| RIP Tim de Paravicini Oh wow. Very sad to hear that. | |
| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs Northman, given your situation, I’d suggest the sub that has the most powerful EQ. That would be the F110. I apologize for volunteering subwoofer-related information that you did not ask for. I misunderstood what you were open to: "I’m ready to be... | |
| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs Northman, here is my $.02: Four E110’s, intelligently positioned, will have about twice the inherent in-room smoothness (and correspondingly better tonality) compared with two F110v2’s. I can explain why if you’d like. Tonality in the bass region... | |

| Any small Horn speaker? Horn speaker lovers. (Piano sound) Hi Sangbro, I replied to your private message. You mention piano a couple of times - imo that's an excellent test for any loudspeaker. A horn speaker will typically get the dynamics right (the piano is a percussion instrument!), but getting the ... | |
| Any small Horn speaker? Horn speaker lovers. (Piano sound) Sangbro, I share your opinion that horns done right can do a very good job on piano. I am commercially involved with a line of US-made horn loudspeakers, the lightest of which is 46 pounds. Because of my affiliation I'll refrain from posting de... | |
| Speaker upgrade Romney80, thank you for the additional information about your room treatments. One of the reasons I was asking is that one of the speakers on your list, the Von Schweikert VR55, uses a rear-firing driver. (So do the Boenickes, and obviously di... | |
| Speaker upgrade Romney80, I have a question about something you wrote: " I have already done all room acoustics. " I hope you don’t mind me asking for some clarification... Are you primarily using absorption to treat your room, or are you using diffusion either p... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world @sounds_real_audio, I would welcome actual clarification of your 9-22-2020 post. It’s not too late. Duke | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits If money wasn't an issue... Here's what I originally typed: "I'd manufacture a killer speaker at an affordable price, provide free in-home auditions, and happily lose money on every sale." That may look nice at first glance. But... It woul... | |
| Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change. Veerossi, you might get in touch with Jim Romeyn, maker of your DEBRA subwoofer system. He may have some loudspeaker ideas. He and I have collaborated on several designs which bear my company’s name. You mentioned soundstage, and that’s one of the... | |

| HELP advise PLEASE - Focal Sopra 2 Speakers - I want a tube amp but " Min 2.6ohm @ 104Hz " Erik is correct. I design speakers to be tube-amp-friendly so I am familiar with the issue he brings up. You might look into Paul Speltz's "Zero" Autoformer, which is made for exactly this situation. The Zero Autoformer can effectively and eleg... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers Thanks for taking the time to post, Jasmine! When my wife and I were dating, her only source of music at home was her son's boombox. She wanted to play a song for me, and it had these selectable tone settings like "rock", "country", "classical",... | |
| Stahl-tek Vekian - help please! The company has apparently been "voluntarily dissolved", which means that the owners shut it down and sold the assets, which were used to pay off any debts.In other words, apparently Stahl-Tek is no more. Duke |
