| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow @tomic601 said, "A rear firing tweeter... is 100% distortion..." I disagree. Implemented correctly, one beneficial thing a rear-firing tweeter does is this: It corrects the spectral balance of the reflection field. Duke rear-firing tweeter adv... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Ime loudspeaker design is a fascinating competition of ideas, every one of which is a juggling of tradeoffs (and anyone who tells you otherwise is in marketing). The implementation of those ideas can take very different forms: Single driver, two-w... | |
| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow @erik_squires , imo the width of the Snell Type A helps the rear-firing tweeter to work well even when the speaker is up against the wall, assuming the wall is not absorptive. Imo rear-firing tweeters need some reflection path length, but not nea... | |

| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow Imo, all else being equal, the edge diffraction of a wide cabinet is more likely to degrade image precision because its false azimuth cues arrive at a worse time. But imo cabinet shape matters more than cabinet width. It is not clear to me that... | |
| Starting my showroom again @decooney , very interesting that your local guy carries both SoundLab and Zingali. I’m a SoundLab dealer and also the guy who mentioned Zingali... so, yeah! Nice combination! If I hadn’t started making my own speakers, I would have become a Zinga... | |
| Starting my showroom again @lonemountain wrote: "Finding something unique to sell is the game." I agree. I started out twenty-five years ago as a dealer for SoundLab speakers and Atma-Sphere amps & preamps. In the five years I was a dealer in New Orleans I only made O... | |
| Starting my showroom again @nashvillehifi, I think your plan of becoming a national distributor is a good one. If feasible, imo it would be a good idea to route all sales through your dealers. Dealers don’t like to compete with their distributors, but they really appreciate... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget @cookiecurls wrote: "The room size is 10 feet by 11 feet with 10 foot ceilings, almost a perfect square". This makes me think that a somewhat unconventional set-up geometry might be worth considering: Perhaps with the speakers and listening posit... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass @greenspyder718, does the minor low-end lack you describe show up throughout the room, or only in the listening position? Is your 20 x 15 foot room open into any other rooms? Can you describe approximately where the speakers are relative to the... | |

| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move @jbhiller wrote: "I’d like to get a bit more depth to the soundstage..." Ime there are two types of soundstage depth. The first type would be a deep-soundstage "they are here" presentation. A "they are here" presentation is an approximation of t... | |
