| LONE STAR AUDIOFEST JUNE 7-9 DALLAS WHO IS ATTENDING? Unfortunately that's the same weekend as T.H.E. Show in southern California. Something I designed will be shown at T.H.E. Show for the first time, so I will probably be there. Will miss seeing you and hearing your system and music selection, Calv... | |
| Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4 Earl Geddes investigated both symmetric and asymmetric placement of multiple subwoofers and concluded that asymmetric placement following a few basic guidelines was superior. Nothing against Todd Welti’s study of symmetrical placements, but there ... | |
| Planar Speakers and Diffusors Hi @ozzy, 60 inches distance from the wall behind them is exactly what I would recommend. More would be nice, but 60 inches will do the job very well. I use often fake Ficus trees for diffusion. A real diffusion panel would be superior, but unf... | |
| Planar Speakers and Diffusors @ozzy, I like your approach of diffusing rather than absorbing the backwave. Ime the backwave energy of a good full-range dipole can be very beneficial, but you want to preserve its spectral content rather than degrading it by using absorption, wh... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @ilikeclassical , thank you for posting your room's dimensions. This past Sunday I attended the SouthWest Audio Fest in Dallas with my wife, and she and I agreed on what our second-favorite room was. Surprisingly it was actually one of the SMALL... | |
| Subwoofer - is there one that would work in this situation? A Norwegian company called Sigberg Audio makes a very high quality and very slim subwoofer called the "Inkognito" which is designed to fit behind or underneath furniture, and would probably work great on a shelf below a TV. No affiliation. Duke | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @erik_squires, Omigosh yes, what a brilliant-in-concept and magnificent-in-execution speaker the Type A/III was! In 1988 or thereabouts I submitted a DIY construction article to SpeakerBuilder Magazine that was essentially a variation on the Type ... | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble Another side of the same coin: If your system is well-balanced and you add subwoofers thereby extending the response an octave or more on the low end, the net result may no longer sound balanced. In this case, it can make sense to flex your DIY ... | |
| directional speakers @erik_squires, when the day comes that it's MY bad memory in the spotlight, I hope to remember your example and be half as gracious as you. Mad respect. Duke | |
| directional speakers Regarding the radiation pattern of ATC speakers which use that big 3" dome midrange on a shallow waveguide - As a general ballpark rule of thumb, a horn or waveguide starts to lose directional control below the frequency where its dimension in a ... | |
| Titanium Voice Coils - where to get best price? I agree with @erik_squires, that you’re unlikely to find an off-the shelf replacement for your woofer that is functionally identical except for the voice coil former. I think you’re also unlikely to find a recone kit for your woofer that has a ti... | |
| directional speakers @treepmeyer, in my experience interaural crosstalk cancellation works; it significantly expands the soundstage in width and depth, and enhances the sense of being within the acoustic space on the recording. I owned an electronic interaural crosst... | |
| directional speakers It looks like there is a divergence of opinion about how wide the speaker’s radiation pattern should be. Given that the BACCH-SP system is using the spatial information already on the recording to present an exceptionally wide soundstage, rather ... | |
| directional speakers @treepmeyer posted, quoting from Theoretica’s website: "An ongoing investigation of speaker directivity at Princeton University’s 3D3A Lab, has shown that dipole speaker designs, electrostatic speakers, as well as speakers with horns and wavegui... |
