| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused The big advantage of powered speakers is when they are active, when there are separate amps for each driver. The crossover is before the amp and uses way smaller parts. But most importantly the load on each amp is way easier partly since each amp ... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Wood boxes are easy to make. Complex shapes are way more costly and the question is if the complex shape is worth the cost compared to the cost of better drivers and crossovers. Also we are used to boxes and visually accept them. Other shapes woul... | |
| Power conditions for Integrated Amps It depends on the conditioner. Many impede current flow to amps(doesn't matter if it's integrated or not). A few of them don't. | |
| Cornwall IV or La Scala vs the big boys Apples and oranges. The comparison should be obvious in seconds if you understand what you like in the sound of a speaker. | |
| New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW ! Besides the high distortion and low power and lousy frequency response into reactive loads(speakers) SET amps are inherently non-linear due to single ended topology. They compress the negative portion of a wave form relative to the positive side. ... | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point I see a lot of suggestions to change your speakers. But speakers vary more than any component and are the most subjective piece in our systems. Yes I would not choose your speakers but what I like in speakers may easily not be what you like and th... | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point Sounds like a great amp for the money with better design than most amps. Try gilding the lilly with vibration control. good isolation feet and weights or something else to damp the cabinet. It's the next step for good equipment and makes a real im... | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? If you haven't used good feet to isolate your gear, that can be a significant improvement. When I tried it under a DVD player used only as a CD drive it was like I bought a new unit for at least an order more magnitude. And while that was the bigg... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? As an ancient one I'm from the days when high end speaker cable was 14 gauge lamp cord rather than 16 gauge. It took me a while but there's no question different cables sound different and they probably vary depending on the rest of your system, e... | |
| The big Gensis are back, but what about Arion? I know the Arion speakers well. They are a stunning achievement. Find another Heil type driver combo that can go down to 125 Hz and are efficient. They sound great and are incredibly adjustable for both balance and room. This is the type of produc... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live NO! If anyone thinks recorded sound is superior to live sound(not amplified live sound) then that's an oxymoron. They are saying they don't like live sound(which is of course the standard simply by its very nature), that they prefer colorations wh... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Ultimately always make up your own mind by listening on speakers. Beware of someone telling you simply another speaker is better(especially without telling you what they think they hear). even the best speakers vary a lot and final choice is perso... | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question From the latest I've heard and been told the biggest problem is microphonics in our systems. It's amazing how the sound of electronics are literally changed by vibrations. And the largest source of vibrations is our speakers and coupling seems to ... | |
| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? Flat frequency response is desirable but I don't believe it's the most important factor in sounding live. Dynamic linearity(linear changes in loudnes from micro to macro) is absolutely necessary. Change a seat in a live concert and frequency respo... | |
| Speaker placement in a room with the best performance if it is close to a wall? There are bass nodes in every room based on dimensions. Some of these nodes are complete nulls. DSP can't fix that. Not my kind of speaker but loved by many and designed to be used in corners(even though they look conventional) are the Audio Note... |
