| All New Electric Beach Audio : Single-Driver Speakers Perfection ?! I read the website. I can't imagine a speaker with a less then 3" single driver or in the case of the ;larger version a less than 4" driver providing any satisfying bass. | |
| Múnich 2023 Pro-ject Dark side of the moon turntable It is an abomination! | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? First I ask if the speaker under consideration has a sensitivity well above 100dB/2.83V/1m. If so then I ask if it is fully horn loaded including the deep bass well down into the low twenties. If so then I ask how it is better than my present DI... | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers I find that a pair of 25 Hz quarter wave folded corner horns driven by good quality 15 inch woofers serve my modest needs for bass. These handsome teak veneered Bill Fitzmaurice designed subs have an output at 25 Hz that is identical to the 1 kHz... | |
| Feel like I'm outta my mind.... Considering your taste in music as well as the fact you plan to use subs I think Klipsch La Scalas would really fit the bill. Horn loaded down to 50 Hz they have impact slam, and overall dynamics coupled with great immediacy that would bring met... | |
| Vintage vs Modern speakers. shkong78, this is a very interesting thread. Thanks for posting it. I am a horn guy. My main speakers have be DIY horns for nearly twenty years. Thus I started listening to your posted videos assuming I would prefer the Altecs. Much to my sur... | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. donavabdear, this is the second thread I've noticed where you tell audiophiles how confused they are. I don't question your experience in professional circles, but this is a hobby. Audiophiles do audio for pleasure. The proper way to do the hob... | |
| What are some good Amplifier choices for Martin logan ESL 15A? +1 to ddudeoo3's suggestion of the Sanders Magtech amp. It is designed with electrostatics in mind and is very powerful. | |
| Whole reference system was stolen, now need new speakers on a low budget. Concept 50? jof, I'm sorry about your problems, but glad you posted this because it reminds me I need to visit my insurance agent and boost the rider for electronics. | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark "and then racism made it to the audio forums." Instead of racism a reluctance to buy MIC gear might be related to a desire not to do business with a totalitarian communist dictatorship which oppresses its people and steals others intellectual pro... | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? I have had excellent results using the power cords the manufacturer selected and included in the box with a component. | |
| JBL 4343 or JBL 4344 I have a good friend who runs a pair of 4344s with Krell amplifier and Audio Research preamp. The first time I heard them I was shocked at how very well they image. I was expecting great dynamics and tone quality, but for a speaker with as many ... | |

| chatGPT identifies concentric driver designs like Ohm Walsh.... dekay, I did as you asked. The reply I got was. "Chickens do not have lips in the traditional sense that humans and mammals have. They have beaks, which are made of keratin, the same material as our nails and hair. Beaks do not have the flexibili... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused speakerdude, when you state that If my bass to mid crossover is above 120 Hz the bass will leak into the midrange I doubt that you have considered that I am using 16th order (96 dB/octave) crossovers. Your objections to my system are all theoret... |
