| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. Ar_t...The CI D-200 sound better and better. I now have them located directly behind the Maggies with 3 foot (biwire) cables. I have been running the three ZR1600 for a couple of years with no problems at all. One channel has had a 2 ohm load and ... | |
| Here's what I think about the new HD formats. As you get older the need for super high resolution video becomes less important. | |
| Spiral Horn The idea of implementing expansion of the horn by variation of the pitch of the spiral is an ingenious approach. Construction of the spiral is obviously the main problem. The spiral horn could be cast in one piece in plastic or even some mineral s... | |
| So You Think You Know Your Mozart? I missed a couple. However, the test illustrates an interesting fact. When you are familiar with a piece of music it takes only a few of the first notes to identify it. This was brought to light in connection with a law suit some time ago involvin... | |
| DIY Speaker Cabinets Barry...With returns of the respect...loudspeaker enclosures are not the perfect result of "inteligent design" but rather represent subjective goals of the designer. Most obviously there is a range of opinion regarding the best Q value. Variation ... | |

| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. Tvad...The D200 is just an "up voltage" version of the D100, so they ought to sound the same within the D100 power range. I have not gone into a full blown review because the journals, with access to many amps for comparison, plus bench test equip... | |
| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. The ZR1600 does not turn violins into dentist's drills, but I know what you mean. Perhaps the CI D-200 turns ordinary fiddles into Stradivarius violins. This is not exactly the ultimate of "fidelity" but it does sound nice, which , in the end, is ... | |
| DIY Speaker Cabinets Madisound.com has a range of enclosures. They are good quality.I disagree with Barry about how exact a copy of the original enclosure must be. Changes might be for the better. However, I do agree with him that refinishing the existing enclosures w... | |

| Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement Theaudiotweak...Not with Maggies, but I used to play that game with boxes. Ketchup...I can only guess why people think that. You are correct that a small force, applied for some time will move a hanging object. But we are not moving it but moving ... | |
| Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement Albert...I have listened extensively to suspended speakers. How many people who criticize the approach can say this? By the way, have you?Incidentally, a three-chain suspension would provide the same "coupling" to the ceiling as happens with cones... | |
| Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement Theaudiotweak...Tympani 3a's would be hard to hang. Sometime when you have the appropriate speakers and listening space (a barn would be good) try hanging them. | |
| Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement Aball...Tilting them back, which is usual practice, does not open up space below them. If you had occasion to lift a MG1.6 your concern about a "frail frame" would disappear!Albertporter...Your comment suggests an amusing game. What form of execut... | |
| Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement Theaudiotweak...The 3000Hz tweeter to which you refer has a voice coil that pushes one way on its dome and the other way on a speaker enclosure. You ask us to believe that it moves the 40 pound enclosure more than the half-ounce dome. Obviously yo... |
