| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Phusis,Neutral sound is of course subjective, however, the majority of loudspeaker designers seek to reduce resonance as much as possible or lower it to frequencies where our hearing is less sensitive. Solid woods don’t suppress resonance nearly a... | |
| How to check a speaker is Genuine or Fake I highly doubt anyone finds it worthwhile to counterfeit entry level Klipsch speakers. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? @bukirob,For the majority of loudspeakers, the goal is to have cabinets that produce as little resonance as possible (or in the case of BBC designs - move the resonance away from the midband), that is the opposite of string instruments.

| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Here is what I would say about that. How many CONCERT level instruments are made out of plywood or MDF?Answer = 0While a speaker is not an instrument in the sense that you can play it, it shares ALL of the concepts of a device, usually some type ... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? ^ They use relatively thin MDF panels, veneered on both sides. I believe a couple of their models use a combination of ply and MDF. | |
| Tried tubes and LOVED it, now what? The A88T is an excellent amp, especially the MK1 version. I bet you'd have to spend many times that $1K to find something significantly better. | |

Like bamboo and solid woods, birch ply boxes tend to impart a sound signature - typically a leaner, brighter sound than MDF (to my ears).Weird that aluminum is brought up in a thre... | |

| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors @2channel8,The Conrad Hoffman protractor includes two reference lines for measuring print accuracy, both vertical and horizontal. After printing one on standard office paper, using my cheapo Brother printer, I measured the lines with my Mitutoyo v... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors I would never trust a printed on paper protractor on a high-end turntable. I’m an architect, and deal with skilled accurate drawings every day. Even with good quality printers on good heavy gauge bond paper things can be ever so slightly off. Firs... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors @lewm I posted a link to the arc protractor software in my first post. It prints exactly 1:1 on most printers I've used. | |
| Speaker recomendation If an OP mentions anything like this:Budget is about $10-15K for an amp and speakers. ...AudioTroy invariably comes running to interject with his unparalled wisdom. | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors @cleeds The Conrad arc protractor does well without a mirror because of the thoughtful design of the grid layout. If one views the cantilever straight on (not quite from above, but as though one is looking down a barrel), it's quite obvious if it'... |
