| What matters most in speaker design? I originally thought flat frequency response was a primary goal. And it is, IF damage done to achieve this is minimal.BUT having listened to single driver speakers with no x-over and then adding different tone controls, [DEQ24/96, Parasound Z-pre,... | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line What's wrong with Tesla? Seems like a lot better car than a Chevy Volt. | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line $40,000 for an amp and STILL have no peace of mind!How much do you have top spend to be able to relax and stop worrying about it all? | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? All too often, hi-end audio over complicates things to justify a higher price tag, no other reason.As for paying $4,000 to get from 98% to 99%......well some people just don't know when it's time to quit IMHO. | |
| Can I hear from some Emerald Physics Cs3 owners Sorry, I guess not =:0~ | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? How about tube socks? | |

| Why We Need Audiophiles ? But I don't get how he ignores all the pops and hisses but then listens so intently for a pin drop or virtually inaudible changes with a $4,000 cable. | |
| Why magic at 80 db? Low-efficiency speaker like ATC and Dynaudio have this problem. Some with heavy cones need more juice before they come to life too.Just food for thought, but for anyone who thinks 80dB is quiet, try 80dB with active (no passive crossover), line ar... | |
| Recommended Bookshelf Speakers $1200 Wow, another Role Audio fan! Not sure if they will play loud enough for rock music though.I would give Ascend Acoustics CBM 170 a listen. Don't rule them out just because they are cheap. | |
| Active monitors, 3k used, great nearfield sound Second Shadorne's rec. of Genelec. I only heard them in the store but felt they bettered Dynaudio, KRK, Mackie for natural, non-fatiguing sound. | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? I don't understand how a 4" driver, even if has high efficiency due to horn loading, can move enough air to have much dynamics. A 12" driver has TEN times to surface area, not to mention much, much higher Xmax.(Forgive me but I have not read every... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Rockadanny, sure.... if people would do that. But they aren't so it's just another -list your favorite- thread. | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Audiofeil, I agree. Just feeling cynical today (I wonder if there is a speaker for that). | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? 1) I disagree about horns efficient = more dynamic based on actually hearing them. Yes, they can play LOUDER as they are more efficient but as for actual dynamic contrast (difference between musical peaks) ATC active 100's were far more dynamic an... |
