| Headphones vs speakers…. Agree with all Proper corner horns are considered to be the most “headphone like” sound by most listeners due to the least amount of interaction (reflections) in the room. I sometimes use mine in my heavily treated basement and they do sound the... | |
| Did you ever buy too much bass? +1 @rayd … Multiple subs allow one to turn the overall sub gain way down (reducing excursion/distortion). They also help to completely mitigate room modes (as long as the subs are not co-located or stacked) This typically results in the type of ... | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power @iseland I think you mean an increase by 3db requires double the power (or watts) Certainly this is not a tripling of average SPL | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power Good question! I haven’t a clue…Ive also turned down and up the volume to what I figured was halved or doubled at output but I’ve never measured the decibel levels during. Another excuse to play with one of my frivolous measurement devices! | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power I also never really understood what was meant by “perceived” as sounding twice as loud…I figured it was too subjective, but apparently there are some safe generalizations too be made with the way human ears work. @mrskeptic I agree | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power Perhaps because it has been repeatedly proven in human testing that an increase in DB (loudness) is perceived as music “sounding better” | |
| Question to those believing in speaker break in I’m of the camp of just “run em” Some won’t really change and others come alive. I had some Jbl 2226h’s that were so dead and dry and slowly came alive (mostly in the bass department). With subs it depends also. I had Eminence Labs that neve... | |
| Lost it to Black Friday! Ordered it! Enjoy! Please report how things unfold … | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius There’s always a degree of microphonics with vacuum tubes. I have a quad of tung sol kt120’s (2018 m.d.) that are loaded with it. Same year quad of jj kt88’s that barely sound when I finger flick them. Im unsure how much it has to do with the “... | |
| Open Baffle Experience “Unless you are prepared to use a sub.....Open baffle are not a good Idea....I have 2 pair and rarely hook them up anymore.” In my rooms, dual subs (at minimum) are a given… before I even decide which mains I’m going to use. If all your running ... | |
| Open Baffle Experience @audiokinesis thanks | |
| Open Baffle Experience @kenjit Im guessing dipoles can be measured in half space or an anechoic chamber (more or less like most other loudspeaker topologies.) But measurements are all only generalizations of response anyway, without the boundary interference of the th... | |
| Open Baffle Experience 3’ out from front wall is not a non starter in my world. Im certain my corner horns (the baffle face) are likely that far out from the corner (apex) so there’s that. @audiokinesis I for one would love to hear your description of why the equal spe... | |
| Open Baffle Experience Thanks @audiokinesis I should be more specific- Are all OB open back tweeter? I thought some had forward only directivity . So the heavy drapes question was more for the mid range and bass frequencies. @invalid your comment about sounding best ... | |
| Open Baffle Experience We read in this thread a redundant dimension of about 3’ off front wall as a minimum with OB. I wonder if less distance (approx. 2’) with heavy drapes behind might work… or ruin the intended response? Anyone try this? |
