| Weakest link - a different question? Without another component you have no basis for judgment. You need to do comparisons to find a relative performance threshold for a piece of gear. Apart from that you have no clue how each piece is performing. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I have known for quite some time that connectors play a role in the outcome of the sound, and usually they are detrimental. I will avoid connectors if possible. However, with the Schroeder Method the use of connectors is necessary (unless cables m... | |
| Gaia do magic to my speaker I think he is saying that $600 in footers made a huge difference. If the elevation of the speaker changed due to the footers, imo that is THE biggest reason why the sound seems better. Even seemingly small changes in elevation of the speaker can s... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Another stunning result for the Schroeder Method. This time using XLR connections to a class A/B amplifier not previously tested, fed by an integrated DAC. The results are overwhelmingly positive. Though I have tried the amplifiers in all possible... | |
| Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker? david_ten, thank you. It will be fun to see how you "adapt" to an entirely different genre of speaker and what insights you bring to discussion. :) | |
| Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both Neutrality (timbre/coloration) and detail/definition are independently on two axes, and it is a categorical mistake to think that one can dictate the other. Imo, you do not understand the audiophile terms. :) | |
| Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker? david_ten, if you have not owned multiple speakers at one time it will be an enlightening experience. The spectrum of performance is far wider than most know, and the mind can readily accept several different expressions. People get all worked up ... | |
| Switching between 2 amps , 1 set of speakers? Avoid switchers if at all possible. They are one of the cheapest ways to destroy sound quality. | |
| Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker? When you build the alternative system and get it tuned up you will question everything you think you know about your reference. But, that's part of the fun. :) | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic jayctoy, I will look forward to hearing about the results. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Four different amplifiers, class AAA, class A, class A/B have been used successfully in my systems with Schroeder Method. Avoiding class D as per warnings about potential amp instability with Schroeder Method. However, it would be interesting to t... | |
| What is this speaker doing right? Or, the Dentons are in fact better to your ears. Perhaps not set up optimally, but it doesn't surprise me that you are enjoying them so much. Welcome to variety in speakers. The LS50 is 79Hz +/-3dB. Bass MIA. I would not tolerate that much of the... | |
| Planar/panel speakers to replace Carver Amazings bdp24, thanks for the complement and perspective. Yes, I happened across the LFT-VI when I was looking for something else. A guy had them in the background of an Ad to sell LFT-4's. I contacted him and asked about the LFT-VI. He seemed happy enoug... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho david_ten, well, the comment was past tense, but the enjoyment is present tense! I typically do not discuss publicly all that is going on with speakers. The Horn 1 is still with me on loan, very happily so, for continued review purposes. Especial... | |
| Planar/panel speakers to replace Carver Amazings The LFT-8B is a great speaker at the price point. I reviewed it and use a pair of LFT-VI in my office with HSU subs. Imo the upper mid and treble of the LFT-8B is not in the same class as better ESL speakers. I also reviewed and own the Kingsound ... |
