| What speakers can b considered as world reference? Drew,Enjoyed reading your post. If I might comment on one thing - Earl Geddes' speaker was called the "Summa" (as in "summa cum laude"), so you were very close there. Earl is no longer building the Summa, but has sold the rights to a Thailand-base... | |
| In-line xover question A plug-in high-pass filter like you describe will roll off the bottom end of your main speakers at 6 dB per octave (it's a capacitor selected with the amplifier's input impedance and desired rolloff point in mind). Whether or not it will help get ... | |
| cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's Hello Optarchie,I just spoke with Tierry Budge's distributor, Todd Waldron, who told me that the impedance curve for the Fremont stays between 6.5 ohms and 10 ohms. That is extremely impressive and good news as far as OTL amp matching goes (I'm an... | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 Franks,I drove a pair of Quad 57's with an S-30 a few years ago. Since I'm a dealer for the latter I'll refrain from editorializing too much and just say that yes, it can be done.For stacked Quads driven in parallel, in my opinion the S-30's outpu... | |
| Report from Rocky Mountain AudioFest Hello Turbofc3s,I heard The Red Speakers in room 9014 and liked them quite a bit. They were very dynamic and open-sounding, and I didn't hear anything that sounded "wrong" and spoiled the illusion. I wanted to stay longer in your room, but had ver... | |
| RMAF: My favorites, so-so's, and disappointments Jig,Wow thanks - I'll show Lori your post! I recently became an Emerald Physics dealer, but have only heard the CS2 at RMAF as I'm still waiting for my demo pair. Probably not fair for me to comment, but I guess you can read in between the lines m... | |
| RMAF: My favorites, so-so's, and disappointments Jig,The Pulserod by SonicWeld was indeed superb in my opinion as well. I have heard it a couple of times before and it was very good but didn't really drop my jaw to the floor like it did this time. Designer Josh Heiner told me that he'd made nume... | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix Mrtennis, I will not be exhibiting in Las Vegas in January, though I plan to ogle & schmooze so we might bump into one another in the hallway. That show is geared towards manufacturers and dealers finding one another, and frankly I'm not looki... | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix Thanks for the information, Mrtennis. I appreciate your taking the time to call Magnepan. You know, maybe just maybe having a reviewer interested enough to call 'em up will help push the project forward.If you'll be at RMAF, it would be nice to se... | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix Harry Pearson and RF Gumby got very, very different results with the Carver subwoofer mated to Maggies. I suspect that neither one is deaf, and that neither one is incompetent, and that neither one is dishonest. So, what happened?Different room ac... | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix Mrtennis,As a SoundLab dealer, for many years I believed that cones could not possibly blend well with panels. But is it panels and cones that sound so different from one another, or is it really dipoles and monopoles? I've spent time with maybe a... | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix I used to think that the problem in trying to blend a subwoofer with a planar was primarily a transient response issue (see my post above, dating back about 15 months). Now I believe that it is primarily a room interaction issue. By way of introdu... | |

| Atmasphere ma1,VTL mb250, Jolida JD 3000 I'm a dealer for Atma-Sphere, SoundLab, and JoLida.The difference between 140 and 200 watts is less than 2 dB. However, none of these three amps will really be delivering exactly their rated power into the load the SoundLabs present, so let's take... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Undertow,On another site Macrojack's every post was accompanied by the tagline "I am a dealer for Grado and Zu". As far as I knew, he really was an active dealer for Grado and Zu, so it didn't start out looking like a molehill to me. And far as I ... |
