Planar Speaker Placement "...some people even “scientifically” support it by calculating the time for the back wave to return, which does not make any sense."Reasarch has shown that the ear's response to reflections is related to their delay, angle, amplitude, and spectra... | |
New Magnepan 1.7 Owner To my ears, there is a small but worthwhile audible improvement from replacing the stock jumpers. I used thick solid copper when I had Maggies. Duke | |
Question about lower freq response. It's a lot more complicated than simply looking at cone size. Several mechanical and electrical parameters are involved, some of which tend to go in a particular direction as cone size increases, but there is a great deal of variation in these par... | |
Question about lower freq response. Docks, in general bigger woofers only give you deeper bass if they are used in an enclosure large enough to take advantage of their capabilities. The smaller woofers in the Revel are in an enclosure large enough to allow them to go down a little d... | |
Question about lower freq response. The three factors that get traded off are box size, efficiency, and bass extension. Greater cone size in the same box size often means higher efficiency, and therefore less bass extension. The box sizes are pretty close (the Paradigm is maybe 10-1... | |
Distributed Subwoofers - Options Hi Marty,My guess is you're referring to James Romeyn, a dealer for Thorell high-end guitars. Here's a link to the page for his DSA 1.0 subwoofer system:James Romeyn's Distributed Subwoofer ArrayThis system has higher output and deeper extension t... | |

Acoustic Zen Adagio Floor-Standing Speakers Set-Up Glad you found it! Duke | |
Why not horns? Thanks, Macrojack. Since posting the link, I have "met" one of that paper's authors in another online forum (he and I are disagreeing about something... surprise surprise!).I don't have any experience with either the K-2 or Everest, but I'm sure t... | |
Why not horns? Learsfool, I don't have first-hand experience with the A7, but it seems to me that there might be a step-down in response below the frequency were the short horn in front of the woofer un-loads, such that in the bass region the response might norm... | |
Acoustic Zen Adagio Floor-Standing Speakers Set-Up Five rooms and no bass. Hmmm.When you stand with your back up against the wall, do you get bass then? If so, move your chair and/or move your speakers so that you get sufficient boundary reinforcement.If you don't get bass even up against the wall... | |
The pursuit of bass... Jax2, can you borrow a sub? Perferably one with a phase reversal switch. It can be a small sub that doesn't go very deep. Try it along the wall behind the speakers, with the phase reversed. I'm hoping that its response will "zig" where your main s... | |
The pursuit of bass... Jax2, the reason I asked about what speakers you have is to see whether the port tuning could be changed (lowered) which would allow a small subwoofer to be added, preferably along the rear wall or in a rear corner. Duke | |
The pursuit of bass... Jax2, can you tell me what your main speakers are? That might help me come up with suggestions.One possibility is to rotate the speaker-listener-speaker triangle perhaps 15 or 20 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise, as seen from above. This wil... |
