| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Deckhand, you might try listening from fairly far off-axis, like 20-25 degrees. I suggest moving the speakers a bit further apart than normal and toeing them in severely, like 45 degrees and maybe even more, such that their axes criss-cross well i... | |
| Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed. From the article: " I admire Toole’s work, but I do not admire conformists who insist... that everything be judged by the same narrow criteria. " I agree with writer Jim Austin. Neither Floyd Toole nor his colleague Sean Olive claim that their mea... | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? Erik, If I started referring to those who advocate bass traps as "flat earthers", would I not be discrediting the technology? Same thing when you refer to those who advocate multiple subs as "cultists". Erik, IF you have a beef with Miller Carbon,... | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? @erik_squires, speaking of straw men and/or reading comprehension, you wrote: " You’ve stated I’ve attempted to discredit the technology." No I did not. I provided TWO quotes wherein you called multi-sub advocates "cultists", and then in a follow-... | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? " I’m not having a squabble at all...." Got it. Erik, you are fixated on your grievances towards audiophiles who prefer something which is arguably "in competition with" your favorite thing (room treatments), and so you interpret their enthusiasm ... | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? @erik_squires So it sounds like you’d rather have an internet squabble based on exaggerations, accusations, and maybe even "distaste". I don’t blame you. That clip I posted kinda makes you want to steer the conversation away from the relative tech... | |
| Who knows how to set up a bass swarm? (DBA) Edit: I see that millercarbon posted while I was typing... oh well, hopefully this won’t muddy the waters too much...I’d suggest placing one of the REL subs along one of the side walls, closer to the back of the room than to the front, but not the... | |
| 2way vs 3way speakers: different or is one "better" Millercarbon wrote: " What is the point of a midrange? To handle midrange frequencies better than a large woofer. Do bookshelf speakers have large woofers? No. So what is the point of a midrange in a bookshelf speaker? "Good question." Well I was ... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @bdp24, whether or not a sound source behaves as a point source or a line source depends on its physical dimensions in comparison to the wavelengths produced. The Rhythmik/GR Research dipole sub is far too small to approximate a line source at sub... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @bdp24 wrote, " Duke is of course absolutely correct about sealed and ported subs not being able to be satisfactorily mated with planar loudspeakers, for the reason he cited..." That’s not what I said, or at least not what I meant to say. I was ... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience " Has anyone compared Magnepan to Martin Logan? " I have owned both, so yes, but that was years ago and Martin Logan’s product line now includes a wider range of formats. The ones I owned had a tall electrostatic panel sitting atop a short woofer ... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience If you are interested in being immersed and enveloped in the soundscape on the recording, if you want a warm tonal balance combined with superb inner detail, plus an utterly relaxing and fatigue-free presentation that you can listen to all day lon... | |
| Speaker placement and dB differences Time gating is a technique for measuring the speaker's output without including any room reflections. A specialized measurement system is required. The microphone is switched on for just long enough to capture the direct sound from the speaker a... | |
| Speaker placement and dB differences Last_lemming, you might try switching your speakers, left speaker to where the right one is, and vice-versa. Assuming there are no issues upstream of the speakers (like a weak tube in one channel), this will help narrow down what is a speaker iss... | |
| Speaker placement and dB differences Unless you are using time-gated curves, windowed to avoid room reflections, what you are picking up is speakers + room. In that case, unless your room is acoustically symmetrical across the spectrum (which never happens), some measured differenc... |
