| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers @larryi - The OP asked about a folded horn, which is different than a back-loaded horn. The typical example is a Klipsch corner horn or La Scala. As their name implies, they are horns... but the folding reduces the floor space. They fire into t... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers I may not be entirely correct here, but I think of folded horns as horns and TL as competitors to the ported enclosure. That is, horns gain efficiency through the improved impedance match of the driver to the air via the horn. The TL however AFA... | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase A-300 For whatever reason, I've seen several online discussions about converting Accuphase integrateds which seems straightforward. Sadly not true for Luxmans whicha re not convertible. | |
| Bass Traps Couple of things. One, taming a very live room by controlling mid and treble reflections makes the bass stand out more prominently, so this could just be mid/treble absorption. Another thing that happens is that valleys are reduced... if you had... | |
| Wasted amp power to limited range speakers...how degrading is it to SQ? Hi OP: So without a high pass filter before the main amp, the main amp produced the same voltage no matter what the sub does, and the speakers attempt the bass frequencies as best they can. From a technical perspective, adding a high pass filter... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers oh, some one must have mentioned putting up a curtain rod too, right?? | |
| Flatscreen between speakers Indeed. Some other things to consider is thick panels behind the screen. It also helps but thicker is better here as you get a lot more low notes back there. Other things to try which can help is damping the floor behind the speakers, and under... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments BTW - if you are a ROON or JRiver user then Mitch's Convolution Filters are easy to use. Honestly too hard and too much. Simple parametric EQs in Roon will solve the OP's problems. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes The digital data rides on an analog signal that can pick up noise. High-end computing ≠ High-end audio where we care how it “sounds” Doesn't matter. The question is whether that noise makes it past the Ethernet interface. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes May not matter as much for streamers since ethernet is galvanically isolated from grounds noise. Technically only if you use unshielded cables. Though the signal pairs are balanced, transformer coupled there is usually a little cap that goes a... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments So it's worth using the AM Acoustics simulator to see where your room modes are, but one possible solution would be to run soffit traps actually in the soffits. If the modes are vertically in the corners though you'll want to put them to the side... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Sorry for contributing only infrequently. A point that I may not have properly addressed earlier is that the benefit of a sub in a situation like this is not it’s bass output but the ability to move it to an ideal location. However if you are se... | |
| Is it better to get dedicated monoblocks instead of bridging stereo paired amps? Sorry for not reading your post more fully, OP. I still think you should NOT compare one brand which you know to another which you haven't heard based on whether they are true monoblocks or bridged stereo amps. Having made that part clear, a ded... | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? The drivers matter but the room and integration do as well. Even in driver manufacturing there's an issue of diminishing returns and questions about whether you can hear the difference between say a specific $500 midrange and a $50 dollar one. M... | |
| AI's Effect on Upsampling Audio Files It can process super-resolution to provide high-quality audio output with a consistent 24 kHz bandwidth and a 48 kHz sampling rate from a variety of sources that produce audio signals with bandwidths ranging from 2 kHz to 16 kHz as input. This ... |
