| Who is next?? According to MG, there will be no next generation of HEA designers. HEA will be dead, along with it's consumer base. | |
| Coaxial Ribbon Midrange/tweeter - Can a small midrange ribbon actually do midrange well? Erik, I assume you meant to say "ribbon" midrange. As you know, there are many planar midrange drivers---the other Eric (with the inferior spelling ;-) . | |
| Relative component value to overall SQ. @inna, I didn’t consider it necessary to include the "wink" emoji ;-) in that apparently-too-subtle joke. I guess I was mistaken! | |
| Relative component value to overall SQ. Now, if the system budget were increased to $20,000, one could then consider a pair of Magnepan MG3.7i driven by a Sanders Magtech amp. In that case, the percentage spent on speakers would be about the same as on the ET's in the $10,000 system. Ju... | |
| Relative component value to overall SQ. If it’s a simple answer you want, here it is: A- ignore the percentage paradigm (a word not part of my vocabulary until Michael Green showed up ;-). B- Find a pair of speakers you like the most at no more than half your budget (less if possible). ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Great album David! It was Randy's 3rd, and his 1st (s/t) and 2nd (12 Songs) are also real good, as is the one after Sail Away---Good Old Boys (my favorite of his). It was when he started using the guys in Toto as his recording band that I lost int... | |
| Coaxial Ribbon Midrange/tweeter - Can a small midrange ribbon actually do midrange well? The Eminent Technology LFT-8b uses a pair of magnetic-planar drivers to cover 180Hz to 10kHz, crossover free within that frequency range. I ribbon tweeter takes over at 10k, and an 8" dynamic woofer at 180Hz. The 2014 Robert Greene review of the s... | |
| Relative component value to overall SQ. Amen, slaw. CD's too ;-) . Even the radio, if you happen to have a good station nearby. | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? I hesitate to post this, as it may make me appear to be self-aggrandizing, but I've been drinking bourbon all day, so what the hell. I did a gig (at The Continental Club in L.A.) in the late 90’s with violinist Don "Sugarcane" Harris (the Don of S... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection And a very merry Christmas to you, jafant! Everyone else as well!!---Eric. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger doesn't suffer fools gladly. Not that I'm calling anyone a fool ;-) . | |
| Looking for an excellent Subwoofer match for Celestion SL600 Speakers! Celestion at one time offered an OB/Dipole sub designed specifically for use with the SL600. | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? For myself, it's not the instrument the music is played on, but the music itself. There is no such instrument as a Classical violin, or a Jazz one. The difference is in the music itself, so whichever music one prefers is the determining factor. Cl... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? In interviews, great artists of any given era will often talk about the artists from the preceding era that inspired and/or influenced he or she. Dylan is viewed as a member of the 1960’s counter-culture generation (some even view him as its’ fath... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? A number of the Rythmik plate amps (all but the XLR models) provide both high-level connections (on speaker binding posts) AND line-level connections (on RCA jacks). You can try the sub both ways, and use the method you prefer. |
