| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ @erik_squires , thank you very much for that information on Siegfried Linkwitz's tone burst tests! I was aware of the article in Stereophile years ago which "debunked" short-term thermal compression, but the methodology in the test was flawed ... | |

| 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 | |

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:... |
