| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean Sean, execllent post and I concur with your opinion regarding "direct drive" versus passive designs. As has been explained many times on this board... the logic behind why an active design is generally better seems straight forward and convincing.... | |
| Best speakers circa 77-79' I don't know about "best", but I'd put a vote in for Pioneer HPM 100's. | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Don't tell Warren they have cheap drivers, he'll go ballistic! ;-) | |
| What`s with the Hyperion HPS 938 One of the biggest mistakes online posters can make against their fellow audiophile consumers is to hype product value. We've all seen it in spades on this board and others. How many times have we read comments such as this... "For X price these s... | |
| Only three manufacturers? Last week I read a review on the Meadowlark BH2's. The reviewer stated one day speakers won't be considered "audiophile" material unless they're time aligned and phase coherent. That may or may not be the case as only time can tell, but I've talke... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Opalchip, my guess is that Roy would say "Negatory" on the towel stuffage idea! ;-) I think a lot of DIY tweakers would be interested to hear from Roy regarding his choice of port placement. Having spoken to Roy several times, there is no doubt he... | |
| Who hear the Hyperion at the CEs this year ? Albert's post begs the following question....What were the decision drivers behind the HPS-938 changes? It doesn't sound to me like this is entirely different speaker model, but rather an upgrade that is being designated by the letter W. | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? This would be a good thread for Roy Johnson to chime in on. Roy, you out there? It sounds like Opalchip is of the phase coherent and time alignment (1st order XO) camp. Opalchip, have you heard Green Mountain Audio speakers? It sounds like they'd ... | |
| A plea for help from my Hales T-8's I have a very slight dent in one of my tweeters and can NOT hear any difference, degradation or anything that would lead me to believe they aren't performing normally. Would I prefer they didn't have a slight dent? Yes... am I breaking out in a ra... | |
| A plea for help from my Hales T-8's Contact Magisound, from what I understand they have a lot of experience servicing and even upgrading Hales speakers.I have the T-5's in Rosewood. | |
| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... In terms of the sound, what distinguishes a TL from other designs? Do they throw a more halographic soundstage? Are they extremely transparent and open with lots of air around the instruments? Can the listener typically identify instrument positio... | |
| The New GMA Callisto is one good looking speaker.. I was thinking finger and nail at first, but I guess a thumb will work too. I kind of prefer the human anatomical look... I've just ordered a pair of monitors that look like an ear and the stands are modeled after a nose. WAF factor .02. | |
| anyone heard the usher 6 series speakers? Bartokfan, your claim is a bit over the top to say the least. | |
| The New GMA Callisto is one good looking speaker.. I saw those pictures of the back after I already made the post. Trigger finger must be too fast. | |
| The New GMA Callisto is one good looking speaker.. Ketchup - that URl you provided is the correct picture of the new Callisto, however it doesn't show the back of the speaker, which is also interesting. |
