| time-aligned speakers: stepped fronts vs. sloping fronts if not, you'll be hearing the tweeters doubly off-axis Although I know what you meant, I don't think the word "doubly off-axis" is a proper characterization. It's either exactly on-axis or off-axis at certain degree angle in a 3-dimensional sp... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Nobody here complaining paying $200K for sex :-) | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? I think we've reached another low when we have to rely on mice for our audio gears :-)Also we have to outlaw "copy and paste" :-) | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Could we banish all that stuff to a vanity brand forum? We can call that forum "Commies". | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? Hiss and pops and clicks and other forms of tube and record noise are not white noise It can get complicated. To make a general statement can lead to over-simplification. Are those "hiss", "pops", and "clicks" occurring randomly? That's somethi... | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? If the signal path is absolutely clean then there would not be any need for the added white noise. But alas ... our digital gears are full of "correlated high frequency" noise. Some DAC intentionally have "white noise" added to mask or lessen th... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? But come on man, $27,500 for a paint upgrade. Apparently, there are a lot of rich people willing to pay for it otherwise they wouldn't have charged that kind of money in the first place. Don't fault Wilson for it. Blame the money. | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? We need to come up with agreed to standards, benchmarks, yardsticks. Not measurements only, but points of reference that we can agree on. Then we can explore together and come back with real improvements. Don't stop believin'Hold on to that f... | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? Before science, people when looked up the night sky at the milky way and thought that the milky way was sort of like a backbone, a backbone of the night sky, and if without it, the night sky would fall down on earth and could end all life. Now we ... | |
| Thiel Owners Note that the 1.5 drivers were entirely developed by Thiel in-houseOK, I see. I just thought they did look similar to some of the Vifa drivers. I have an eccentric theory about why phase-coherent x time coincident speakers are "harder" to driv... | |
| time-aligned speakers: stepped fronts vs. sloping fronts There are two ways to time align the drivers - sloping the baffle or stepped baffle : both achieve the same thing. The advantage of sloping is to minimize diffraction caused by the stepped baffle.Sloping baffle is also used in first order/time-ph... | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? I don't know muchBut I know I love youAnd that may beAll I need to know ..... Linda Ronstadt, Aaron NevilleIt seems like the problem facing audiophiles is that we feel like we know it but at the same we don't really know it. Everybody has th... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Hahaha ..... I miss the good old days. A gigantic flag ship pair of speakers only costs $25K. Something like this today would be $80K. Nice square step response! | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Why would you assume that? I was hoping you would enlighten me? Since your post above implies you know the answer? | |
| Thiel Owners With respect to "ease of drive", I looked at the CS1.5 which I believe do not use "Thiel designed" drivers but more or less "off the shelf". Based on Stereophile measurements, the impedance minimum is about ~3.7 Ohm at around 200Hz. Based on th... |
