this isn't the correct place for that).
i'm just your typical uk-based audiophile, a lifelong music lover who joined a rave collective in the 1990's and spent ten years putting on free parties and free festivals. this has given me a love of big sound systems in natural, outdoor settings and lead me to dig an amphitheatre in my garden. my current project is to complete the sound system for about 500 people to fill the amphitheatre.
i love big speakers and big amps, all the better for moving lots of air and plumbing the depths. for a long while i've hankered after an infinitely baffled sub for my domestic system but it isn't practical without major building works....maybe one day.
musically i have fairly catholic tastes; i love bass-driven electronic dance music, roots reggae rockers and dub, drum and bass, deep hard and slammin house, ambient dub, 70's funky soul, acoustic folk (that means alt-j), psychedelic or space rock (hawkwind) and classic heavy metal like black sabbath, deep purple and rainbow.
aside from music i love fell walking, mountaineering, driving and tuning japanese cars and most beasties...especially dogs and cats. and otters. and birds. bit of an all-round tree-hugger, to be honest
so thank you again for having me and i look forward to learning lots and hopefully some stimulating discussions!
best wishes
