| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @buellrider97 Interesting: " Adagio: same 6.5 -inch mid/woofers constructed from a fabric layer sandwiched between two skins of ceramic doping; same 1.8" circular ribbon tweeter with a shielded 3.5-oz high-flux, highly temperature-resistant magnet... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @knotscott Yup, that is the idea. Mulitple small low/mid (for 'moving air' for higher spl), NO big woofers (no need for very low range), no big 'box'. https://d2j6dbq0eux0bg.cloudfront.net/images/13908254/3055753434.jpg What is out there, coveri... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @yoyoyaya: "You are up against the laws of physics. You can make a small speaker play loud, but scale requires the ability to move a lot of air." Yes, that is the point of this post: what speaker (CAN be small because it does NOT HAVE TO MAKE 120 ... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @audiokinesis Interestingly, I had the mini lore for a while in my room. Actually quite nice sounding. I might 'go back' to bring it back into the mix with the big sub. | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @gano: Like I said early, I already prooved that it sounded better (when cutting under 50Hz off the main), so that is NOT a discussion point for this posting. With no need for large woofers to handle 20 Hz, there is no need for 3 or more way com... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @ ghdprentice: "wrong direction"? Maybe. But my testing/experience showed significant improvement in almost all relevant categories when I added the powered 18" sub (replaceing two meager 10", and then my great Velodyne DD15, now in use in the 2n... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @jbuhl Quad S4 might be cabable, but a single 5 or 6 inch low/mid driver may not cut it. The 6" in my Epicure 5 certainly don't. Hence the desire for 2x 6" low mid. | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @wharfy Thank you for the suggestions. I have not listened to any of the suggested speaker brand, so will take a look. | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? mgattmch thanks again for the link. Watched it again. Interestingly, the "Mike from Brighton" is probably in the same Brighton that I live! | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? ervikingo: I heard a pair of RS-1B in a local store. Disappointing. But turns out there was all sorts of things wrong with that pair/setup. Some of the mids NOTICEABLY rattled, not sure if the crossover was used properly, etc. They were cheap, but... | |
| Utah speaers mark200mph: yes, I do realized more and more that I find the 'journey' more enjoyable than the 'estination'. Meaning, I like to find and try and change speakers in an effort to a) improve the overall quality and b) try and be surprised more (and s... | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? What I WANTED to ask about was the BIG Infinity. Checked today and it is the IRS, with full length EMIT for mid and high. Vs the Rs-1b with less midrange EMITS and only 3 tweeter EMITs (plus one in the back). | |
| Utah speaers bullrider97: thank you, now it comes back to me. Starting the hunt now. | |
| Utah speaers soix: yes, that is why I listed them while still sitting in the garage not even tested them. Then buyer wanted them, moved them in, hooked them up. WHAT IS GOING ON. Staging, airiness, dry, firm bass (less a surprised with that 15 incher hammering... | |
| Infinit Quantum 2 - Wiring 3 (4) EMIT I dug out the EMITs, and luckily I left the interconnect wiring in place. Actually looks like all 3 are in parellel. I measured 3.2 Ohm COMBINED. So about 8 ohm each, 3 in parellel. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nt4lEkqwHLY-9vTW7kwfIug4lSp... |
