| Class D with high efficiency speakers I ran a desktop mini amp with a Tripath TA2024 chip (10W) through my 91db speakers (Closer Acoustics OGY). Yeah it works just fine. No complaints. I only upgraded to a typical 40W class A/B amp for more power. One thing I would be concerned abou... | |
| Did you ever buy too much bass? Thanks! I just moved in LOL! To be frank the sub is almost always off. But when I have the time during a weekend I'll definitely move the sub around. | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? Can you get your MOABs re-finished or vinyl-wrapped in white? The black color is very imposing. A white finish would lighten up the space. | |
| Did you ever buy too much bass? @erik_squires Thanks! I have my sub in the worst spot according to your web tool. I live in a flat, so space is at a premium. I guess I could use the sub as a footrest or a low side table? I thought I could EQ with the Bluesound Node 2021, but I... | |
| Did you ever buy too much bass? YES! I have too much bass. I bought Closer Acoustics OGY speakers with a REL T5x subwoofer. I dialed the sub different ways, until I found a decent compromise. So the sub blends really well on typical music where the bass isn't stupidly fast. Th... | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market I'm squarely in the single driver speaker camp after auditioning a bunch of speakers including Atohm and Davis Acoustics in a shop in Paris. I just think that single driver speakers sound more natural/transparent. It's a night and day difference... | |
| What is your opinion of single driver speakers @john1 Most music doesn't reach frequency extremes. There are notable exceptions like orchestral music. Now, objectivists will pretend to exclusively listen to orchestral music in an attempt to make fullrange drivers look awful (unintentionally). ... | |
| Passive speakers for desktop Closer Acoustics Ogy. - under $2k - Anything will drive them, even the cheapest 10W class D mini amp on the market. - Fullrange drivers in near field make a lot of sense. The imaging is excellent in that application. A lot of speakers need to ... | |
| What is your opinion of single driver speakers I have Closer Acoustics OGY speakers (EMS LB5 fullrange driver + transmission line the size of a cereal box) powered by a fully-restored Continental Edison PA9109 amp and I couldn't be happier. You'd expect the OGY to lack bass and sound lean/dull... | |
| Vintage worth the time to explore? Absolutely!! My Continental Edison PA 9109 only outputs 25W. So potential buyers are totally turned off and the prices dip. Prices double or triple when you hit 50W. My 25W amp is more than powerful enough to blow up my bookshelf speakers. And I... | |
| Vintage worth the time to explore? @butche34 I doubt you’ll necessarily get significantly more warmth out of a vintage amp. Most amps just sound "neutral"-ish. Intentionally warm amps aren’t really thing. You want the amp to get out of the way. Reviewers compare and contrast differ... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? I’m going off topic here, but rounded shapes are preferable for living room decor. You’ll get very subtle anxiety in a room with only square shapes. It’s soothing to the mind and spirit to have more rounded shapes that you’ll likely encounter in n... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @dynamiclinearity You can build the most complex shapes out of plywood and a CNC machine. Glue many layers of precision-cut plywood together and build a wavy 1/4 wave transmission line. Build a box around that transmission line. That’s how my spea... | |
| Just how many options does 1 need in a 2 way bookshelf design? @waytoomuchstuff Okay but how big? Can we have some examples? | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? "Price no object? The most precious commodity is time. So, build your own. The materials can be exotic as you want, usually better than manufacturers use. Thus, it is possible to build a speaker better than anything you have heard." I bought ... |
