| acoustic system resonators As I said, I read the French paper and did not find it convincing. More like a proposition to do more work for the client by a company whose expertise seems not particularly focussed on audio.Kal | |
| acoustic system resonators Scientifically tested? If you mean that wall-paper from the French lab, it is much less than convincing.Kal | |
| Room modes are hijacking my music First, if the EQ works, what have you got against it? There are really good and transparent EQs out there.Second, to deal with the frequencies around 125Hz, which you imply is the problem, you will need some decent bass traps in the corners of you... | |
| bi wiring "Your statement is correct, but the 2 cables are indeed driving a crossover, inside the speaker. The frequencies divide in the cables based on the impedances each is driving, with all frequencies taking the path(s) of least resistance. The 'high' ... | |
| bi wiring Just as counterpoint, some of Theo's statements are simply not true. For example, "I beleive that the benefit of bi-wiring is that a seprate run from the amp output allows the frequencies to seperate according demand." Cables cannot do this withou... | |
| Passive Sub Woofer connections ?? In case A, there's the possibility of a HP filter being inserted to remove the low bass from the main speakers. In case B, that possibility doesn't exist. The user's manual should say so.Kal | |
| Anyone familiar with: Pickering Pickering, of course, was the consumer twin to Stanton Electronics which is still, I believe, situated on Long Island NY. | |
| b&w? in a bright room??? You do not describe enough of your room but it seems as if it is somewhat bright (from your assessment) and it has a hard reflective floor (and, I presume, ceiling). You should consider acoustic treatment for your room. It can be unobtrusive or, e... | |
| The importance and effect to and above 20kHz... The Boyk paper makes no such speculation and it is, frankly, old news. As for the speculation (it was not a finding or otherwise demonstrated) in the referenced paper that the saccule might be a transducer for such high frequencies, it is hard to ... | |
| The importance and effect to and above 20kHz... "Good point. Not many people are aware that we can't even hear proper waveforms above 4 KHz....the ear's nerve bundles fire too slowly! In order to hear above 4 KHz the brain relies on two things; beat frequencies and differences in timing of what... | |
| How's this for speaker break in? What can you possibly conclude from a non-statistical result that lacks a control? Just enjoy the sound.Kal | |
| Will SACD Formats Play through a Standard DAC? The answer, in general, is that all digital outputs from an SACD must be encrypted in some way or other, at least if you play by the rules of the SACD licensing agreement. So, the relatively standard links that RW mentioned do this. In addition, t... | |

| Bi-amping Paradigm Reference 100's - good idea? Biamping will not change that. Getting the best power amp for your budget (and good placement and good room acoustics) will.Kal | |
| Bi-amping Paradigm Reference 100's - good idea? IMHO, it is a waste of time. There's no significant power advantage over a 200WPC stereo amp and, for the same money, you might get a better 2 channel than 4 monoblocs. (Of course, I do not know what you are paying for these, but comparable stereo... |
