| Monitor SPL vs. Full-Range SPL The point is, if a speaker has increased bass output because of increased FR range overall SPL will be higher. Consider this, if speakers are set to 80 db playing a 1kHz test tone, SPL will not be the same when playing white noise since the full r... | |
| What's up with the 'Piano' gloss???? As a woodworker you must realize the surface must be PERFECT with a gloss finish. Any waves or ripples will be accentuated by the shiny finish. Just look at restored cars. You won't see many that have mirror smooth finish.Easier to cover up defect... | |
| Are dome midrange better than cone designs? I really like the ATC's I have heard. One problem for me is the need to be played loud before they come alive. Shadorne's ATC link also mentioned this.Is this true with all dome mid's? I only listen at 60-70dB and 75 is getting pretty loud. That i... | |

| Are dome midrange better than cone designs? I was really enthused until I read Jtgofish's problems with imaging.It is pretty simple to put the 4" Flexbar into a pre-made .375 cu-ft Parts-Express cabinet. Mating a good tweeter may be the problem as Audio technology recommends an x-over of 6k... | |

| I've reached the beginning of the end - I hope I got rid of my system because the bright sound was damaging my hearing. I could hear to 20k before but now 16-18k. Brightness aside, it did not sound right to my ears.I got a simple system to "get by" with and have yet to find the perfect sound.H... | |
| Vibration absorbing material. "Looking for a way to isolate vibrations in my wood enclosed stereo cabinet"You like the sound these vibrations make when amplified through your system? | |

| Getting off the merry-go-round – AFRAID TO??? Music reproduction is an art form. There is no right or wrong audio just like there is no right or wrong oil painting. You get tired of one artistic presentation and go for a different one. No end to it. | |
| Upgrading Entire System...please help What was your relatives stereo? If that sound impressed you so much maybe we can come up with a cheaper, but similar sounding, system. | |
