| 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... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? So, basically every speaker made is going to be someones favorite. What does this thread accomplish? | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Well, wouldn't the cable which causes less grunge (damage) be the preferred cable?If a cable which distorts the sounds is preferred, is it fair to say that it's covering another flaw somewhere else in the system? | |
| My love of music is killing me. An emotional injury can be worse than a physical injury. I would suggest 1) Eat well 2) Exercise 3) Write your thoughts down. Take care of yourself, you couldn't be good to a nicer person. | |
| Why does mixing quality'n'crap sound so good? One word - synergy.Or as one wife said "It all sounds good, just PICK ONE!!!So your speakers were L200 and the interconnects were L925????? HHhhmmmmmm | |
| Audio Magic stealth - Really that good? So has there been anything better to come along? I value clarity and conditioners like Exact power are said to change the sound - because of the transformer maybe. | |
| Audiophile Addiction Kijanki, thanks. I'm glad you've found the Holy Grail. I always seem to be 1 step away.... . . . . | |
| Ten audiophile commandments 1) Have fun.2) Enjoy the camaraderie of fellow audiophiles. | |
| Audiophile Addiction I enjoy playing with sounds -that's how I describe my time with hi-end audio. I would get real upset, real quick if I was going after the Holy Grail because:1) It doesn't exist, IMHO2) for the vast majority of the time, any stereo sounds fake comp... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? This happens every summer when it gets hot and humid. Sound gets sort of dead and mushy. I thought it may be thermal compression of the driver but no way with my new speakers so it's either:1) paper cones, even when treated, get soggy from humidit... | |
| Compairson ground rules....should we have them? Old timers here may remember Sean describing how components sounded solely based on measurements and how it was designed (layout, type of components, etc.) To that end, auditioning becomes less meaningful and even irrelevant. Some designers of com... | |
| How many electrons? With all these electrons it makes sense, IMHO, and an old-school repair guy and confirmed:Proper design of audio signal should be at line level, NOT passive crossover components in the speaker.Geese, Wilson et/al charges umpteen million dollars fo... |
