| Listen with your skin. I had the honor of meeting Bob at the PAF 2022 show. I did not know of him prior to our meeting. We were exhibiting there. While playing music for a room full of people I noticed someone waiting for a front row seat. He was caring a large bag. Onc... | |
| Do Your Speakers have LEVEL CONTROLS or EQUALIZERS? (Vintage or Modern) ??? My Apollo speakers are very adjustable in both the time domain and the amplitude domain via digital crossovers. All crossover parameters are easily adjustable. Adjustments can be made on the fly via tablet and multiple setting can be saved. I can ... | |
| horn or line array? @larryi Thanks for the kind words. My guess about the comment "sounding like a cross between planars and horns" has something to do with the Apollo's lively, dynamic sound coming from a line array? We will be exhibiting at Capital Audiofest ag... | |
| horn or line array? As others have correctly said "the implementation matters". The room in which they will be used in is very important. How directional the speakers are and how reverberant/damped the room is will largely impact the sound. Will the setup yield a mor... | |
| horn or line array? One of the desirable features of horns is high efficiency which contributes to their dynamic character. How about a high efficiency true line array? | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? How about some in-wall speakers covered with fabric that matches the wall paint color. | |
| Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones "Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones" The answer is no. All materials have specific characteristics and need to be used correctly and in the right application. No material is inherently superior across the ... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? How you treat your room is somewhat based on what type of speakers you have, monopole, dipole, omni. For example, a “dead” front wall is not ideal for dipoles. To your OP, we typically suggest wide-band absorption at the middle of the back wall a... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often While Atmasphere is correct in saying that it is possible to achieve thermal compression in planar-magnetic drivers, in practical terms it really doesn’t happen much, at least not in larger drivers. Being involved with Analysis planar-ribbon speak... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report An Aric Audio Super 300B SET amp with WE 300B tubes will be in room 705. If you like (and can use) low power amps the Super 300B SET is a really nice amp. | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. @bdp24 Sorry, hit the "post" button... I suggest looking into dipole woofers to best compliment OB speakers, not necessarily ours because there are lower priced systems out there. | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. @bdp24 During the development of our OB line arrays we researched and tried several types of woofers configurations and ultimately designed our own dipole woofer system. We came to the conclusion that dipole woofers complement OB speakers best, a... | |
| active crossover recommendation Marchand offers several models and the quality is very good. He can also design custom filters like baffle step compensation and others upon request. | |
| North Carolina Audio Club Hi Tom, I have inquired a few times as well. I am in Charlotte. Where are you located? Mike | |
| UPS. Friend Or Foe? Having shipped large heavy speakers and smaller packages for over 2 decades, we have witnessed some real freight abuse and have learned a few things along the way. During the first couple of years importing Analysis Audio speaker we spent more tim... |
