| Legacy Signature SE without dual AMT twitter The speakers are essentially the same in passive operation (If comparing speakers from different time periods there may be further enhancements to the newer ones; you would have to check with Legacy Audio), but the newer tweeter system is superior... | |
| What is it......... Further, I realize that there are some good car systems, so ozzy, your point is well taken. Yes, sound quality can be terrific in a car. I choose to neglect that for several reasons; I have a very short commute and could even walk to the office if... | |
| What is it......... Sorry, I cannot relate to this post. I cannot think of a single instance where any music played on an inferior system, much less a radio, was more moving, compelling, soulful, etc. than on my finest system. Imo, emotion or soul of the song is not ... | |

| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure david_ten, thank you, I appreciate the appreciation! :) I did not mention the review with any intent to draw you away from your current amp, just for general info to the community. It IS shocking, how fundamental a shift in character of sound attr... | |

A couple of thoughts based on system building...Regarding whizzer cones, having used concentric, dynamic, hybrid dynamic, and full range hybrid speakers, I find whizzer cones to be no impediment to consideration of a speaker... | |

| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? It is not only ethical to buy from a dealer who supports with knowledge and demos, but they can guard you from rookie errors that could blindside you.I supported dealers prior to reviewing, and after years of that had both good and poor experienc... | |
| Speaker sensitivity, impedance, and calculating amp power There are two kinds of audiophiles when it comes to amps and this subject; the good enough type, and the overkill type. The good enough type look at the rating and usually stay within that range, i.e. 50-100wpc as good enough. The overkill type, s... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity I suspect there may have been something wrong with the review pair for that to be effective. I reviewed the LFT-8A/B for Dagogo.com and owned it, even did the "stacked" pairs for a while which was fun.NO way that speaker gets mediocre rating for ... | |
| Is Parasound on to something? Or, How important is crossover management in preamps? No amount of tech discussion or specifications analysis resolves such questions. Listening comparison is the final arbiter especially since preferences vary so much between hobbyists. Be aware that if you ever wish to upgrade and sell speakers ... | |
