| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers Actually John Wright designed the IMF transmission lines that Bud was initially involved with. He was more involved with the Fried speakers although it's not clear to me how much. | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers guscreek; actually your DCMs are not transmission lines. It's a common mistake. Infinity did it on the 2000 model. They are stuffed ports, also known a variovents. It is a good way to get tight bass. The best known example was probably the best se... | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else Class A has positive attributes but you do give up stuff like high power often needed by some speakers and of course there's the heat. Like the real world it's different compromises which vary with your taste in sound and your system. By the way ... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers Horns and transmission lines are completely different. Horns are a way to maximize the efficiency of a driver. A transmission line is a way to dissipate the back wave of a driver with minimal reflection back to the driver and they tend to be ineff... | |
| Subjective vs. objective? Or subjective and objective? II didn't listen to the video, partly because I didn't have the time but mainly because it's a subject that has been part of my hobby for six decades and have seriously thought about it ever since. Plus I have had friends who were designers and wh... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Sandy Denny Bonnie Koloc June Tabor Priscilla Herdman Joan Baez Judy Collins There's a ton of them and too many are not nearly known enough. | |
| Is it better to get dedicated monoblocks instead of bridging stereo paired amps? If amps are really designed to be bridged they can be wonderful. Some amps are already bridged such as Pass lab amps and they ain't too bad. | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? A big part depends on who the designers are. Is the same person designing both speakers? A designer can make a huge difference in speaker performance. | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering First of all deep bass is totally non directional. I've seen audiophiles stand right next to a sub crossed at 65 Hz and tell the demonstrator the sub wasn't working. The demonstrator had to take the grill off the sub and have the listener put his ... | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical awise1961. How do you separate the affects of the DAC from the rest of the piece, the analog section, the power supply, etc. as the price goes up? | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical Kofibaffour That's not an answer. Are the differences digital or analog or both? And what are they? Plus more expensive gear usually is better if it's well designed for obvious reasons. How was the $3000 barrier defined? | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical But then what is it about ultra costly DACs that make them different, custom filters or better analog electronics? | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Most people prefer Non tight bass, especially at first listen. It sells better even though it's less accurate. That's one of the reasons bass reflex bass loading has taken over from closed box. Reflex loading has fuller , richer sounding bass but ... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? What's That I Hear? A tribute album to the songs of Phil Ochs a great writer of the 60s and 70s and a tragic figure after he lost his voice in an attack in Africa. The Crucifixion, a favorite all time of mine, is a masterful tribute to John Kenned... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound Where most speakers err in speed is the decay more than the attack. Poor decay muddles the sound and affects the next attack plus it reduces dynamics because it creates a higher noise floor for following tones. For what it's worth, Gordon Holt, t... |
