| Speakers for a very large room? Rich, you might give Eric Alexander of Tekton a call. He makes speakers that can fill a big room and sound very good doing so. I think he may have a demo pair of his big new Ulfberhts for sale. Duke | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Chandybe, thanks for the additional information. I totally understand preferring to go with a mainstream brand.High power handling in and of itself will not insure "zero chance" of speaker damage if you clip your 500 watt amp. Clipping sends a bur... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range @tomic601, good observation! With a small direct-selling company, in effect the manufacturer becomes the dealer. But I think having a local dealer would usually be preferable, all else being equal.Most of my work is in prosound. Agreed that 500... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Dave and Troy raise some interesting questions:1: Is the size and look of the loudspeakers important?Few small speakers can fill a big room at high SPLs without significant thermal and/or mechanical compression. Briefly, having a fair amount of s... | |
| Just wave! Thank you once again Martin! I REALLY appreciate your taking the time to go through and explain this to me and correct my misunderstandings. Your example above of the 50 Hz line is extremely educational for me. I had failed to appreciate that a... | |
| End game speakers for Yamaha as2100 under 5k new or used "My ’room’ is a 1650 sq ft loft with really no walls and 22ft ceilings. Its not just a box, but mostly open."That is a very big room."Since I have so much air to move I may be leaning more to larger drivers?"Oh yeah. The good news is, prosound dri... | |
| Just wave! Thank you very much Martin for taking the time. Your last post makes sense to me.I was having a hard time with the second half of this sentence: "You cannot produce a half wave resonance and the output will never be in phase with the driver output... | |
| Just wave! Thank you for replying, Martin.Those measurements were made in the anechoic chamber at the Canadian NRC, so I don’t think the notches are floor-bounce cancellations.Both of the speakers in my links above are marketed as "transmission lines", and b... | |
| Just wave! @mjking57 - Thank you Martin, apparently I have some misconceptions. I hope you don’t mind if I ask a question or two.I recall many of my primitive transmission lines of yesteryear having a distinct notch in the response that seemed to correspond ... | |
| Just wave! Ime TL’s are very good in the midrange, as there is essentially zero reflection back into the cone. That may well be their biggest advantage.As for where the terminus (line opening or vent) is located relative to the woofer I’m sure that makes a d... | |
| Just wave! My understanding is that the strongest reinforcement from a transmission line is when line is 1/2 wavelength long. At that frequency, the backwave emerges from the terminus in-phase with the front wave, which gives full reinforcement. Unfortunatel... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX "That would be off topic."You made your room and your amp "on topic" when you attacked Roy and his speakers based on how they sounded in your room and with your amp. "[unreasonable and unfounded attack... unreasonable and unfounded attack... unrea... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Kenjit: "That sounds like what you’re doing Audiokinesis. You accuse me of dishonesty and question my motives all the while avoiding addressing any of the criticsms I’ve made to justify my belief that the product is flawed." So now you accuse me ... | |
