The Fine Art of Doing Nothing By Roger Skoff
good luck Bifwynne for the DEQX visit! :-) hope you have a solid story cooked up for their visit....LOL on your comments re. Roy's speakers. You could get one of this stand-mounts + his passive woofer if you don't like his floor-standers. A lot of... 
The Fine Art of Doing Nothing By Roger Skoff
If I was in start-over mode, I would like to seriously listen to Roy Johnson's time coherent speakers. Problem is they are stone ugly to me ... look like Praying Mantises. LOL.cool, Bruce! :-) I'm happy to read that the "Sloped Baffle" thread &... 
Followup-Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
Linesource, no problem! :-)don't know how the LFT-8b are made to be time-coherent. Same question re. the Quad ESL & the Sanders ESL...No experience with the LFT-8b personally. 
Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?
Thanks Rlb61. I surfed the web last night again to see if I could get some dope on this amp but it was hard to find anything. So I'm still guessing at the input power transformer size.Looking at the A300 amp profile I'm thinking it's a 1KVA transf... 
Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?
07-27-14: Rlb61Interesting views. My power amp is 225 wpc dual mono, so I THINK it's powerful enough, but I could be wrong. For B&W speakers it's not only about Watts/ch - it's about how much current the amplifier can provide to this particula... 
Followup-Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
07-28-14: LinesourceWhere the the conversation from this thread has gone is interesting. Especially interesting is the statement that Magnepans and therefore any large flat panel speakers is flawed due to it's design being physically impossible to... 
Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?
You know that it has been written many times before that the latest gear is not necessarily the better sounding gear - most often it's just different sounding gear & at other times it's worse sounding.You electronics is all good stuff. I'm not... 
installing an ARC system
disregard my comments - I was thinking ARC stood for Audio Research Corp. duh! sorry.

nice to have a partner-in-crime nearby!! :-) 
installing an ARC system
Good suggestion from Zd542.Zd, he might be in a situation where he cannot correct his room - maybe "she who must be obeyed" wont let him?I don't see why an ARC system cannot be applied to a pre/pro without room correction. Do you have an ARC pre? ... 
Sloped baffle
hi Lewinskih01,yes, with some engineering proof, that's what I was trying to say. And, the reason that seemed to make sense to me is that signal processing is happening correctly, real-time thru the passive x-over components without any interventi... 
Sloped baffle
Lewinskih01,I took the time to read the XO White Paper by Dr. Uli. In many places he makes the same points that Roy is making i.e. lower order x-over ckts are better than higher order x-over ckts. He talks about the time delays getting worse with ... 
Sloped baffle
Why not DEQX?Bifwynne Bifwynne,Roy has already answered your question some time back on this page 4. Did you miss reading it??Here's a cut & paste from his 7/16/14 post:Bifwynne,DEQX seems fine in theory, and certainly makes a positive differe...
