| Compairson ground rules....should we have them? In audio forums you have a large difference in experience levels and technical knowledge the sad part about the audio forum concept in general is people usually give about the same value to comments, expert or novice all receive near equal voice a... | |
| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers I run and offer some of the largest and most powerful bass systems on the planet. I do not damage my home. I use a bass horn equal to 6-8 18in woofers in ported cabinets I use this as part of my office system. While I can pressurize a large hall w... | |
| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers If your system can not pressurize your listening space you are for sure missing something wonderful. If this doesn't mater to you nothing wrong with that. But without the pressure detail across the range is missing. And the excitement and suspensi... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition Rawsons are not even close Ive owned 3 of his and 4 1st watt. | |
| Speakers under $3-4,000? Audiokinesis has a new design out in your price range its well thought out and a good deal. | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers Duke sure ya know this but transducers do not move air sound waves propagate via air molecules bumping into their neighbors. This transfers some energy to these neighbors, which will cause a cascade of collisions between neighbouring molecules. Wh... | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers Smaller drivers distort more than larger, greater thermo compression, larger excursions do not equal lower distortions. http://sound.westhost.com/articles/pwr-vs-eff.htm | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers A compromise in design for increased sales, hi WAF ,less shipping, construction, packing,and material costs for manufacturer, distributor. Lastly the multiple smaller woofers are needed to approach the bass of a proper sized transducer. Which they... | |

| Speakers for a large vaulted room? Another room that screams for horns another owner who will just place another inefficient dynamic design and wonder why it does not sound so great. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Atmasphere you said{250 watts to produce the same output}. Not true you forget the -6-7db of thermo compression that the dynamic would experience. So its not possible for a dome thats not horn loaded to equal output of a horn tweeter.It will melt ... |
