| Thiel Owners Some are saying (on that thread) that perhaps somewhere down the line Jim realized it was of no sonic consequence, but kept doing the time/phase coherent design because Thiel had already built a reputation marketing that characteristic. I think th... | |
| Thiel Owners I have not used any high end binding posts. The most expensive I've used so far only cost me a few dollars from Madisound.com.I guess you won't know until you try out, but for those who have used expensive posts before, do they make a difference ... | |
| Totem Acoustic Element Metal: The WOW factor! I was thinking about the driver design and it may be as simple as extra winding on the motor inductor coil. Basically you need a way to control the frequency response of the driver. If you break down a driver, here are all the possible compone... | |
| Totem Acoustic Element Metal: The WOW factor! Per V. Bruzzeze of Totem, the Element series indeed employs the Torrent driver without a (conventional) crossover. The witchy magnetic motor assembly somehow accomplishes the frequency modulation. Before (even before the Totem Metal) I always tho... | |
| Thiel Owners a major part of the art is prioritizing the relative value of various aspects of the whole package That's true. Designing speakers is as much an science as much as an art. Unfortunately some put too much science over the art part. | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? I do not put electrostatic and planer speakers in the same category as push-pull standard types of speakers That may be true, but conventional drivers are transducers nevertheless - they convert electrical energy to mechanical energy hence by de... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? When a speaker has "speed" it's approaching the sound of real, life like, sound Designing speaker is a compromise - some are optimized for speed (dynamic), or soundstage, or musicality. Some $80K speakers can have a huge soundstage but lack mu... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? resolution and transient response are very closely related. By dynamic I do not mean loud. I mean snap. Yes, but they may not be one to one exact. A high end paper driver may have more resolution and a low end aluminum driver may have more transi... | |
| What are the current "speaker trends" in your opinions? Hey,George, what the hell Vodoo has to do with this lols. | |
| What are the current "speaker trends" in your opinions? I think it depends on the price brackets. Each of them will have a trend of their own. For medium price, probably it will be DSP. But with DSP, currently there is no clear standard. Right now, you have to purchase everything from one single ma... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? "You can’t be serious."https://www.thefreedictionary.com/read+between+the+linesDon’t get out much? Sorry, couldn’t resist."Maybe you’re number 1?"https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_(slang)#Generation_SnowflakeOh my, are you one of these? If... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? I think it falls into what the Brits refer to as PRaT - Paced Rhythm and Timing. Of course Prat is also British slang for:an incompetent, stupid, or foolish person; an idiot.2. a person’s buttocks.I supposed this is another dumb joke. Maybe you'r... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? I don't understand why manufacturers don't post 0-60 and 1/4 mile times?It would make speaker selection much easier. You can't be serious. | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Speakers with better transient response are more revealing and can easily be made to sound crappy with bad or poorly set up equipment which I think is why some people have a jaundiced opinion of them particularly horns which are also not easy to... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Has anyone heard Martin Logan speakers? The electrostatic panel plays the mid and treble while the woofer plays the low frequencies.I always felt like the woofer was slightly lagging behind as if the bass and the upper frequencies were playing sli... |
