| Best Super-Tweek You Possibly Ever Did The other "tweak" was moving my chair forward about 8" to fix a bass null. | |
| Best Super-Tweek You Possibly Ever Did Replaced my direct view television between the speakers with a front projection setup and wall mounted screen. | |
| How do I reduce gain on my preamp? >08-09-09: RhclamBalance on my LS7 seems to be off, wonder if it can be adjusted easily .One would assume that you've swapped interconnects to see if the imbalance stays in the same preamp channel? You changed speakers, and could have issues wi... | |
| Center Channel Frequency Response Lhf63 writes>Final question: Given that a center is useful *for me*, and that broad frequency response is desirable, am I going to have issues with a nearly full-spectrum speaker sitting in a hutch on a shelf above the TV?You're going to have i... | |
| Center Channel Frequency Response >First question: Is the underlying premise correct? Anecdotally, 60% of a motion picture soundtrack's energy ends up in the center channel. It gets more than its fair share of the musical score and effects. | |
| Impossible? Small towers, efficient, musical, loud Impossible.Efficiency is at best inversely proportional to cabinet size. Cut cabinet size in half from a reasonable 4 cubic feet (for 40Hz exension) and efficiency goes down 3dB.Efficiency is at best inversely proportional to the cube of the low f... | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? >07-18-09: Onhwy61Shadorne, the article does not prove that looks are more important than sound qualitySpeaker S went from the most preferred speaker in position 1 with blind listening to least preferred with sighted comparison.While I'd accept... | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? Revrob writes:>Interesting so do you believe people are choosing speakers based upon how they look and are willing to pay for that look even if their is a comparable speakers that cost less but doesn't look as good?Sean Olive at Harman found th... | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? >I am curious to learn about speaker cabinet design and how important does the cabinet contribute to the overall sound.It's significant.>Does the weight of the cabinet make a difference. Weight and stiffness determine resonance amplitude, wi... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub Spatine writes:>Discussion on sub equalization and placement going on today is precisely the reason I hesitate straying from the mainstream speaker establishment. Now I have more plausible theory as to why major speaker manufacturers don't want... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub Jax2 writes:>Hey Duke (or anyone else who cares to comment) - Is a flat response always necessarily an ideal target? The goal is flat on-axis response with a gradual directivity increase (or decrease in total power response). Your ears take a f... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub Martykl writes:>The Deqx idea I mentioned in my previous post is simply a "brute force" EQ solution. It allows the peaks and nulls to develop and beats them into submission with EQ. Audyssey and Velodyne (among others) also make EQ products for... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers >Also while pushing these speakers harder I found that they aren't very cohesive. I can hear the cross-over points for the woofer, the tweeter, and the mid-bass driver and they just don't come together smoothly, they sound like they're coming o... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub They don't exist apart from speakers with dipole bass where you won't get enough output to cover the last octave for things like home theater and organ music (symphonic works at subjectively realistic levels or 90dBC rock/techno are fine with Link... | |
| Why not go crossover-less? >Could the following be another reason the cross-over is placed in the speaker? It's placed in the speaker because the output transformers and vacuum tubes which go into amplifiers are expensive and the speakers which play loud with single ende... |
