| Size of Midrange Drivers 08-25-14: DwellerThanks guys for trying to teach an old dog new tricks.I'm looking for a way to get a more life-like listening experience.You're trying to tell me why I can't have it.Nobody said you can't have midrange coming from a large radiatin... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers johnnyb53, I get it. the point is do the likes of you & Dweller get it?Once again: Tannoy smart as they are did not try to do any more midrange with the 12" driver - that was my point. Hopefully you got that? thanks.That was sloppy editing on ... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers The Tannoy Kingdom Royal has NO MIDRANGE driver contrary to what you seemed to allude to.Their new HF compression driver tweeter is doing all the midrange. Like you seemed to indicate - Tannoy is not foolish & they wouldn't put a 12" midrange!... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm I saw no mention of outriggers. Having had speakers with a downfiring port, I don't know how you can optimize the downfiring gap on carpet without outriggers.OTOH, the only thing that fixes is bass extension and the tonal balance that goes with it... | |
| Speakers that turn your analytical mind off? 08-24-14: ArhMaggiesAlanYes, and Sonus Faber. SF makes it easy to get lost in the music rather than the detail, and yet marvel at the resolution at the same time. A pretty astute balancing act.What I like in correctly set up Maggies is that (esp. ... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Kijanki: I just checked out the 6Moons in-depth review (from 10 yrs ago) of the Hyperion hps-938. The midrange unit addresses this dispersion challenge in its design. Notice that the Hyperion midrange has a large, flat dustcap. It's not a typical ... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers 08-22-14: TimlubJohnnyb53, are you saying that all 6.5 inch drivers start beaming at 2086hz....??? Actually no; it's not that simple. The significant measurement is the actual moving cone's diameter. A 6.5" driver with a large surround might have ... | |
| WP 5.1 vs WP7 ARC tube gear is the match with Wilsons. For cables, *seriously* consider Transparent. | |
| Placing Lamps Behind Speakers None of those lamps will disrupt the sound. Longer wavelengths (bass notes) will go right through them and treble wavelengths aren't long enough to make the trip around the speaker to the back. If you're worried that they might attenuate the trebl... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers If you consult the wavelength calculator, you'll find that a 6.5" driver starts beaming at 2086 Hz, whose wavelength is 6.5". By the time you get to 3Khz the wavelength is 4.5", which would be a total beam from a 6.5" driver. This beaming isn't no... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers 08-21-14: DwellerPtss: So you're saying that most of everything emanating from a symphony orchestra can be reproduced by a five inch driver?I think we're just brain-locked into the current paradigm and are waiting for our "Einstein" to show us the... | |
| critics dynaudio speakers 08-17-14: Yonigtahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSq1b_dMp54this is my system, very nice sound for me...And I love your choice of music. Time Further out was my second jazz record ever, a gift from my sister 49 years ago. I am on my 4th LP of it. ... | |
| full speaker system, thats close to rear and side 08-18-14: SchubertRega RS-3 sound good in that situation.Yes they do. They are deceptively good and easy to live with. | |
| Silverline Prelude Plus floorstanders I wish I could help, because I found these speakers to be intriguing, with features that showed a lot of promise. These things caught my attention:o Small diameter mid/woofers improve dispersion and help avoid suckoutso Tiny (5"x8") footprint make... | |
| critics dynaudio speakers Maybe your friends are so accustomed to artificial-sounding playback they can't appreciate a more realistic-sounding setup.I had some friends over for a listen to my system, and they were so accustomed to that artificial resonance at 150-200 Hz--s... |
