| 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... | |

| JBL M2 Vs 4367 @n_brio wrote: "M2 has a power rating on 1200w at 8 ohm and 4367 300w with the same drivers are the x-over so much weaker in the passive speaker?" My guess is that the active crossover for the M2 includes protection circuitry which makes it safe ... | |

| New speakers for a new start? @devinplombier wrote: "I love planar speakers for their speed and transparency, but the fact that I can't sit still in their minuscule sweet spot for very long..." So if I understand correctly, you would like a wide sweet spot area. Let me sugg... | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? At the risk of over-simplifying (and I'm not saying this is the only factor): A significant contributor to high efficiency is a high motor-strength-to-moving-mass ratio, and it just so happens that a high motor-strength-to-moving-mass ratio is al... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mikhailark , I have to apologize for getting your amps mixed up - somehow I was thinking low-powered Class A Pass Labs, when it’s actually low-powered (but not as low-powered) Class A Accuphase. Speakers with a voltage sensitivity at least in the... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mikhailark , thank you for the additional information. That’s a nice big room, which imo implies that you will probably want fairly high voltage sensitivity for use with your 30-watt Pass Labs amp. You might consider speakers with a voltage sens... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mikhailark, ime a "relaxed, non-fatiguing sound" is predicted by a gently downward-sloping first-arrival sound, and an off-axis sound that has a very similar spectral balance. I’m not a big fan of deliberately introducing dippage into the 2-6 kHz... | |
| Speaker Slip Covers I have prosound customers who use custom-made speaker cabinet covers from Studio Slips, Tuki, and LeCover. | |
| LONE STAR AUDIOFEST JUNE 7-9 DALLAS WHO IS ATTENDING? @calvinj, thank you. Turns out I won't be at T.H.E. show either, nor will the new product (arrrgh); I will be occupied out-of-town that weekend. See you at whatever's next, I hope! I'm sure you'll have a fantastic show with INFIGO and GATO!! | |
| High Pass Filter for Mains Marchand has been in business for decades. I had a Marchand crossover nearly forty years ago. It worked great, eventually a neighbor kid destroyed the speakers and replacement parts for the speakers were unobtainium. Imo you can buy from Marchand... | |
| The Center, Measured Not that I’ve looked at every set of off-axis measurements done on a center-channel speaker, but I’ve seldom seen off-axis response that good on a conventional speaker, let alone a center-channel speaker! (For anyone wondering what I’m talking ab... | |
| The Center, Measured Imo that is SUPERB off-axis performance for a center channel speaker. Bravo! | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @helomech wrote: "It’s quite apparent from his posts that Audiokineses doesn’t have a strong grasp of speaker science." Could you elaborate? I'd like to know where you disagree with me. I'm not infallible. Thanks. |
