| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? robd1 : Um, not sure what speaker / control he is talking about but yes, speakers which have low bass impedance tend to sound limp / gutless unless driven by a beefy amp, which often implies SS. Notice all the caveats you haters before you come at... | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? I want to make it clear, this thread is definitely not about perfect amplifiers. :) It is about amplifiers you fall in love with. Best,E | |
| Advantages of beryllium? @willemj yeeeap. And there is nothing wrong with buying speakers that make you feel younger! :) but call it what it is. Best,E | |
| Advantages of beryllium? I don't actually have a problem with smile shaped FR curves, as they are ideal for low-volume listening. I also don't have a problem with buyers who like a particular flavor of speaker.Notice what JA likes is more than a smile, but a hype curve. T... | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? Sean:Really good question! I’m afraid I don’t know of strong research in this area, so I can only guess that in some ways, a good amp does not ruin: Crosstalk PhaseAmplitudeChannel matchingIt may be some amplifiers actually change one or more of t... | |

| Advantages of beryllium? I'm sorry, did we want to talk about the price of speakers, or their sound quality? I'm confused. As I've written, JA loves speakers that sound like hearing aids. If that's what you like, feel free. https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/0... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? I heard TAD Be drivers in the mid 1980's. No way I could sit and listen to one then.Maybe it was the electronics (Haffler) but ouch! Best,E | |
| Advantages of beryllium? Hi @johnk My main speakers use the Mundorf AMT's. I wouldn't call them the best... but I would call them among the very best. :) Implementation and room matter a great deal too, but I absolutely agree they are among a small, stratified set of twee... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? kosst : Sounds way too much like work. Buy whatever you’d like to listen to, but I’ve never seen specs or heard a micro-motor tweet perform as well as mid-grade tweets from SB, ScanSpeak, Seas or even Peerless. There is a popular ring radiator fro... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? Micro-motor tweeters are just tweeters with the bare minimum motors to work. Focal as well as B&W are proponents of this approach. The motor is no wider than the dome and usually less than half an inch thick. Despite assertions otherwise, popu... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? Per the web site, it is Al/Mg. Nothing against Al/Mg but Focal has this fetish for micro motors which are never as smooth or dynamic as the large motor variants. Though lately ScanSpeak has produced some tweets which are close to the same motor si... | |
| SVS PB-16 Sub Also consider Hsu. I think they are a better value. One place to do research is at the data-bass.com site. I will tell you that room and speaker integration are hugely important. I would never use a sub without EQ, either built in or external. The... | |
| Which Speaker Manufacturers (Besides ATC or PCM Feature Large Soft Dome Mid? Probably the DIY Forum is a better place to search or ask:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/I think I've seen a few dome midrange threads before.Best,E |
