| I made a pair of Voigt pipes and Sure, if the Virgo's woofers cross over at about 30hz. But I doubt they do. Stereophile said in their 1995 Virgo review:"So it's probable that the peakiness between 200hz and 300hz is due to some kind of internal standing wave phenonmenon."Maybe y... | |
| I made a pair of Voigt pipes and Sean, I think you're ready for the big time. I vote to kick out Sam Tellig and have "Sean's Space" instead.I would think adding wings would make a speaker sound more boxy. Maybe I'm wrong and have a lot of conflicting listening experiences but the... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo III compared to the SF Cremona Virgos are more neutral. Maybe a bit too analytical. The side fired bass drivers aren't as coherent as if they fired forward and can be a problem with room walls as well.Cremonas are voiced like a musical instrument and have some flavor of their o... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers So the conclusion to this post is that most people haven't been educated to the sound of high-end audio? The uneducated listener will look for big bass and how loud it plays? Probably true.I may be a more educated listener now than 3 years ago whe... | |
| I made a pair of Voigt pipes and Interesting post Sean. | |
| Every new substance is a candidate isolation tool I agree D, I think it's the higher fat content of pork vs. steak. If you want clearer sound, you've got to cut out the fat! | |
| Minimalist companies: 47 labs, Scott Nixon,Decware Epos and Axiom speakers with ~ no crossover. Carolinaaudio.com with Jordan single driver speakers.ELF 1.5 from Creative Sound in Canada does not have the rising response curve of the Jordan driver but I haven't heard the Jordan to compare actual s... | |
| B&W CDM 9NT vs 804's CDM 9 have more bass, tweeter is less smooth, and overall sound is less refined. N803 is better for bigger room, N804 for smaller room.Get some used 802's for the $5,000, forget the N803. I agree with RLB61 the 802'3 with the bowling ball midrange... | |
| Denon D-M31 CD-Receiver For the same price, Yamaha mini-system is better. It plays louder and clearer. Bass is a little too enthusiastic and thumpy for my taste. But it is a larger box than the Denon.So I'd suggest letting her listen to both at Tweeter's or Ultimate Audi... | |
| Does "Non Compensated" Reviewing Still Exist? I've concluded audio is impossible to figure out. Better, worse, or just different, who knows? Heck, many times the differences amount to not much more than a feeling or perception. Getting real, defineable improvements require *large* increases i... | |
| Does "full range" really mean anything? Winegasman, it's a lot cheaper to fudge the low end than high end. As one dealer told me, bass is related to cabinet size. Forget spec B.S. You are not going to get Quality, low distortion bass from a small speaker cabinet.From my subjective exper... | |
| Tok20000 is going pro "hard disk based digital playback system." This is a great idea, glad to hear it's coming soon. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Do you get more excited about a new CD/LP or component? If the components are more interesting than the music it is hard to get off the upgrade wagon. I was looking through the Music Direct Catalog which sells everything from Creek to exotic stuff... | |
| Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory? Thanks Sean. Maybe Sterophile could hire you as a columnist? I can just imagine the contrast with Art Dudley. | |
| Are CD's made the same way? Thanks for the information |
