| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Interesting configuration. Using two tweeters will improve the power handling and narrow the vertical dispersion, probably improving the power response relative to what you'd get with a single tweeter. I like it.A few questions for Daedalusaudio, ... | |
| New Company-Daber Audio Hi Stephen,Greetings! You have now officially crossed over to the "Dark Side", and I and my fellow minions welcome you.I am inspired by the success of Ty Lashbrook of Tyler Acoustics. It looks to me like Audiogon has been his primary marketing ven... | |
| 4 ohm speakers, 2, 4 or 8 ohm taps on amps A multi-tapped tube amp will deliver maximum power to the speakers when the speaker's impedance is correctly matched to the appropriate output transformer tap. This may or may not be the tap that also sounds the best with that particular speaker; ... | |
| Zu Definition, AG Duos orCoincident Total Victory? Of the speakers on your list, I'd choose the Avantgarde Duo, or if that wasn't possible then the Uno. | |
| Best monitor for under $1500? In my opinion a good monitoring speaker has a fairly narrow and uniform radiation pattern along with a flat on-axis and off-axis frequency response (the latter being implied by the uniform radiation pattern). The SP Technology Timepiece comes to m... | |
| Do Physicists Or Musicians Design Better Speakers? I'm friends with a physicist who for years was lead vocalist in a band. He now works as a professional audio consultant, mainly for prosound applications (his clientele is spread across four continents). He is very good friends with a concert pian... | |
| Electrostat transparency from conventional speaker An electrostat, direct-radiator dynamic, or horn system succeeds to the extent that it reproduces the illusion of a live performance.Transparency varies more from speaker to speaker than from amp to amp or preamp to preamp. Low coloration (includi... | |
| TETRA SPEAKERS ANYONE? I've heard 'em at CES several times. Very enjoyable speakers, well suited for long-term listening. Did not sound like boxes, and my ears did not localize them as the sound sources. Fine job by designer Adrian Butts.Duke | |
| Gradient Revolution I presume you read the recent TAS review by Robert Greene. He took some measurements of the Revolution that weren't included in the article, but are available on his website. You might find them interesting:http://www.regonaudio.com/Gradient%20Rev... | |
| best speakers for vocals? Tboooe,There is at least one electrostat that goes pretty deep in the bass.I have several customers who have measured their SoundLab A-1 or M-1 speakers as having an in-room -3 dB point somewhere in the lower 20's (lower than the factory claims), ... | |
| Classic speakers to hunt down used A few large-box classics...Altec model 14 and model 19 are very good-sounding older high efficiency systems.IMF and Fried (same designer) built some very nice transmission line systems.The Snell Acoustics Type A is one of the most intelligently de... | |
| Dual duty and LOUD Coman, if you're going to Detroit the manufacturer I e-mailed you about is in Northville, roughly 30 miles away.Also if by any chance you might be up for a road trip the first weekend in May, the Great Plains Audio Fest is taking place in Tulsa, O... | |
| Sensitivity in speakers BigNerd100,I think very highly of Pi Speakers. They are excellent values and very well designed. Wayne really knows crossovers and is very free with his knowledge. I really can't think of anyone quite like him. The 7Pi cornerhorns in particular ar... | |
| Tube amp $2-3K used What speakers do you have? | |
| Sensitivity in speakers I second JohnK's suggestion to put your woodshop skills to good use. You might look at PiSpeakers.com. Go with JBL drivers and you'll have speakers that sound great at a very wide variety of listening levels, including very low levels.Electrostats... |
