| How do you properly set up a horn speaker Atmasphere, I know a few people who do not like horns, period. I do too. But not all horns are created equal- like all tech, there are good examples and bad examples. As we all know rooms at shows are not always the best place to do an audition. I... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? @meiatflask Do you have a budget for your preamp? | |
| How do you properly set up a horn speaker I am thinking the " honking thing " batman mentioned was because he listened to them nearer field than normal. He was trolling. The horns on the T-1 per the OP have very smooth response, nearfield or not. When people hear them, they often remark ... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? I think there is WAY more to a good metal speaker than just being able to "rock" or shake the walls or whatever. Being loud doesn't mean it sounds good. Details and dynamics, tight bass, clear smooth highs... served with a massive helping of m... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? Atmosphere- is the mp-3 balanced only for input and output? Can I use RCAs?@meiatflaskYou can use RCAs. The MP-3 (and also our MP-1) is fully balanced and differential from input to output. Because it has differential inputs, it doesn’t care if th... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. BTW the RIAA curve we are familiar with that is 40 dB of EQ from top to bottom is not the RIAA curve. It is the RIAA plus MM/MC curve.Try telling the manufacturers of cutter electronics that. Does anyone find this interesting or alarming that we ... | |
| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? Perhaps audio manufactures should drop the term AB and adopt A/AB to give consumers more info on how the amp operates. What are the benefits/drawback of two identical 100w amplifier but one is biased for the first 10w in Class A (A/AB = 10/90) whe... | |
| How do you properly set up a horn speaker So if my room is 17' wide( do to a bay window and 15'5" the rest of the room by 28 deep- How far apart should I start to place the speakers - Again I truly appreciate the guidance from someone who does not have the knowledge you have but want t... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? And from Merrill Audio who use the higher switching speed" Internally the Element 118 Power Amplifier Monoblock PCB boards are manufactured to the highest excellence available and further engineered for sustaining a most stable temperature dist... | |
| why a high end phono preamp? Are all stand along phono preamps both MC and MM? If a person knew they were only going to be using MM can a MM preamp only be purchased, perhaps even at a price that reflects it not having the not necessary MC electronics?Most inexpensive pho... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? phantom_av- it has been years since I have listened to Atma-sphere. I will check into them. Per their website, the preamps do not appear to have a remote, which is important to me.A remote is available for both the MP-1 and MP-3. | |
| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? No- you got it. If its not class A, then its AB (or in some rare cases, B). There is also AB1 and AB2 (which mostly applies to tubes depending on whether grid current exists in the output tubes during part of the waveform).But there is no such thi... | |
| Vintage Tube Amplifiers - Any good? Some consoles were pretty good. Many were terrible!But there are plenty of vintage amps that sound great on modern speakers:Harmon Kardon Citation 2, Dynaco St-70, Marantz model 8 and model 9, Fisher, HH Scott and so on. Any of them would need the... | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Partly correct, but for many years horn systems have included "phase plugs" or their equivalent to keep horns from "beaming" high frequencies.This statement is problematic. Phase plugs are used to prevent cancellation at higher frequencies, thus... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? You can buy your own EPC GaN boards from Digikey, and yes they operate with no heatsink. Because EPC’s Steve Colino said to me, (and I posted up his email), they are at 600khz switching speed, you can increase that to 1 or 1.5mhz as Steve said,... |
