[Martin D]

mmm

linn shat?

Perfect name for some speakers I could name. How about:

KRIK, SKOT, KLINGON, KARDASSIAN, CHEKOV, KHAN (already done, nearly), KRONOS, PIKARD, RIKER, TUVOK, ETC ETC.

'kin 'ell, I've done their next 10 years' work for them.

Joe will soon get up and give us the next 30 years

And if Linn paid you a £1000 for each name you would nearly have enough for a full spec LP12.

Tekniques, Bang & Awfulson, Cyprus, Nam, Aywarr, Sybil (speakers), Double Dobly.

All the names of well known products - apparently.

The Cambridge AZUR and TOPAZ to me sound like some kind of cold war project designation. Not only will they amplify your music, but can scramble the electronics of ICBMs and any similarly sophisticated technology. Like washing machines. 007 has been recalled from Jamaica.

Ironically the Well Tempered Amadeus is a stonkingly good deck. Despite having much less technology than 60s rocket program. String.

Nic,

You've already covered it, but, yes, the Skotty is a rather obvious omission within the Linn line-up.

It has it all — a K, a Trek tie-in and a reference to something Scottish.

Ivor should send you a chek(ov) in the mail, man.

STDSN?

What about Kira?

or QuarK?

slippin' dude...


I want one of those Defiant CD players more than I've wanted anything in my entire life...

 

[Joe P]

Basil,

Kira and Quark aren't Skottish, so only two of the three naming criteria are met.

The only question that remains is what product the Skotty would be. I'm thinkin' an amplifierrrrr that cannae give ye morrrrrre powerrrrr.

I see, should have read the thread more carefully...

I think a more fitting 'Scottyism' would have to be: 'Ye canna change tha laws o physics'

I seem to remember a 'Scottish' episode of TNG that was really embarrasing? Season 7 I think, or more commonly known around these parts as 'the season the writers started taking lots of drugs'

 

[TheDecameron]

Well, no one's said Von Gaylord yet so I'll throw that one into the mix:

I realize it's likely the guys name but there are a hundred more appealing names that I can think of...

I heard that von Gaylord has never been into Fanny Wang.

 

[tim_bissell]

No, sorry, it can't be his name. Nobody on earth has a name like Von Gaylord.

How about that guy for the US? Randy Bumgardener, I think his name was.

Anyway, I've always though 'Border Patrol' was a bit odd...

Don't know why but think a name like OPPO is quite funny or at least not very serious
