| Tongan Labs F6 vs Zu Audio Omen Dirty Weekend Mk.II I have been a big fan of Tony's speakers for some time. I owned the TL-D1s a while back and used them in my exhibit room at THE SHOW Las Vegas with a 45 SET amp. His speakers have always sounded very lively with excellent timbre. Like you I was al... | |
| Tortuga Preamps George manufactures the Lightspeed Attenuator. One of the the best bargains in audio. I have owned one for 10 years it seems. My old friend Pubul57 (RIP) started this thread years ago to discuss the Lightspeed:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussion... | |
| Where are the subs? Yes use the LS50s with sub array.Interesting on the passive filter. I may look into it, although I have been very happy with the Beveridge RM-3 active crossover. | |
| Where are the subs? @dbphd, I wasn’t aware of the QX 5 Twenty having that capasbility. I would certainly go with that over the Sonore/Codex combo.I was just on the Marchand website looking at their parametric EQ for a project. Interesting choice on the passive versio... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? @o_holter, I have heard both versions of the Dream Makers, the original with TAD drivers and the newer series. Yes, they are better than the Jazz Modules, but they are also much bigger and more expensive (although with anything Duke makes still a ... | |
| Where are the subs? @dbphd, We may have spoken about this before so forgive me if I am repeating myself, but have you tried a 100 Hz cut off? Does your Marchand have a high pass cut off as well or are you running the Kef’s full range?I think for Casa Dorinda the syst... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? The Audiokinesis Jazz Modules were are good example of a well done two way horn. I owned one for several years before going over to ESLs. Given the chance I'd own them again but they are no longer made due to the TAD 1102 drivers being unobtanium.... | |
| Where are the subs? @dbphd, the DBA concept and what you can accomplish with your SMS-1 are pretty much one and the same. Use what you're comfortable with or try both and see what you prefer. I have used the DBA concept with 4 subs for a few years now. No room correc... | |
| Auralic Lightning DS App I have been using an Auralic Aries for quite some time and continue to use the Lightning DS app. I have tried other apps as well including Linn Kinsky which isn't bad at all and Roon which was just too much of a bother as I didn't like how it cata... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs @atmasphere, thanks for mentioning the RM-200, it unfortunately is not as well recognized as Roger's other designs, but it is quite a work horse. It is also fully balanced from input to output, the only time Roger made a commercially available bal... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel The DD amps are not designed after the Acoustats other than they provide the requisite voltage to the panels. A while back Roger designed a drop in board for the Acoustat amp that used 3 x 6DJ8/6922 for a tube input. IIRC his amps also use this in... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel @bdp, thanks for pointing that out and sorry the mistake. The DD amps are extra. If purchased without the DD amps a separate power supply for the panels is included for use with other amplifiers. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel @mijostyn, yes that includes the direct drive amps and bass amp with active crossover. As for why it's not on the website the main reason that Roger doesn't have the time to bother with it. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel @bdp24, the Beveridge amps were not Roger's design, only the RM-1, RM-2, and RM-3 which mad up the rest of the components in the Beveridge system which if I recall was the 2SW. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel @noble100, my speakers are the Model 2, mijostyn has the 2+2. I doubt my speakers go down to 28 Hz, but regardless I am cutting them off at 100 Hz. IIRC I think Duke recommends running the mains full range and set the frequency on the Swarm accord... |
