Howdy Linux experts, Been looking all over the stock talk board to find out where I can get information on 2 questions and this, I think, is the board to ask (I hope) Could anyone give any opinion on the potential of cobalt networks (cobt) server appliance for linux and Va linux (soon to go public) companies? Is linux software, server appliance etc going to grab a greater market share? It seems that redhat is doing well. Thanks in advance, Ms. Penny

For bass to reverbrate you need length of travel. That is why bass reflex speakers work. You can provide the travel length with reflectors. There are ways to get artificial length as they do in car manifolds which have a similar standing wave problem with low frequency flow. A perfect all-in-one speaker cannot be built, that is why you have woofers and tweeters and crossover. If one speaker could do perfect reproduction then there would be no need for different size instruments in an orchestra. a flute could make Tuba sounds. What audiophiles get is a RIAA compromise. That is "record" fidelity. Once in a while, they should go to concerts to hear the real thing and remind themselves what real music sounds like. The only real speaker would be the actual instruments lined up in your living room. A recording would be made of each one by a dynamic microphone at the recording session. The recording would be played through each instrument which would have a perfect player simulation. A master synchronizer would make sure of timing. This way no crossover would be necessary. The woofer would be an actual Tuba and or cello or bass, the tweeter a piccolo and flute with the high register of a voilin thrown in. A player piano and a tympani and snare drum would be automated too. Getting the perfect player robot-simulation has been done by Disney. A few shekels, but to an audiophile what would that matter?
