| I gre out of Be Tweeters Hi @andy As some one who has made his own speakers and is active in the DIY speaker community (well, in terms of discussions) I want to say I think you are partly right, but partly wrong. The crossover designer has a lot of latitude in making spea... | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters I have recently been wondering about what I really want a tweeter to do in a system. This is true for many. I have grown out of sparkle, and air, and that seems to correlate well with smoother FR and lower distortion (when I've been able to measu... | |
| Quarantine/Vetting by Admin prior to allowing "Company Is Dead" Threads to go live PS - I have no sour grapes with Meridian. I was genuinely interested in picking up some gear, before I realized they haven't updated their HT product line in years. | |
| Quarantine/Vetting by Admin prior to allowing "Company Is Dead" Threads to go live If we block sour grapes what good is this place? Just a place to fluff already fluffed brands? | |
| Recapping The triad for life is heat, age and ripple. Do Audiophiles "accept" the fact that their gear might not be as long lived as more commercial products? Compared to what, a stove? A blender? A car?For consumer electronics I think it's the other way ... | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters @andy2 I have not heard a high end diamond tweeter, but in terms of distortion, dynamic range, lack of stored energy and smooth frequency response, the top end AMTs are world class in my mind. I've also heard horrible AMTs so YMMV. I doubt if you... | |
| Computer for home audio Raspberri pi with Volumio? :) | |
| Recapping The electrolytics are what wears out, and the 1980's are a lot worse than the 2000 era caps. High temp caps wear less quickly | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters I may not like Bose products, but no one on earth spends more both on speaker analysis and marketing analysis than they do. Like them or not, they are a model of having an engineering arm tightly coupled to consumer preference and experience. | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters In thinking about your answers, and my own experience, I have to restate my original post.There are tweeters sporting a wide range of technology I like, including Be, but the sound I heard from the first, micro-motor Be tweeters is something I hav... | |
| Which Brand 5.1 Receiver & Model for under $400 & speaker suggestions? The reason I was suggesting Marantz is the fully updated HDMI connections. Smaller models have less channels and watts but still modern HDMI. | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters By "affordable diamond" I meant the glued diamond dust domes. Not the amazingly expensive Seas, Jensen or Accutons. | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters I thought Usher fixed their faux Be tweeter issues?? The SB Be tweets sure measure amazingly well!! No, I haven't had the pleasure. :( | |
| Towers vs stand mounts with dedicated stereo subs? Hey Jack,I'm so glad you like them.:) Fritz knows his stuff, and I only heard his latest speakers in the Wyred4Sound room at THE show. And yes, the woofer in those speakers is amazing for the size, not to mention have a sweet as hell midrange. My ... | |
| Towers vs stand mounts with dedicated stereo subs? Fritz is great, I personally have heard the Be versions, and I prefer his ring radiator speakers. Nothing wrong with his design, I just don’t love all Be tweets. This is very much a personal preference, please listen to both and buy what you like.... |
