| Swarm subwoofer system VS DEBRA Distributed Enhanced Bass Reflex Array They are functionally identical. The difference is the footprint: The Swarm has a square footprint, 12" x 12", and the DEBRA has a rectangular footprint, 13.75" x 9.5", which "hugs" the wall a bit better. Dukedesigner | |

| Speaker upgrade for classical music Hi ssm, I’d like to comment about one of the characteristics you mentioned: "What I want: speakers... that really reproduce the expansiveness of the symphony hall or church." In home audio there is a competition between the acoustic signature of t... | |
| Veiled 'wet blanket' sound from tweeters @russ69, I'm not advocating for headphones as being "better" than loudspeakers. But good headphones can do some things better, and good loudspeakers can do other things better. In my opinion good loudspeakers do a far better job of allowing the ... | |
| Veiled 'wet blanket' sound from tweeters No speaker can approach the level of inner detail of good headphones for several reasons, among them: 1. The diaphragm in headphones is much smaller and lighter and can have properties which are impractical in normal driver diaphragms. 2. The powe... | |

| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) My understanding is that tinnitus is normally associated with a particular frequency region, which varies from one individual to another. Mathiasmingus, do you know what frequency region sets off your tinnitus? If not, you can probably fin... | |
| Can speakers cause mental illness? There may be a mental health issue in play here, but it has nothing to do with speakers. Take a look at the "Symptoms" list and draw your own conclusions : https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms... | |
| Any small Horn speaker? Horn speaker lovers. (Piano sound) Duke just responded to the questions in your messages, sangbro. The Audiogon notifications had been going into my Spam folder so I didn't see them. | |
| 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... |
