| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities The M-125 has excellent mid-bass. I roll mine off ≈88Hz, so can't comment on the low bass. Square wave is very good, so I'd imagine the low bass is fine.As built by VTA, the M-125's were very noisy, but can be quietened quite a bit. In my case, al... | |
| New member - Dahlquist DQ10 questions I've ordered the 80uf caps for the crossovers.IME, the smaller the cap value, the more critical the quality. The difference between mylar and polypropylene can be quite astounding.30 year old electrolytic caps may measure close to their value, but... | |
| New member - Dahlquist DQ10 questions Mike,I owned DQ10s in the mid 70’s. Mirror imaging is a good thing. Drivers outside in my room back then. YMMV. I like to set coherent speakers toed in slightly so they align about 1 foot behind my head. In a narrow room w reflective walls next to... | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. You mean, like Beethoven? The famously deaf composer?No. Composers that write music for unamplified instruments. Then hear it played in concert or a large recording studio.Only a small portion of Beethoven's output occurred after he was deaf. | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. It all depends on integration. I’ve heard fine JL Audio subs in systems where I couldn’t leave the room fast enough.IMNSHO, the sub character must mate well with the mains. As a composer friend once opined after hearing my system and enquiring "Th... | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. ...a mix of four or five different subs randomly positioned around the room would surely be the worst possible bass. Thank-you for confirming. One may like it, but it is definitely not correct. | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. The article has a good deal of useful information. I considered JL Audio, but thought the value proposition a tad lacking.Ports are something to enjoy after dinner. IMO, ports create more problems than they solve.One might find some useful informa... | |
| Seating height and bass Dial in your room herehttp://www.hunecke.de/en/calculators/loudspeakers.htmlIdeally seating position should be for the most coherent sound, but almost nobody does that because most speakers are not coherent.Buy/make stands that position your speak... | |
| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? you'll need some skills and patience.+1A few decades of experience helps as well... and not backing down to the If I were designing a recording studio, obviously a whole different approach is required.

| Affordable cables @marqmike PBJ cables are interconnects, not speaker cables, so their interaction is with the electronics.In my experience, with good electronics, they are relatively neutral.So, if a listener finds them 'wolly, dynamic killers', I'd surmise the us... | |
| Affordable cables Data?Snake oil salesmen don't need data. Ephemera and a vibe suffice. | |
| Cable septic Time coherence has zero relevancy to whether cable changes are heard. To suggest otherwise is a categorical mistake. Changes will be heard, but since the speakers are incoherent, one cannot assess anything but their affect as tone controls.In your... | |
| Cable septic @mmporche - I looked up your speakers. Resonance city, zero time coherence. Forget about cables. Your speakers are too low res to matter. | |
| Cable septic I have always been intrigued by Synergistic Research. They seem to place an emphasis on research...... into how a fool and his money are best parted. | |
