| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? @kalali,I know this was targeted at someone else but if you don’t have anything productive to add to the conversation you should just skip this thread and move on. If you feel real strongly about your speaker design knowledge/skills, write a paper... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Big speakers big problems. Cabinet materials that have a low resonanceare slow to eliminate them. So they store them and release them slowly thereby smearing the image. This is a fact and widely recognized.Give it up dude, you obviously have not t... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? @richopp,@helomech Thanks for the comment. I am sorry the 1.7s did not meet your requirements. I might suggest some agonizing reappraisal, to quote a ’70s 7-UP commercial.As you clearly understand, your ROOM is the most important element in any so... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? @soundsrealaudioI see the confusion now. You're using the term "resonance" to refer to both frequency and amplitude. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? All speaker manufactures attempt to raise the resonance of their cabinets since low frequencies are extremely difficult to dissipate.False. The thin wall, BBC-derived approach is to lower the resonance frequencies to the bass region. Since you lik... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? As for speakers, sorry to be grinch, but there is no way a cone speaker (except possibly these woofers) in any cabinet made from any material sounds as accurate as speakers that don’t use cabinets regardless of the materials or design parameters. ... | |
| Please help me find perfect dac for me The Border Patrol DAC. It's Non-oversampling and has a tube but it's not used in the audio path. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? @soundsrealaudioHarbeth seeks to control resonance by lowering its frequency to levels below the midband where our hearing is less sensitive. The difference is they’re not trying to reduce the amplitude as many manufacturers attempt (yet fail to d... | |

| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? I would say that because MDF is heavier then Plywood it is going to have a lower resonance point, meaning the MDF will store vibrations longer, much like a heat sink, and release it slowly causing a smearing of the imaging. Then by bracing in an e... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? The most surprising thing to me when I removed the horns from the cabinets - for reasons unrelated to the aforementioned - was the internal wiring. It was run of the mill 10 or 12 gauge speaker wire throughout!I checked out the wiring situation i... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? @brooklynyluke,Credit for the mod goes to Mrdecibel. It involves covering the outer surfaces of the horn with constrained layer damping material, like Dynamat. I haven't performed the mod yet, but having worked with similar material in other audio... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? ^By that argument, speaker cones should be made of doped skin, like an Ed Gein lampshade.Speakers are not musical instruments. Their purpose is to create a perfect replication of the recording through air movement, with minimal influence on the si... | |
| A question of Azimuth setting up turntable Short answer: azimuth should be measured at the stylus to LP interface.Ideally, you'd use something to measure channel crosstalk while playing a test record -- something like the Fozgometer, but even that method seems a bit controversial around he... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I wouldn't call the H-IIIs bright, nor would I call them warm. Pair them with a bright amp, something like an Integra AVR, and you'll want ear plugs. Pair them with tubes or a MOSFET amp and you can listen for hours without fatigue. Having owned t... |
