| BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE It IS a tough question. I am, right now auditioning a set of rear loaded horns that I built. Should be plug and play, right? I know better and have several drivers to try out in the enclosures. Even though I like the sound of the horn in general,... | |
| Audio System Donation Similar dilemmas occur in many corners. My mother had trouble giving her silverware to anyone. I believe that the world has changed when we are unable to hand down what would have been beloved treasures in the past. Once in a rare while, I find... | |
| Why no speakers with remote control tone controls? I have not seen one with a remote that would include bass, treble, and other functions from the listening chair. It sounds as though the active units have all that, and probably a lot more. | |
| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor I have always found this to be a fascinating subject. Partway agreeing with some of the ideas here, I tried something a bit different. First of all, the speakers that built have very heavy duty outriggers. I did this because the speakers that I bu... | |
| Speakers or room I would have try for speaker placement first, and don't give too soon. OTOH, you can't change physics, and maybe the room is too tough of a situation to be handled speaker placement alone. Like many of us here, I have owned a number of speakers ov... | |
| Why no speakers with remote control tone controls? Now THAT is a great idea, at least for convenience. The tone, loudness, and even balance would best be controlled right at the listening position. | |
| Velodyne is... I still think about and miss my Velodyne ULD15. Before that, I had never heard bass that accurate except from a bass horn. | |
| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? It was many years ago that I happened to own 3 sets of speakers for my system. The main pair were JBL 4343. But then, I got talked into buying a small set of Maggies. Thirdly, a set of Klipsch Cornwalls were added. First off, the JBL and Maggies w... | |
| Were you naughty or nice? What did Santa bring you! Audio related only please! Santa brought me a lot of work in the woodshop. Making a set of folded horn speakers. Will try out about 3 different drivers from Mark Audio, Audio Nirvana, Silver Flute, and maybe even a driver from Decware. Lots of angles, dust, glue, clamps and... | |
| Eichmann binding post caps broke again/ Suggestions on something better Couldn't tell you the brand but I had a set of binding post with 'wings'. No really, they are tempting you to tighten them down, but the real reason I liked them was because of the ease in which they could be used by hand. In the past, I have used... | |
| Full Range comparison I have had some experience with FR designs, and many have a lot to offer. Most however have a shout in the midrange at about 1K that I cannot listen to! Round and round I went to find a driver that satisfied my preferences. The Mark Audio came ver... | |
| Jolida Foz SS-X Tube buffer & soundstage expander? Perhaps leaving the unit on for an extended period of time before playing it. Someone mentioned much better music after the unit was on for 12 hours. Perhaps this a beak in period. I did buy a different tube for it that had some merit. I would li... | |
| Expess Checkout (Stripe) Problems on Audiogon - HELP! I backed right out of Stripe, and went to PP business account. So far, no worries. | |
| Toroidal Isolation Power Conditioner Since the OP was looking in the used category for a product, I would cast my vote for BPT . Not only does it use the transformer type that he requested, it also renders a balanced output . In addition, my model has separate shielding for each seco... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? The TS parameters for bass driver being used in a horn is very different from the same sized driver used elsewhere. For example, the surround of the driver is much stiffer (typically a cloth material), since the cone moves very little. +/- 1/16 wa... |
