| monitors....... @ckr1969 So, you start a thread that's essentially market research for your business without disclosing the fact that you are a speaker manufacturer. At the same time, you maintain a web site for your business that manages to say absolutely not... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @ditusa Thank you Mike for the history lesson! I actually have a soft spot for consoles. The Paragon looks perfect. It has definitely been at the top of my bucket list but they're thin on the ground! 🙂 | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? There are two very different implementations of non-passively crossovered speakers. - Active-crossovered speakers like @phusis discussed necessitate each driver be individually amplified and controlled by a line-level crossover, which may be eit... | |
| Sellers Beware Somewhow he did not understand that if he makes an offer on A'gon, and it is accepted, he is obligated to follow through with the purchase. When you make an offer on ebay, it is 100% binding, that is, your credit card gets charged and shipping ... | |
| Network Switches If you're worried about "ground plane noise" or other such nonsense made up by people determined to imbue digital audio with analog traits just because they understand analog on account of having been doing it for 70 years, whereas digital frighte... | |
| Clone DarTZeel amps? The Chinese are capable of making outstanding quality knockoffs. You can buy Birkin bags even a LVMH investigator isn’t sure it’s a fake. But they cost several hundred dollars, not $40. The fake Dartzeel you’re looking at is the audio equivalent... | |
| My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours? Fo Q tape 🤣 | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I'm curious, are folks experimenting with tantalums in your crossovers? | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @erik_squires Exactly. Electrolytics are usually chosen for cost considerations, but sometimes they're there for a good reason. When I rebuilt my crossovers I pulled out those big caps, which tested fine (predictably), so I mounted them right ba... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @invalid You're right, Solen makes a 200 uF cap that you would only need eight of to make up a 1,600 uF bundle. The parts cost would be about CAN$700 or US$500 per side, plus the bypass you'd want at the center of the bundle. This definitely so... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @invalid @sns My crossovers (which I rebuilt and modestly modded) include a 600 uF and a 1600 uF in the bass circuit, both electrolytics. About the largest film cap I can find that would pass your audiophile muster is a 35 uF Audience Auricap... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Danny Richie aside, there is no doubt passive crossovers can be made to improve sound quality. Claims of amazing sound quality differences are quite plausible, though often relative to the severely degraded originals. Crossover components live ... | |
| Thiel Owners duramax747 Thank you for a great story. Fingers crossed :) | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @sns I understand and respect low watt, although it’s not my thing at this point in time. Have you auditioned Hørning speakers? They’re designed for very high efficiency; the Ephrodites have 10 drivers per channel, yet their crossovers consist... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? We are respectful and inclusive so yes, everything is acceptable. However, an active crossover with DSP and direct amplification is most likely to yield superior results in terms of overall sound quality. |
