| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? 08-08-14: Charles1dadBombywalla,I always find your comments interesting and informative. This topic is no exception, I just came across it very recently. Are first order crossovers a prerequisite for proper time alignment? Would a single driver cr... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Hi Melbguy1,Somehow the conversation diverged into talking more about the S5 than the original topic of "Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker?". Sorry about that. I'll stop talking about the S5 & concentrate more on the OP's topic. You... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Is a speaker either time coherent or not? Or can there be different degrees in between? And are (objective) measurements more important than (subjective) listening in assessing the overall coherency of a speaker?Melbguy1either a speaker is time-co... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? 08-07-14: Melbguy1Bombaywalla, I acknowledge your fair comments. However on the one hand Magico are telling me the S5's are time coherent, and on the other you are telling me they are not. One might ask who do you believe? May I pose this question... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Melbguy1, there are no step response measurements for the S5 to verify what you are saying. All their other speakers are not time-coherent so it's reasonable to assume to that the S series would not be. But, like you wrote, I could be wrong. Anywa... | |

| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? 08-05-14: ChayroIt's obvious that the better the distortion specs, the moreyou will like listening to the speakers. That's the wayeveryone does it.

| Please advise on second amp for my B&W 801 S2 The VK-500 has a low input sensitivity of 87 ish, so I need to find out the level on the VK-60. I was interested to see if anyone was currently using this combination.Brutus123no, that's not what I meant. I meant what is the max input signal in vo... | |
| end of an era ...... too darn bad that Joule-Electra is shutting down production. :(And, I agree with Mitch4t that the original owner passing away or retiring should never be the reason to shutter the business. It certainly looks like economic feasibility - most peopl... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers My preference is always for highly musical, timbre-ly correct and non-fatiguing. Any ideas?In this case you want a Green Mountain Audio speaker. These speakers are 1st-order x-over & are time-coherent. Thus, they will always be highly musical,... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? the answer is an EMPHATIC 'yes'! * distortions in the electronics ruins your listening pleasure thru the speakers..* distortions in the speaker itself ruins your listening pleasure thru those speakers.* distortions caused by the room ruins your li... | |
| Please advise on second amp for my B&W 801 S2 make sure that the VK-55/60 has the same input sensitivity & the same (voltage) gain as your existing amp so that both amps will drive the speaker inputs with the same voltage level. |
