| Need New 2 Channel System for under 25K The room being an office I assume room treatment is out. Our collective experience tells us that there is nothing less fatiguing than a well balanced sound with minimal room interference and phase anomalies. Decent speakers properly aligned (with ... | |
| Need New 2 Channel System for under 25K As a manufacture we make it a point to sample dozens of product every year. My motivation is to point people to excellent products and positive solutions. You should seek users opinions. If you misconstrued my suggestion as me trying to sell you s... | |
| Need New 2 Channel System for under 25K Considering the room integration challenges you have ahead, I suggest you consider starting off with a Trinnov Amethyst (about $10K retail) and adding powered speakers or monitors plus compact amps. This approach allows flexibility and future upgr... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? The treatment of a sound room is not generic. Bass issues are largely determined by the room dimensions and size. Using bass traps (real bass traps) is almost always beneficial. Moving into the mid and high frequencies, the treatment often depends... | |

| What is ideal dimension size for a home listening room? What’s a California corner?”ideal” is somewhat subjective and relevant to the objectives.Please share your experiences with non-parallel walls as used in a dedicated room. I’m always eager to learn. | |
| What is ideal dimension size for a home listening room? brownsfan, I am not aware of any room mode calculators or mathematical model for rooms with non-parallel walls. We started with a rectangle shape for a base line. Then we did some calcs and made some assumptions to come up with which walls to ... | |

I suggest that you find a good on-line Room Mode Calculator which speaks of Schroeder Frequency, Bolt Area, Bonello, etc. to help you better understand the consequences of room dimensions. You might consider cons... | |

| Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ?? Boy, this forum can be decapitating but here goes.Ribbons, planar magnetic and AMT drivers are not the same. We design and build all three types so we know a thing or two about them. I categorize them as light membrane drivers. Like everything els... | |
| Solid-State Preamp/Crossover Some good point expressed above.We made a preamp with built in two-way crossovers specifically for our speakers. To make it more universal (multiple slopes and points) was not very practical. We designed it with changeable cards to accommodate dif... | |
| Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?.. I once saw a demonstration about concrete boat hulls. At one point the speaker struck the side of the concrete hull (it was an unfinished boat out of the water) with a pipe or bar and it rang like a giant bell. We actually sailed a concrete hull s... | |
| Alternatives to Brick and Mortar There have been many good points made here. One of them is that a marketing model for larger more expensive gear can be very different than one for lower priced easily shipped gear. One major element has not been mentioned, the high cost of advert... | |

| What are the advantages of electrostatic versus floor speakers w/wo external drivers? sokogear, As with most things in audio, there is more "different" than there is "better or worse". E-stats fall into a category I like to call "light membrane drivers" which also includes AMTs, ribbons, planar (like Analysis Audio and Magnepan) an... |
