| Active Not powered stand mount loudspeaker recommendations Active speakers frequently have amplifiers built in. It's just that they have active crossovers between the source and the amplifier. If you have a pair of two way speakers, you need 2 channels of amplification in each one for active, but only o... | |
| Active Not powered stand mount loudspeaker recommendations @erik_squires a powered speaker that is not active is one that has built in amplification but the crossover is still between the amplifier and the drivers. Active is when the crossover is before the amplification. | |
| Desktop Speakers - New Tannoy Golds versus Adam, Vanatoo etc I bought a psb subseries 100 to augment a desktop system. It's tiny and fits behind one of my monitors on my desk. It's not really a sub in that it only goes down to about 40hz but it adds a lot to that little system. If I were you I'd buy wha... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? I think the little KEF is class A within the context of very small monitors. If you compare it to the field of comparably sized monitors it was judged as good as any of them. | |
| More Dynamic Speakers Than Vienna Acoustic I've got a couple pairs of VA speakers, including the Mozart grands, and they are definitely lacking in punch. Those little woofers aren't capable of a satisfying punch from more than a few feet away. In my experience you need at least an 8 inch... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars So much emotion. I want the best performance for the money. Money is an object for me. I'm in the bottom 99.9999999%. I, like virtually everyone else, don't have 850k for speakers. 850k speakers are too expensive to compete, and I think that'... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm a proud owner of a pair of 2 2s. I love that space. On a separate note, I got my viewpoints set up at the office and am enjoying them for over an hour most mornings. I was very worried after having to glue the magnet back on the frame but t... | |
| White Van Speakers ? I had a guy try to sell me a pair in about '96 in a shopping strip parking lot near Cincinnati. I asked a guy in a pawn shop about it and he said they actually come as kits. They're flat and need to be put together before being sold dishonestly. | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars this is fun. You certainly know when you've touched a nerve. I'm posting because I'm curious, obviously. I don't have any special secret knowledge and I don't claim to. Do I seem like I'm trying to be attractive? At what point am I allowed to... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars The state or the art would be the best designer with the best tools in the best facility using the best parts. The final product would be manufactured to the tightest tolerances and have the best quality control. Does Wilson employ the best desi... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars I think there's value in trying to figure out why products exist, who they're for, etc. If something is priced high for reasons that legitimately contribute to performance it's different than if it's just because the manufacturer is trying to app... | |
| Little two-way boxes on a stand.... I think it very much depends on what type of music you prefer. I don't find them satisfying on any type of large scale music. Orchestral or rock sound very weak and a sub doesn't solve the problem. This type of music requires a large woofer tha... | |
| ATC SCM v3 - First impressions....... Whether or not you like the ATC sound they are objectively outstanding. The famous dome midrange has been measured by independent parties and they've published the results. I normally avoid getting personal but in case anyone happens across this... | |
| Non-rear ported Speakers Back when I had the 804s I was making measurements using a real time analyzer, measurement mic, and test tones. They definitely interacted with the room very differently than other speakers I had in the same spot. | |
| Non-rear ported Speakers I had a pair of B&W N804s about 15 years ago and they excited room resonances far more than other speakers I had in the same location. |
