| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker @wwoodrum what crossovers were you using? | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker youre asking the wrong person. Running a business whether its selling steak or speakers is about profit however my goal is not profit its perfect sound. | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Kenjit if a speaker retails for $8k how much should a designer have wrapped up in parts cost to make it a value in your opinion?If you consider the cost of buying the drivers, paying somebody to do the box and the cost of dsp amps, thats an indica... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker The performance of a speaker depends on the parts. All things being equal, better drivers gives more power handling more dynamics less distortion and more detail. If youre paying 8000 bucks on a pair of speakers which uses drivers costing a couple... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker But anyway, there absolutely is some voodoo magic in the Pulsar -- it’s the infinite slope crossover.stereophile measured the pulsars. The measurements look like its 2nd order. Not infinite | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Ascend Acoustics sells a 2-way monitor with the Seas flagship diamond tweeter and Excel woofer and sells it for less than the retail price of the PulsarsThat seems to contradict what was said earlier by @soix A manufacturer who sells through a dea... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Imagine being a plumber, and only being allowed to charge for the pipes. What a ridiculous setup. plumbers are well known for overcharging. DIY will save you money with plumbing too. But lets stick to discussing speakers. | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker @erik_squires i dont see any measurements.You won't just be allowed to critique until I've seen you demonstrate reasonable speaker acumen. That is exactly the point I'm refuting. It does NOT require speaker acumen. There is no such thing. Every sp... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker I present to you all my SNR-1. My main daily speakers. where are the measurements? its easy to make a nice looking box but thats not what matters. I could buy similar drivers to the pulsars, stuff them in a box, tinker with the crossover at a frac... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Also they seem to never take into account things like returns, labor, equipment costs, rent, utility bills, and other costs that are more industry specific. In the case of a speaker company perhaps providing samples for reviewers.It’s not just "dr... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker why should I do it for far less money if other manufacturers are charging such high prices? I have not heard the pulsars no. The question is why dont more audiophiles try doing it diy?its not exactly a piece of cake but you can save alot of money ... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker all speakers diy or not are highly room dependent. Whats special about the pulsar that makes it less room dependent? | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Guys like Jeff Joseph have a talent to create great sounding speakers that can work in a lot of environments, with a lot of sources, amplification and with a lot of different music. No they dont. Commercial speakers do not satisfy every audiophil... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker @millercarbon he couldn't even hear any difference between these two interconnects.thats because there is no difference between interconnects. Any difference you think you hear is imaginary . | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Some people find overpriced restaurant meals or expensive clothing objectionable. Why should overpriced high end speakers be any different?Speaker design is not magical. All you need is a very rigid sturdy mdf box. Mdf is a very cheap material. Bu... |
