| Poor bass and treble. OP:Have you tried the auto configuration? Best,E | |
| High order crossovers @kestner 24db/octave slopes help maintain smooth response when you are off the tweeter axis. You need to evaluate the entire speaker, not just the possible imperfections of one specific parameter. Best,E | |
| dust accumulation on scanspeak revelator tweeters He meant goop. The sticky coating. | |
| High level speaker amp out to RCA You would need a new buffer circuit or a voltage divider. Assuming the inputs are high impedance (25k or higher) I'd suggest you try 100K in series and then 1k to 5k in parallel. This would give you 1 to 5% of the amplifier output at the sub input... | |
| FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them? BTW, a long time ago I bought WAAAY too big of a directional home TV/FM antenna. It was seriously an awesome antenna for FM as well as TV so long as it was pointed correctly. From Radio Shack so I have no more sources.My point was, don’t pooh-pooh... | |
| dust accumulation on scanspeak revelator tweeters Scanspeak makes more than one. :) The Ring radiators are super sturdy. The central piece is solid and won’t budge. Yes, if you are careful, you can use a soft lint-free brush on textile domes. The Be's I wouldn't touch with anything but canned air. | |
| High order crossovers I can say one thing for sure: They're not nearly as reliable. :) Overall. Of course, much is up to the specific design, but you have to be a lot more careful with first order slopes. Best,E | |
| Looking for a technical explanation... better grounds/shield connections? | |
| High order crossovers btw a lot of the output in so called high efficiency designs is trash ( distortion ).... which the efficiency spec takes no note of..... Maybe true, but our hearts and ears buy speakers, not test gear, so it is worth listening with your geek of... | |
| High order crossovers I'm afraid that I've heard both Vandersteen and old thiels and neither impressed me as being game-changing speakers. I feel as if low order crossovers were actually significantly better in dynamics I'd have heard it. Best,E | |
| High order crossovers I personally don't think so. One way you can evaluate this is to listen to old Thiel or current Vandersteen. They use low order crossovers (often 1st, the lowest) exclusively. Ask yourself, are these speakers the most dynamic you have ever heard? ... | |
| The floor between and behind the speakers is too often neglected ron - ASC is super expensive, GIK on the other hand is far more affordable. :) | |
| DIY Class D amps But @ricevs - Mytek just told us that only Pascal amps can handle difficult loads. What should we believe?? Golly. | |
| Closed Back: Sonorous III and Dali Sorry, the HPH-MT7 were $170. Ended up with the portable version HPH-MT5 for $100, which got great video reviews and has a detachable cable. |
