| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers Hi @cd318 ,I always can hear difference in speakers in term of compression dynamics.Many year ago I had Dynaudio Audience 60. I always felt these spikers have very heavy sound reproduction, the sound presses on the listener and tires.When I bought... | |

| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers Hi @tennisdoc56 Cheap watts leaded us to wrong direction - low sensitive speakers.low sensitive = compression!You can do nothing with low of physics.

| Compression Horns for Far field listening Fostex FE208EZ is built to work with a tweeter. It doesn’t have extended HF and low-mid range dip. But I’m not sure if it can work with simple ported box.Most of FR drivers have extended HF and as result they have recessed low-mid range. To get a ... | |
| Compression Horns for Far field listening What is a full range driver are you talking about? | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? Fostex t90a.Detailed, smooth, natural, very sensitive and adorable. | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers In modern speakers, in general, tweeters are getting better. But mid and bass drivers are getting worse.But there are number of exceptions. JBL produced excellent tweeters from end of 60x.Dick Sequerra vintage ribbon tweeters (Pyramid T1, T9) are ... | |

Me and my friends prefer EMT with external tube phonostages by a big margin. I know Fabritius sells EMT phonostge board with modern better op-amps.EMT tonearm is n... | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” I have the similar size room 14' x 22' x 8' my 6 watt SET drives Altec 604E easily.I'm sure even 2a3 or 45 SET will be enough!I think the really sensitive horn speakers don't need more power for a such size room. | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? Hi @chakster ,Yes it is true.The issue is not just shipping price. Most of sellers don't pack turntables properly.I bought EMT948 from Germany in 2011 when I was living in Israel.The shipping price wasn't too expensive but I also payed taxes.The m... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? Hi @chakster ,I had Lenco 78 turntable. My friend built me birch plywood plinth and I changed original tonearm to SME 3009 mk2. I also removed auto stop mechanics.Lenco is a great turntable and best value for money. I liked Lenco much more that No... |
