| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. @ghdprentice I think you're right and put your pinky finger on the problem. Ultimately recording studios don't record and mix music in the same way, have the same quality of engineers, and don't have the same budgets to make a foundation for recor... | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. @onhwy61 Exactly, I don't know how to pair components especially speakers/crossovers and amps (not talking about powered systems). How do you do it with some sort of objective rigor. @yyzsantabarbara "Figure out the room", to do that properly yo... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @viridian That's funny, I think the best argument against powered speakers is that the amps will someday be obsolete. I don't know of a good argument against active speakers (speakers that are designed with outboard crossovers). Buying an expensiv... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude @kota1 Well darn the guy with the stereo store didn't want to buy my building, he took a month to tell me, oh well, no free upgrades. Thank you both for your wise guidance, I truly appreciate all your insights. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude Also I wanted to ask you, with DSP incorporated into each amp that is connected to each driver of course we are only using the term crossover in a generic way because of course there would be no need for a crossover at all, im ju... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude So best practices in hi fidelity sound systems should be adaptive in a more complete way. Each driver has its own signal processing and power amplifier. This isolates each driver from the drive signals handled by the other drive... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Ya, I don't know why I didn't think of crossovers as moving and changing per impedance, frequency, amplitude. I never read that part of the documentation of the Genelecs, I never had that thought. Again if a speaker had an active crossover that ch... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Tomorrow I’m ordering the DSP equipment for my Genelec system the people at Sweetwater said my Protools MTRX could do just as good of job but it doesn’t. The crossovers in the Genelec "The Ones" are active so they are programable, this opens up th... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @secretguy what is a CJ? Whatever it means this thread is getting weird. | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! What is a great room, what is a bad room? I've recorded in underground water reservoirs with over 20 seconds echo and recorded in rooms that have produced 1000s of gold records, at the end of operating jet engines and in opera houses that were res... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 "Gone in 60 Seconds " was a big movie we shot in Long Beach Ca for nearly 3 months at night and about 2 months in other locations, it was very grueling. I think @thespeakerdude is for real, I don't know the audiophile world yet but I do k... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude lots of plots even polar patterns about speakers and SPL /directivity but not frequency polar patterns what could be more important. I think it shows how many poor crossovers there has been historically that the main plots on speak... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @erik_squires it seems odd to me that speakers don't do frequency plots like microphone plots showing off axis coloration at different frequencies. The importance is just the same, with microphones generally the longer the polar pattern the poorer... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 as I've said before companies like Sony, Yamaha, Harmon and the like can produce anything they want as far as quality tech. I bet someone like you could get someone like the @thespeakerdude to point you in a direction to make a top quality ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @erik_squires back when I was in acoustics years ago there was a lot of talk about frequencies riding on each other. This was when WMTMW was starting and the point was that frequencies were actually interacting nondestructively and preserving hig... |
