| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Helo - I can't disagree with you in terms of the voice, but I will say, I just haven't found the upper crossover point to be a really clear indicator of performance either way. | |
| Going Back To A Bi-Amp Setup...Need Advice If you are using solid state preamp that should work fine. An alternative arrangement, much more complicated, is to use a miniDSP for level and bass EQ. Best,E | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Be careful reading that. There is a significant difference between the fundamental and the range. The fundamentals are the bottom, pure note. But the range is far higher. | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? @kijanki - This is probably not for you, but here is a very different type of speaker that has a lot of fans. The Seas A26. 2-way with a 10" mid-woofer and single capacitor crossover (6db/Octave):https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/2-way-speaker... | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? 1. Isn’t crossing at 2kHz or lower in the range of female voice, that has fundamentals between 350Hz and 3kHz? I refer you to wikipedia on this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_frequency 2. Isn’t crossing below 2kHz to close to resonance of... | |
| Next step: tube preamp or analog? Room acoustics?? | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? I tend to crossover at 2 kHz or slightly lower since I have only really made 2-ways so far, and don't have an issue with any coherency. One pair sits on my desktop. The near field listening is a real treat given my living room is an acoustic mess. | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Interesting! I always assumed otherwise. Especially with the Monitor Audio, that tweeter doesn't really have a lot of low end extension.Definitely not how I would do a 3-way at all, but then hey, I'm not making the big bucks designing speakers. I... | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Hi Helo,Interesting! Point me to a low crossover 3-way, please! :) Though I think JA speakers does this. Their steep crossover slops let them push the tweeter lower than most. Best,E | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! He seems to have posted exactly twice before, here is one:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/listener-fatigue-what-does-it-really-mean/post?postid=971584#... | |
| Parasound Zpre3 anyone? Hi,I thought about going that way. I ended up with an NAD 3020 D and couldn't be happier. But, big fan of the ZDac, and other Parasound products. Check your budget and needs. Best,E | |
| Keeping Spend Among System Proportional? One area you should invest long before cabling is room acoustics. Ask GIK Acoustics for advice. Their products work and are high value. Next, well, I make my own speakers so for the spend I got far better than average value, plus an irreplaceable ... | |
| Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design? Hi OP! You may want to take this question, and search for existing answers over at:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/You don't mention form factor. Eminence, Radian and others make 8" or larger semi-pro coaxials as well. | |
| Magico A3 For the money I MUCH prefer the A3 to the S1 Mk II. I think it is a much easier speaker to live with in several ways, while giving up nothing. Best,E | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Sorry, wrong is wrong. And with that, I have to move on. I have better things to do with my time. And with that, I’m done giving out free lessons in first year electrical engineering. Find someone else to insult. Well I must say some days a mu... |
