| barefootsound How about yg acoustics dual coherent the crossover coherent in both time and frequency domains? yg-acoustics DualCoherent You got me thinking about single driver vs. time aligned multi driver. What do you think about Fujitsu Ten Eclipse TD71... | |
| barefootsound Sounds like you have a background in studio monitors. What do you think about nearfield vs. farfield listening for rock and techno. Would it sound more "right" because it is mastered nearfield? Most people here listen to jazz, quartet, classical, ... | |
| barefootsound I lost interest in them after reading the pro reviews at Sweetwater. More of an analytical tool than for musical enjoyment. Ruthlessly revealing, shows everything on the recording, and if you have bad recordings speaker will show that bad sound. P... | |
| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz I think I was missing the point. You are using a subwoofer to break up the 40Hz standing wave produced by the loudspeaker? Not to produce bass itself? | |
| Stereophile reviews the active Grimm LS1C They make a big deal of the tweeter and midwoofer but the driver used in the sub is not listed. What do you think they use for midwoofer? Do you know the diameter? Maybe SEAS Excel W16NX-001 (E0049-08) 6" Magnesium Cone Woofer ? | |
| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz My room is 13 x 15. I can try to single sub aimed at the wall. Does it help if the speakers do not go below 70Hz? @deep_333 Modal peaks will ’linger’ and kill all your room resolution. Not clear what you mean. The 2 subs will produce this? ... | |
| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz The best way to break up standing waves is by using subs placed asymmetrically about the room. They must not be active above about 80Hz else they will attract attention to themselves. This approach to dealing with standing waves is known as a Di... | |
| Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with? I use single driver connected direct to the amp. | |
| No preamp in system Many ways to take this conversation. 1) I have been guilty of the "If it sounds different from what I have now, it must be wrong". Especially when I listen to one system for a very long time. The brain eq’s and compensates to adapt to the current... | |
| Looking for Advice on My Nearfield Setup – KEF Q350 + Yamaha A-S501 + Topping E30 II Not what you want but Cambridge SX50 came to mind for some reason. | |
| How to find local audiophiles I once connected with an audiophile and was kindly invited to his home to hear his system. All very expensive gear but he was playing at such a low level there were no dynamics or bass. Just old vinyl records. Made no sense and it wasn’t good lis... | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... Your mental state of mind. | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Bose MusicMonitors | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. 1) When is it appropriate to just add to an existing discussion vs. taking up bandwidth to start and entirely new conversation? I do not know. I have one idea about close-field listening. Not sure how well that will go over. Is it too controversia... | |
| No sound @rvpiano Glad to hear your problem has turned into something of a blessing. They say some of the greatest discoveries have happened by accident. I always look forward to your threads. I agree with jetter after you live with the sys for a while, t... |
