| Am I nuts? Biamping question... If you are cascading the effects of an external custom crossover on top of the built-in speaker crossover, the results are unpredictable and will likely be inferior to using either one or the other. You will not be getting the benefits of true bia... | |
| acoustic system resonators I am unaware of any evidence to ignore. I see lots of anecdotal reports, none of them any more convincing to me than my own. Aside from that, have you any evidence? (And, yes, I have read the puffery in that so-called lab report.)Your statements a... | |
| acoustic system resonators As a scientist (and one involved in the study of the brain), I am very aware of the perceptual mechanisms to which we are all subject. Thus, my belief system is very restrained. People who believe these things work are right: They perceive it as r... | |

| acoustic system resonators Excuse the grammar. I type too fast when saying the obvious. | |
| acoustic system resonators Yes. At an audio show.Besides, having a completely uncritical mind makes you a customer for buy the Brooklyn Bridge. Not all ideas deserve equal respect.Kal | |
| acoustic system resonators Worse. Regular folks buy these things for even more money.Kal | |
| 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 | |
| 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 ... |
