| Is DEQX a game changer? 08-24-14: Lewinskih01Just to clarify: I participated in the "sloped baffle" thread and mentioned the DEQX, but I don't own it nor have heard it. sorry Lewinskih01, I thought you were the fella who had DEQX. In that case I must have mistaken it wit... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers 08-24-14: DwellerHey! Tannoy! You've only been making speakers since 1926 so take some more lessons because somebody on this web-site thinks you and I are "confused".Stop making your $55,000 Kingdom Royal until you get straightened out and start u... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? 08-21-14: Bob_reynoldsBruce, thanks for the additional insight. Is there a reason that most speakers on the market are not time coherent? I think so -- it's way down on the list for impacting sonics. Meadowlark claimed to be in the time coherent s... | |
| How loud is loud? thanks for catching that typo Al re. the dB drop per doubling of the distance. I've done this calculation many times here on Audiogon & have always used 6dB such as this post/thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1076310141&... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers 08-21-14: DwellerPtss: So you're saying that most of everything emanating from a symphony orchestra can be reproduced by a five inch driver? A symphony orchestra has a very large range of frequencies which extend well beyond a 5" midrange driver. ... | |
| How loud is loud? 08-21-14: Sebrof08-21-14: BombaywallaIf you take 1 step closer to the speaker, the SPL will go up. If you take 1 step back, the SPL will go down. If you raise yourself 1 foot off the floor, the SPL will change Distance from the speaker matters....... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers 08-21-14: TimlubHi Dweller, A few answers.... The obvious, we use a mid range to play mids... smaller than a 4 to 5 inch will normally not play low enough to cover the entire vocal range... many drivers above 5 inch have cone break up or frequency... | |
| How loud is loud? bombaywalla,When we say at seating position, I assume we measured the db using the SPL meter while seated. At least I did. This means speaker distance is irrelevant because it is measured where you are at. Simple logic. no, I don't think speaker d... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Why, in this day of super materials, do designers still usemini midrange drivers?a midrange driver will start beaming (sound thru it will be very directional pretty much like a focused light beam) at a certain frequency.The bigger the diameter of ... | |
| How loud is loud? For me, if something's hitting 100dB as measured from where I'm seated while listening, and not just for a brief moments, but with some regularity, that's loud. loudness in dB SPL without stating the distance is meaningless. As you know, SPL drops... | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? Sunnyjim,looks like you've got a cloudy view of hi-end audio!! ;-)I believe (along with many others in this thread/forum) that hi-end audio is becoming more of a niche market. It was always a niche market (for example, my vintage Yamaha integrated... | |
| Time for some new speakers I don't know where you are located by your name suggests MN or MT. Anyway, see if you can find a Green Mountain Audio dealer nearby.These are time-coherent speakers, music thru them sounds much more realistic than any other higher order x-over spe... | |
| Custom Audiophile Speaker Builders 2nd Green Mtn Audio.Time-coherent hence sound like real music. Music thru them is often mistaken as a live band playing in the room.... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? 08-08-14: Charles1dadHi Bombaywalla,Thank you for your very clear and educational reply, it is much appreciated.Charles, welcome Charles. glad I could be of help. | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Tbg, Ptss moniker is interesting. maybe it stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome? That's why the grammar is screwed up?? ;-) |
