| The Intellectual People Podcast - Dr. Earl Geddes Watched, subscribed, and LIKED immensely! Jtwrace, your link took me to a different video. Maybe this one instead? https://youtu.be/nhe8VfuTg08?t=1 Duke | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ @phusis asked a bunch of good questions. My response: The round waveguide has a pattern width of 75 degrees and will sit atop the midwoofer box, somewhat reminiscent of some of Avantgarde’s models. So the configuration is "HMM" instead of "MHM". (... | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ @tomic601 asked: "are you 3D printing the waveguide?" No. I looked into it and concluded that was impractical. The piece is 22" in diameter. Duke | |

| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ There is an inevitable tradeoff relationship between box size, bass extension, and efficiency. And it’s a fairly brutal relationship. If you keep the same bass response, every 3 dB increase in efficiency calls for a DOUBLING of box size. So compar... | |
| Crystal Cable Arabesque Mini I agree with all of Erik's comments about the Crystal Cable speakers. Duke | |
| Bigger drivers = bigger soundstage " The larger the driver the worse the dispersion." The larger the driver the NARROWER the dispersion. Narrow dispersion can be better, it depends on the application. Duke | |
| Placement of Dual Powered Subs with Tower Speakers Erik wrote: " Well, color me surprised this works as well as you have experienced!! It feels a little too much like relying on serendipity for me to have every thoguht to try it this way. :-) " I have nothing against measurements and modelling ... | |
| Placement of Dual Powered Subs with Tower Speakers Erik asked: "OK, so how do you get to this asymetrical plan? Do you use a room simulation similar to REW’s?" You could.In practice the room’s layout usually imposes constraints, and from there one just applies the basic principle of maximizing spa... | |
| Placement of Dual Powered Subs with Tower Speakers @erik_squires asks a really good question: "What exactly do you think the difference is, in setting up 2 speakers between what we are recommending?? , because I can’t see it. :)" The difference is admittedly subtle. Just to recap, your suggestion:... | |
| Placement of Dual Powered Subs with Tower Speakers My suggestion would be deliberately placing both subs with asymmetry in mind. For instance, one might be on the front wall near the left corner, and the other might be on the right wall near back corner, but a different distance from that corner t... | |
| Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible. ieales wrote: "As a retired recording engineer, I can tell you first hand that studio and home setups are as different as chalk and cheese."In the studio, we don’t listen to music. We listen to instruments, voices and mixes."B I G difference." ^^T... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? Pinwa, in the spirit of plowing with the horses you’ve got, I like Erik’s idea of plugging the port(s) on the mains and then overlapping the mains and subs. If the Moabs have multiple ports, you might leave one open. This might work as a plug: htt... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? " Bingo! And I already provided the simple $2 solution to getting exactly that from his existing amp. https://www.epanorama.net/circuits/speaker_to_line.html " Good call!! Duke | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? Hello Pinwa, Imo the close-miced curve of the Starke provides a lot of useful information. Now you can tell what was room interaction and what was native to the subwoofer, and it is much easier to tell what the crossover is doing. Good job!! I thi... |
