| Thiel Owners I have to eventually ask Tom if all Thiel products are optimized for far field? That is if I measure the frequency response at far field then repeat at near field, should it deviate a lot? At far field, room interactions may hide things that nea... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions it has not been mentioned, but remember there is acoustic phasing as you have been discussing It’s so obvious I didn’t to waste people time like you just did. Properly done active should always be better You have no idea. Talk is cheap lols. Wan... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions With a digital active cross-over, time/phase alignment becomes relatively easy. OK, you have just changed the rule of the game. Sure with digital processing, you could, but I was clearly talking about pure analog xover filters.Digital processing ... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions I was filling in the blanks. OK, I don't think I should be responsible for someone else's words. Are you saying time-phase coherent is possible with higher order filter? I suppose you could come up with your own definition of time-phase coher... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions I think your conclusion w.r.t. filters may be a wrong conclusion based around the type of filters you were using. Different filter types have considerably different step/impulse response, independent of order. I actually I never said that. Or ... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions There are mountains of evidence: genetic, fossil, comparative anatomy, homology, and much more. Carry on... You really took it seriously did you? I look more like chimps than apes. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom,Actually I appreciate your timely feedback and I have said many times I have a lot of admiration for Thiel’s products. I’ve looked at a lot of Stereophile measurements it seems like there are speaker manufacturers that pursued "time phase c... | |
| Thiel Owners While I commend Stereophile for actually measuring some of the gear they review. The discussion is not really about Stereophile measurements but more about the underlying meaning of "time coherent" or "phase coincidence" (Tom terminology). My arg... | |
| Thiel Owners Atkinson and others have hijacked "coherence" to include the smooth phase transitions in non-coincident systems with large phase shift - as long as the phase transitions are smooth, some call it phase coherent That is certainly what I understan... | |
| Thiel Owners "Since if a speaker can produce a step response correctly, therefore it is time-phase coherent, and therefore it must be "good" - is not something I hear him saying. He does say that "all else being equal, phase coherent speakers tend to produce... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Funny ... I really have no idea if there is such a thing as a "better" speakers. From personal experiences, designing first order speakers is really hard and it usually takes a long time vs. higher order speakers. This is not a subjective obser... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Who is kenjit? Is he a mythical hero? If a mythical hero postings, then by definition all his postings would be a myth? | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Hi Tim,I agree with what you said. Putting a cap on a tweeter for example does not mean a first order 6db/octave. The best I can hope for is 6db/octave in a limited frequency range. I think speakers from Thiel and Vandersteens that "claimed" to... | |
| Thiel Owners For those who are interest in a more detail discussions of first order/time phase coherent design, I have just created a thread specific to this subject. I actually have simulations, plots, graphs and not just subjective philosophical rubbish :-)... | |
| Thiel Owners Given some of the recent posts about cable upgrades, I wonder if you notice that the "larger" the system, the more apparent the difference makes. For example, if you have small monitors in a small room vs. a large system such as a real four way s... |
