| How much does rear horn loading add to full range driver? @atmasphere thanks for the very clear explanation. Horns are capable of amazing performance. Even Rear horn loading doesn't seem to make a 3" driver an all around speaker. Now I know. I've heard 3 highly regarded dynamic full range drivers. Omeg... | |
| How much does rear horn loading add to full range driver? @larryi thanks for the Charney tip. Hadn't heard of them. @dekay , I have heard of the Jordan modules and The Horneshoppe. I was looking at $2450 Acoustic Technologies Classics. The head of the company passed away and a friend is selling them new... | |
| Amps replacement I bought a PS Audio S300 about 3 months ago. It changed my mind about class D amps and isn’t going anywhere. The bigger PSA should be even better. If it doesn’t suit you, return it within 30 days. PS Audio is great to work with. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Has anyone gone from Tannoy to Zu Audio? @mahughes thanks for the reply. My biggest worry is the upper midrange and highs. I'm sensitive to that range and worry there wouldn't be enough refinement. I've had that problem with Klipsch speakers from ~20 years ago. Exciting, but ultimately a... | |
| Has anyone gone from Tannoy to Zu Audio? @mahughes any idea why they sound so different at shows? I've been considering ZU, and can't decide if they'd be to my liking or not. Never heard them. Could order and return if I don't care for them. But shipping is still expensive and a hassle.... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Has supply started to catch up with demand? What is the normal wait time for these amps? Are Atma-Sphere dealers likely to have them in stock? Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Best budget USB @vthokie83 thanks for the comparison. Haven't had the 2.0 a week, should probably enjoy it a while. Not even sure how long USB cables need to settle in. I'll probably weaken and order an Excalibur in a few months. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Best budget USB @vthokie83 I'm very happy with the entry level Supra. There's no glaring weakness on my personal sonic wish list. Cable changes often involve trade offs. The Supra are very even handed and sound natural. I may regret asking, how does the Excalibu... | |
| Best budget USB This thread caused me to try a, better than stock, USB cable. It hooks between the portable HDD and Oppo BD105. I hadn’t tried any aftermarket USB cables before for various reasons. 1. Afraid to invest too much because my next HDD might use a diff... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @holmz I'm talking about stacking them on top of each other, on one rack shelf. The company that makes my class D amp often shows their monoblocks stacked. but reviewers and owners say it reduces sound quality. I tend to prefer short interconnect... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Another brand of class D monoblocks loose sound quality when stacked. Do these Atma-Sphere loose any sound quality when stacked? Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Whizzer cone drivers I've only heard Lowther. They were used as giant midranges In a 3 way horn system. Besides crossovers, they also had transformers. Also heard Supravox field coils in another system. Don't think they used whizzer cones. Both systems sounded great. ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jslateiv thanks for the clarification. Bet the hammertone copper was incredible looking. I'm fine with powder coat black. Thanks, Doug A | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jackd this gives me a good idea how the D. Sachs compares with the Supratek models. Your comparison Helps a lot. Buying a second Supratek also speaks highly of their sound quality. @jslateiv appreciate your explanation of the circuitry differen... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Thanks for the extra info @gryphongryph, @jackd , and @jslateiv . I thought the copper might add shielding. High-end Japanese components often use copper lined chassis for this reason. @jackd which Supratek do you find the D. Sachs closer to to... |
