| Small dedicated listening rooms "My thought is that you need to listen in the near field. You mitigate many of the challenges and sacrifice very little. It is easy to set up, imaging can be stunning and the level of impact and immediacy is thrilling."Excellent suggestion!The se... | |
| Small dedicated listening rooms In my opinion there are two main acoustic challenges presented by small rooms, and these are really the same issue just different parts of the spectrum.Most obvious is the increased boundary reinforcement in the bass region. This can be addressed ... | |
| DIY ?uestion @trelja , Thank you very much!!I would love to see plans for the D and C, and the C's crossover!!Yeah the series crossover is a strange beast at first glance! Instead of blocking the lows from reaching the tweeter and the highs from reaching ... | |
| DIY ?uestion Thank you very much, @trelja. I made a lot of sawdust trying out different transmission line ideas in the late 70’s and 80’s.You wrote:"Bud Fried considered it critical importance to select a driver with as low a Qts specification as possible. Ove... | |
| Siegfried Linkwitz Passes Rest in peace, Siegfried. And thank you for your kindness and brilliant contributions. | |
| DIY ?uestion @trelja said: "True transmission lines (TL) handily outperform both bass reflex / ported and sealed and aperiodic bass loading configurations."I agree that good transmission lines sound wonderful, and have greater potential than either reflex or s... | |
| High order crossovers @ trelja,Wow, THANK YOU SO MUCH for that in-depth education!! I think you have just explained something I observed years ago but did not understand.In the course of my own crossover builds, I found that a cluster of resistors paralleled to get a ... | |

| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Review Kenjit: "There were no measurements. He just stuck a 0.21mh coil on the woofer and called it a day"If Roy says he used measurements in the design process and you say he did not, guess who we’re going to believe?Kenjit: "No baffle step, nothing."I ... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Review @kenjit : "I think they are reasonable questions which require answers."You clearly have an agenda. Let it go.Kenjit: "Like what?"The kinds of measurements and analysis he conducts, and the time coherent results he gets. Imo the things he can do w... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Hi Prof,Again, thanks for replying.Imo the size disparity between a 6" midrange cone and a 1" tweeter dome make it impossible for such a speaker’s off-axis response to have the same spectral balance as its on-axis response. At the crossover freque... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Review Kenjit, I looked at your previous posts. How long are you going to treasure your grievances about a speaker not working well in your room? As my granddaughter would say: "Let it go."I compete against Roy. I have lost sales to him in the past a... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @prof wrote: "I’ve never heard more room sound contribute to more accurate timbre."Thanks for replying!Many speakers do not generate beneficial room sound. Most speakers’ off-axis response has a significantly different spectral balance from the di... | |
| High order crossovers Thank you Roy!! If you see any mistakes in my posts, PLEASE correct me! Roy makes the best-imaging speakers I know of. If I hadn’t crossed over to the Dark Side and become a manufacturer, I’d still be a dealer for him.Anyway just to clarify a bit,... |
