| Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review Comparing a 2-way bookshelf to a 3-way tower is really apples and and oranges. Harman Audio's research indicates 30% of a speaker's preference bass performance, and a bookshelf isn't going to keep up with a tower there.A two-way can be used nearfi... | |
| Is time coherence more important than dynamics: Gallo versus Green Mountain Isn’t phase response dependent on seating location and room? I would think that DSP adjusted phase correction such as with Dirac Live would be the ideal solution to fixing this issue? Then you can just focus on getting the most dynamic speakers yo... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers @shadorne Aren’t planar and electrostatic drivers also technically "ringing" due to the fact that the driver’s have to absorb all of the transient energy without a voice coil? Planar/electrostatic drivers all tend to have much worse impulse respon... | |
| RIP Dave Wilson @roberjerman Most people in the 1% can't afford Wilson speakers, unless you think it's normal to spend > 10-20% of your post tax annual income on a pair of speakers :D | |
| Is Velodyne gone? @dweller I bought 2 JL F112s that both died at different times while I left them on overnight. I’ve never had that happen to any other sub. Also both JLs I had some pretty audible humming coming out of the drivers, which to me is a sign of either ... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers @shadorne What he has said is, if two speakers have the same response but one speaker has a rise of x db at a particular frequency caused by ringing, and the other is completely free from such artifacts, all you have to do is remove that 3db of ou... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers @shadorne Regarding your views on hard drivers & ringing, what do you think of the Floyd Toole school of thought on this? On AVS he routinely cites his research (which is from the 80s), claiming no one can hear ringing and FR represents the fu... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers @tutetibiimperes114 From what I read on DIY sites the B&W diamond tweeter isn't considered anywhere near the same class as the Accuton or Seas diamond tweeter. | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers @shadorne Do you think a pure diamond driver would be able to avoid the pitfalls of a ceramic driver? I understand Accuton makes 5.5" diamond domes for the La Assoluta Tidal speakers. The great expensive of making a driver like that must be worth ... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers @shadorne I think you are right about the sandwiched ceramic drivers, the new Revel Performa3Be speakers are quite low in sensitivity, officially rated at 86db. I bought one a pair of M126Be however I noticed they need noticeably more more power t... | |
| New Dynaudio Confidence coming ... They look way worse than the current Confidence. Also the price hikes are pretty substantial, and since the driver's are really just "tweaked" (Esotar 3 is supposed to be basically Esotar2+Special Forty modifications) it seems like most the price ... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? Seems unlikely. | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers JA Pulsar seems pretty expensive for what you get, I mean it’s basically off the shelf mid-tier SEAS drivers with some custom crossovers. I'm not saying they don't sound good, it just seems to be a steep asking price. | |
| Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review Worth noting the guy who wrote the review (Jerry) was selling the Personas a few months ago and said some very different things at the time, that he thought the Personas were better than the Focal Sopra 1s. Quite a backflip he's made. | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? I’d be surprised if the new Performa3 BE series didn’t measure better than the Ultima2 series. The ceramic mids are a major step up from those older Ultima2 titanium mids which were ported over from the old JBL PT series. The Salon2/Studio2 Stereo... |
