| 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... | |
| Folded tweeters vs. dome? what do you have on the floor, between behind and in front of the speakers?? | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Al - Yes indeed. These are all just rewrite. Since power is proportional to the square of the voltage:(0.5 x 0.5) = 0.25Now, calculating power difference: 10 log (0.25) = -6 dBCalculating voltage difference:20 log (0.5) = -6 dBIn either case, the... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency @cj1965 Where in my post did I mention power? I mentioned the relationship between output dB and input voltage. Having said that, as @almarg has alluded, both formulas are true. Much like P = V x I and P = (V x V) / RThey are mere re-writing of ea... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Thanks @almarg - I should have said "voltage" a few more times I think. Best,E | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Also, we are so far from the OP's original topic, maybe we should let this thread just die. :) | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency For a single driver : The change in dB in input voltage is equal to the change in output SPL in dB. Voltage dB can be calculated in this fashion: dB = 20 x log ( Vnew / Vold )in the case of half the voltage: 20 x log ( 1 / 2 ) ~= (- 6 dB)Also, you... | |
| Folded tweeters vs. dome? OP - We should talk about what you like and dislike about your current speakers then! That may help you get ideas. Also, describe the room, and any acoustic treatments you may have. Often happiness lies there instead.Best,E |
