| 2 Channel & Home Theater You have way too many amps!! Generally speaking the simplest way to integrate a 2-channel and multi channel system is to use the two channel system for L and R at all times. With a 2-channel preamp or integrated you look for a home-theater bypas... | |
| Speaker set up for more than 1 person Most commercial speakers are not meant to be pointed directly at one's head, so they do sound better with little or no toe in for a wide variety of listening positions. Generally there are 2 schools of thought. One, to use more directional speake... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @hickamore Maybe I missed something here. Have we some reason to suspect that audiophiles’ tastes in food are markedly different from those of the "ask your smart speaker to play X" crowd? Yes, I think you missed the entire meaning of my post... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @lewinskih01 I would not discount the vibration-cancelling effect of having back-to-back drivers properly wired. Please read above. This was thoroughly discussed with @audiokinesis before. | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles In the interest of full disclosure I've been partial to the Voodoo Ranger Juice Force line lately, but that's as far as I'm willing to go. | |
| Speaker set up for more than 1 person Need to know your speakers. | |
| Is my capacitor bad? Not worth thinking about. Replace them andamy other large electrolytic caps and be done for next 30 years. check temp rating too. Higher temp caps have longer life | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers There's a lot more that goes into the use of DSP than room and bass correction. They also serve to give designers better and more powerful tools for crossover design and phase correction. If you ask, do I use DSP for bass correction? Yes, abs... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. I forgot to mention how to diagnose your problem a little better. Sit as close to the speakers as you can and set the volume to a comfortable listening position for your test seat. If the balance changes significantly for the better it's your ro... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! I’m sad to learn that Verity Audio went out of business last year despite their website still being up. I must admit that while the ideas and speaker are attractive I got here in a very roundabout way. If I had had more foresight, or if I had a ... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @lanx0003 Is this your workbook? | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area I'm always going to bat for large, stiff woofers with high excursion capabilities over small woofers no matter how many. The distortion specifications are pretty clear. The good reasons for small woofers are usually more related to having limite... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @devinplombier - Perhaps some of the most elaborate internal bracing systems ever construed was the B&W Matrix. Definitely too much for me but also served as I think inspiration for some really elaborate DIY cabinet construction since then: ... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @devinplombier Are your cabinets partitioned horizontally so that each driver has its own sealed enclosure? It’s hard to tell from the drawing you posted. No, the horizontal braces are well ventilated. Since the drivers are identical AND the... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! Sometimes its really hard to bring people along on a fun passion project. 🤣 |
