| Speakers that disappear When you speak of listening to speakers that disappeared and were stand mounted, you were most likely listening to the Bose 901s, which sit on a pedestal as an integral part of their design. To me, none of the other Bose products come close, but t... | |
| Toe in is crucial @12many But don't we want the singer to be point source? I mean, isn't a singer's mouth a defined, localized space about 2" wide? And isn't the challenge with the other instruments in the orchestra/band, where they are spread over the sound stage?... | |
| Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal? @ghdprentice How to casters hurt the sound of the speakers? | |
| Tuning a cabinet to extend response beyond & below resonance of the driver @mijostyn Re: my post above. I've read so many posts on this site that have been helpful. So total I have four 12" dipole subs covering 24-120 Hz, which I felt may be necessary for the low and sustained organ notes, as I listen to a lot of choir m... | |
| Tuning a cabinet to extend response beyond & below resonance of the driver I have followed your advice, except with a Bi-Horn cabinet to get the efficiency hi enough that the 24 dB Xover and 31-band EQ allows me adjust the Below-Fs response to keep it flat to 24. The cabinet weighs about 235 lbs. (Sits on casters), the t... | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? @cleeds & @ghdprentice Okay, I certainly stand corrected on the silver. I don't know what I had researched before that put that into my head. I have also read the articles posted by ghdprentice, and found the second article posted particularly... | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? @zlone This sounds like a physical modification that I will certainly look into, because I am always interested whenever I see or hear of something that's objectively different and makes sense. Thank you. | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? Perhaps someone could please explain to us the physics of sound transmission through copper, because it appears there is a lot of myths out there about the transmission through wire/cables. From the research I can do, copper has higher/better cond... | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? And someone above alluded to garbage in, garbage out when impressing on the importance of the pre-amp. True. And the most we can control if our source is streaming or CD. But, that applies to the earliest point in the system we can control, and we... | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? Someone noted above that the efficiency of the speakers makes a major difference. It seems to me that, mathematically, if the speakers are very efficient, then the output is more a function of the preamp, let’s say 70/30 for the preamp, and if the... | |
| Dynamic Range - the golden key to music nirvana? Thoroughly enjoyed your entire post, and taking notes for my own system. | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It Technically, to record at 128 discrete locations would require the mixer to combine them faithfully in, what, 128 to what power number of ways to choose from? And with how many intermediate audio components to decode? Or, without mixing, then with... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It As I have read through the above posts it call goes back and forth somewhat comically to me. All immersive is stereo. Everything is stereo. There is nothing else besides stereo. Atmos cannot supercede stereo. Nothing else exists besides stereo. An... | |
| Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build Thanks, Duke @audiokinesis I'll check it out. | |
| Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build Thank you Duke @audiokinesis This is really encouraging. I've got the space to do 7 cu.ft., corner-horns, and to be able to get those results with an Fs 54 gives me hope. I was afraid my speakers would be a bust. Is there a modeling software you'd... |
