| Top brand speakers In general I try to avoid internet squabbles with fellow industry members because I think it's bad form. But I will toss out a few thoughts on the concept of unearned authority, which is something that arises beyond these walls as well.In any fiel... | |
| Top brand speakers "People in this business know... that I can create a superior endresult compared to them. I do not have to proff this anymore. They know it!!"Kindly do not lump me in with those who allegedly acknowledge and concede your claims.Dukedealer/manufact... | |
| Top brand speakers Welcome to a wonderful hobby! Music can transform you, it can take you to a place where your soul speaks to you, and music well-rendered does this best. While live music is the "reference" that we aim for, it's often easier to listen deeply to rec... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall If there is sufficient time delay between the first-arrival sound and the onset of significant reverberant energy, we can have the best of both worlds - imaging and envelopment. Reflections done right are beneficial from the standpoint of envelopm... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall "Early reflections off a wall is what compromises imaging usually."Agreed.The ear/brain system uses the time delay between the first arrival sound and the onset of reflections in judging the distance of a sound source ("image depth"). This isn't t... | |
| Subwoofer's Front Firing vs. Down Firing It is literally impossible to hear a subwoofer in a room without hearing the room. By the time your ears have heard enough full cycles to detect the pitch, those long wavelengths have been around the room several times. Point being, it's always su... | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades Hi Ctsooner,Thanks for your kind words. I don't want to wax too commercial here, but since you asked, I have models ranging from 2.7 grand to 10 grand. I have just started selling my most advanced models (not yet on my website) through a dealer ne... | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades Since imaging is a top priority of NYaudio98, let me toss out a few comments.Good imaging would include two attributes in abundance: Precise localization of sound sources, and a sense of immersion in the acoustic space of the recording.To a certai... | |
| Panel Sound Part of what sounds so nice with a good dipole speaker traces back to its dipole radiation pattern, and what it does right as far as the reverberant field when set up correctly.Let's start with a quick look at the sound fields in a good recital ha... | |
| Dybaudio Consquence Some years ago I read an AES paper on the subject of vertical imaging. They did experiments where different tones were played though a stack of small speakers hidden behind a curtain. The tone would be played through just one speaker, which the li... | |
| Speaker recommendations for new venture Imo multiple speakers done right might be a better solution, depending on what the OP is trying to accomplish. But done wrong, they would be a worse solution, from what little we know (a TV screen is sometimes involved). If multiple speakers are u... | |
| Budget $3000-3500 new or used The Genesis Model 500 is a tough act to follow under the best of circumstances, and for $3.5k it's really tough. My recollection is that it's poly-directional over most of the spectrum, with a rear-firing tweeter, dipole midrange, and then essenti... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? "I think there is some heavy-duty "marketing" going on with Sjofn's specs. A standmounter with a 5.5" driver and a small-moderate sized cabinet is not going to do 28Hz on the bottom."The claimed low-end extension is dependent on the speakers being... | |
| Speaker recommendations for new venture The inverse square law (SPL falls off with the square of distance) applies only to the direct sound. In a room, there are two primary components of the sound field: The direct sound, and the reflected or reverberant sound. Unlike the direct sound,... | |
| Speaker recommendations for new venture I do a fair amount of work on the prosound side, in addition to my home audio designs. My speakers are used every weekend in live gigs all over the country. The key to high quality sound in a big room, like your 24 x 90 foot room, is speakers that... |
