| which is better? Stereo Amp or Monoblocks? At the risk of heresy....If I were to start from scratch tomorrow, and had the budget to do so...All mono class D's, +/- 100 wrms. In the thousandths in the basic specs would be nice, but I don't expect 'bleeding edge' from what is still an emerg... | |
| Try this free tweak - Speaker Slumber Party! Absolutely, Eric. Room acoustics do matter...the smaller the room, the larger part they play. At first glance though, the 'pillow project' seems to skate on the edge of WAF and how ones' spouse might react. There's alternatives...borrowing an i... | |
| Tech That Flopped! "What was old is new again.." Over and over....ESLs' are great when done properly. Same for TLs' and pretty much any cabinet design and execution when the drivers are selected for the application. Line source has their adherents....you either l... | |
| Try this free tweak - Speaker Slumber Party! Best Capt. B. vid I've seen. *G*Eric, y'know, overall you're one of the most thoughtful posters here on AG...and I really appreciate your presence, but with this suggestion expecting 'us' to not crack wise and get goofy on you....*shrug*I'm pretty... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Mapman...well said. *G*I don't mind the 'esoterica', the 'bleeding edge' stuff, if it's Really an Agreed Upon Improvement. But there's the rub....getting AUI on anything anymore seems improbable if not impossible. We splinter into our camps of p... | |
| Is this for real? So...you can buy these amps or a house. Well, the new ones, anyway...the amps, that is....I guess I'll just have to get used to being a tasteless philistine with tin ears.There are those that live in the clouds.And there are those of us with anti... | |

| What type of Audio Gal or Guy are you? Do You Know? I do whatever amuses me. *G*No 'high end' exotica...I don't have the space nor the budget or even the interest in chasing the 'increasing zeros behind the decimal point'.I like an insanely wide variety of music.I'm building my own speakers....not ... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here *L* I'm already making an 'exotic' Now...I could sell you a pair for far less than 60K$ happily. At 60K, I'd be more than ecstatic to give you a lifetime warranty, unless you blow them up on a weekly basis. Then I might get a little irritated..... | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers Soundsreal....well, considering the plethora of offerings 'out there', I think we'd hardly notice an influx of 800...*L*The similarities between one's personal audio equipment choices for the spaces they listen in and the complexities of various p... | |
| My Home Speakers, My Car, and Me...The Ballad of What's Going Wrong? Standing waves....MHO.You can change the EQ, but ultimately not how the room responds to certain frequencies. As noted, 'damping' the room's surfaces will help but not change the fundamentals and the resonances they create.If possible, run some t... | |
| Planning your Total eclipse party? Avoid being a human Sacrifice! Big moment for self was before the Event ensued, a vapor trail appeared in relative alignment to the 'direction' of the moon's movement, tracing across the sky Very Quickly. "Supersonic..." I thought.Later read that NASA had a pair of interceptor... | |
| Engelbert? I grew up with polka music and various '40's 'big band hymns'. Out of that I developed an admiration of Spike Jones and the Andrews Sisters.Spouse and self do attend various symphonic and classical concerts that interest us, but normally listen t... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! A new malady....'cart clunk". *L* Wonders never cease....I find it amusing that all technologies, old and new, seem to exhibit odd 'quirks' that stymie us. TT's tend to be mechanical in nature, 'generally'. I have a CD that has an amusing 'stut... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal ...and I'm just happy to see a rational discussion about speaker wires that aren't 'esoteric'. *S* Please carry on.... |
