| sub woofer efficiency Look for a sub with a good bit of power. You shouldn't have much trouble matching sub to loudspeaker. The problem is finding subs that sound good for music if this maters to you as it does me. | |
| AudioKinesis Auditorium Beta - First Impressions Dukes 1 of the good guys in audio. Congratulations on the review. | |
| Which component has the most importance? I don't see anything in my posts suggesting products or even a mention of my company but if Ohala and Karo feel this is a good upgrade why not post saying so. I just offered experience you guys offered nothing. So folks who design loudspeakers sho... | |
| Cambridge 640A V2 Volume Control Issue What type of loudspeaker you using? A miss match could cause this problem. | |
| Which component has the most importance? So you use a $650 cap set on a $89 ea fountek? Didnt you say caps cost more that you paid for DIY kit? Still crazy but thats audiophiles;) FYI founteks 95db at 2.83v 1 M or 92db 1 watt 1 meter. Your loudspeakers 92db 1 watt 1 meter keep this in mi... | |
| Which component has the most importance? Your sending $650 on caps you best have a quality driver for if your caps cost more than the transducers your crazy to do so. Best to upgrade drivers a cap can not make a average driver sound as good as a quality one and for $650 You can almost pu... | |
| Monitors on Short Stands Yes if you angle it works better for bass can cause image to be a bit low. Energy offered such a stand back in the late 80s. Try it see if you enjoy. | |
| Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used? Duke at Audiokinesis makes a fine loudspeaker plus he is one of the good guys in audio. Sure if you purchased from him you will be very happy with the results. | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I would buy 2 fostex t500amk2 tweeters,2- goto compression mids and 2-goto comp mid bass plus goto horns and dual fostex 31.5in for bass. And DIY this together and I would have a loudspeaker with performance that no $20000 retail speaker could equ... | |
| Where's the bass? Sure many vintage are not so hi performing but some are like Altec JBL. I still use old altec drivers they test and sound better than most modern woofers till you get into the $1000 range. Im working on our new bass system with fostexs new 31.5in ... | |
| Where's the bass? Why I design and manufacture my own loudspeakers, most loudspeakers available are designed as much by bean counters and to pass WAF as they are for performance. To pass bean counters small cab, easy to build and ship,small drivers again saves cost... | |
| Replaced La Scala with...? Having owned most all klipsch models If looking for vintage go Altec, model 19 performance is superior to any Klipsch even k-horn. | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? Maybe you will see low priced models from some companys. Others will go out of business. So less choice for customers but also less choice for parts, material venders. Since venders will start closing, the ones not will charge more. Also sales vol... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? As a highly Biased loudspeaker designer I would say anything I build is gold...In my mind you can not do better;) And you know I may be right. | |
| Recommendation for a warm mid/high end amp YBA has great bass drive very detailed but easy on the ear. I owned the others inc 250 acurus and aragon. More power than YBA but YBA has better image bass drive more detail and never fatiguing. |
