| Single driver speakers - opinions Here are a couple of examples of small driver but still reasonable bass if volume is not too loud:SampanSampan FTL | |
| Single driver speakers - opinions I get confused with S-D phase angles but even S-D apparently change phase.Here is one Jordan JX-92 so I don't know if they are as good as they claim.What effect does this have on the sound/ Maybe Atmasphere will know.Also people have noted that a ... | |
| Single driver speakers - opinions You have to live with single driver for a while. Then listen to multi-way to appreciate the degradation in sound.Also I am not getting any H-F boost. That is more a characteristic of high efficiency single driver.A small room is helpful to boost t... | |
| Single driver speakers - opinions You would laugh if I told you what I use and would never even bother trying it if I did.For me, the most practical "single driver" design is a standard cabinet and full range from 40hz-5-8,000hz with a supertweeter above that. Better than adding t... | |
| Cheap Tweeks I would recommend these:cheap tweaks(Although these may not be the same as cheap tweeks) | |
| the process is more challenging than the result Being competitive, and trying to outdo yourself or other people is a trap. Clever advertising and peer pressure fuels it.It's a fun hobby to play around with different sounds but when it leads to $10,000 per I/C, that's taking it too far IMHO.You ... | |
| Food: What does the typical audiophile eat? Hi, Guido, thanks for the apology, I was referring to Kal. | |

Guess you guys are missing out ;-)Launche, I liked your post."Sweet Jesus, I haven't laughed this hard in a couple of days."Back at you. I guess I see some iro... | |
| Best next step to upgrade sound? Blindjim, I'd say that's all worth at least a nickel. | |
| How loud can I 'safely' play my Dynaudio Focus 140 Mr. Shadorne should love this. Active pro monitors are spec'd for loudness, unlike your garden variety audiophile stuff.Dynaudio BM-5 = 116 dB peakShould be able to play at 100-105dB all day long.GO ACTIVE!! | |
| Will new Class D trump a vintage Class A/AB? No, unless you only listen to frequencies under 80hz. | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Shazam "and what things will agitate you or cause more damage. ".Interesting question.If someone has a 3dB loss at 5-7,000hz will boosting that range cause additional damage OR annoyance?I would think that would be a matter of absolute volume leve... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? I would open up a store (like maybe a soundproofed store in a shopping mall) where I could sell a speaker that could play really, really loud with reasonable sound quality. Add in dual sub's for customers who need even more bass.Play it loud, play... | |
| What makes up an I always thought of it as hi-resolution. Problem is when hi resolution gets in the way of the music. Then is it still hi-end?Also a matter of opinion and comparisons. What were hi-end speakers in the 60's would be mid-fi at best today. |
