| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible In case of a knockdown, go to a neutral corner. | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible I gather that the BOMB speaker utilizes heavy electronic equalization to flatten the response of drivers mounted in a too small enclosure. This is a neat idea, and one that Dr Bose came up with about forty years ago. I hope that patent issues have... | |
| Recommendations discs for SACD/DVD-A trial Tvad...Do you race your Corvette at Lime Rock? :_) | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... Albertporter...A system that can recover the most subtle groove modulation cannot avoid response to groove defects. If what you say is true you are fortunate to own LPs in perfect condition. It was my experience that even new LPs from good labels ... | |
| Recommendations discs for SACD/DVD-A trial Tvad...Strictly in terms of audio quality, DVDA and SACD are comparable, and both are superior to CD (IMHO). If SACD is "worthwhile" for stereo, so is DVDA. Buy whichever discs have the music you like.However, for DVDA, and to a lesser extent SACD... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... Albertporter...My point (which you didn't get) is that real world problems of LPs, clicks, pops, warps, dirt on the stylus and groove damage aflict even the most modest system. You don't have to spend much before these medium-related problems limi... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Bluebull...Actually, the reason for 3-way speakers is good midrange: not good bass. | |
| Recommendations discs for SACD/DVD-A trial Tvad...My listening is mostly multichannel. Why don't you beg, borrow or steal an extra amp and pair of speakers and give it a try. (If you can russle up a center channel also that would be better).All DVDA can be played in 2-channel mode.My measu... | |
| Aging of capacitors within crossover networks Honest1...NO. NO. NO. Exactly the opposite of what you said. Process control manufacturing produces product that is dead nuts on nominal, even if it doesn't need to be perfect. The process is tweeked until this happens. The old fashoned way was to... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... The subtle differences between SACD and DVDA, and perhaps CD may require a high end system to be distinguished. On the other hand, even the most lowly LP system reveals, and is limited by, clicks, pops, warps and skips due to dirt balls on the sty... | |
| Aging of capacitors within crossover networks "You don't think the person building the crossover tests them all? This reflects the old fashoned way of thinking about quality control tests.The modern approach is that the output of a production process is monitored by testing a sample of what i... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Onhwy61...Agreed. You can get deep bass from small speakers: even from the 3/4 inch drivers in headphones. However, real LF sound at high volume, such as generated by an organ, is felt as much as heard. It takes large drivers to create the total s... | |
| Aging of capacitors within crossover networks Coupling capacitors in tube amps are famous for degradation, but this is attributed to the high temperature environment and the high dc voltage they see. Film capacitors in a crossover network will probably last forever. | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Onhwy61...A better analogy would be trying for high torque at low rpm from a small displacement engine. The small engine might produce lots of horsepower, but you won't win many drag races. | |
| Spades/Bananas/bare wire? Of course bare wire is best, (short of soldering the wires to the drivers) but not convenient if you disconnect/reconnect a lot.How about the Neutrik Speakon connectors that seem to dominate Pro Sound equipment? Although I have not used them, they... |
