| New In 2025 @hifiguy42: BDP = Black Diamond Pearl (my favorite vintage drum finish, and the one I collect), and 24 = 24 inches (my preferred bass drum diameter). | |
| Band/artist documentaries. Posted yesterday on YouTube, a nice little video the subject of which is one of Americana music’s two MVP’s: Larry Campbell (the other is Buddy Miller). Here tis: https://youtu.be/29SPfLhJYaI?si=s6KzwVWggTakINCD | |
| Too good to be buried in a thread. @roadcykler: Wow, your reaction to the music in the two videos I posted is to categorize it as "audio show type music"? I don't find it to be so, but one man's poison..... I love AC/DC, Weezer, and other Rock bands, and have no problem with... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Like some others here, my current main loudspeaker---the Eminent Technology LFT-8b---employs a midrange driver (a push-pull planar-magnetic design) with no crossover in it’s passband: 180Hz to 10kHz, with 1st-order (6dB/octave) high and low-pas... | |
| Subjective vs. objective? Or subjective and objective? Phew, what a relief. I have been avoiding my "How good is the crossover in your loudspeaker?" thread since my post on 5-19 (too many posts by those whose responses revealed an attitude that is of no interest to me). After reading all the gr... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon: That Beat album is a favorite of mine. I saw the band live twice at The Whisky a Go Go in late '79. Fantastic! | |
| Too good to be buried in a thread. My God, what a voice. https://youtu.be/_NUlABvwVTQ?si=JLmPIzscsPVrQeEq | |
| Eminent Technology LFT 7 !! Actually, I should have said "to minimize the degree of comb filtering created" rather than "to prevent comb filtering." And then place the second panel with the midrange driver up against the side of the first pair on which is located its twee... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT 7 !! When running dual LFT-8’s, the tweeter on one of the two speakers (per side) should be disconnected, to prevent comb filtering. The tweeter operates from 10kHz up, with a 1st-order high pass filter (and the midrange panel a 1st-order low pass a... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Excellent post, @deep_333. It is only in crossovers which produce poor driver phase relationships (or other technical problems) that Danny Richie does a x/o redesign. If he finds no such problem(s), he merely puts together a parts package t... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @spenav: Yes, he has. To be more specific, he has found some speakers with crossovers that need (iho) no "correction", but can be improved by using better parts (capacitors, resistors, inductors, coils, binding posts, wire, etc.) of the same e... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? The above responses are not uncommon. Loudspeaker voicing, spectral and timbral characteristics, the basic sound of a loudspeaker company’s designs is understandable and to be expected. Richard Vandersteen has a sound he goes after, as did Davi... | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? @cooper52: Though Rythmik designer/owner Brian Ding prefers and recommends line-level connections, he offers his subs with a choice of plate amps that provide both high-level (power amp) and line-level (pre-amp) connections. My attitude on that... | |
| What is the most overlooked consideration? The crossover in the loudspeaker. I think I'll start a thread on that subject. | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? And speaking of Rythmik (correct spelling ) Audio and electrostats: for those who want the ultimate sub/dipole combo, check out the dipole/open baffle woofer/sub that Brian Ding created in collaboration with Danny Richie of GR Research. Add tha... |
