| Opening of Audeum Museum Thomas, What are the 1950-60s speakers in the last video you posted? I am not familiar with them. | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address groovey, Your speaker is a youngster. The phenolic diaphragm in my Western Electric 713b compression driver is 80+ years old and I have not heard any midrange driver I clearly prefer. Some of the contenders are as old, and some are 60 year old ... | |
| Suggestions for testing a never installed, 20-year boxed amp. You can turn on a solid state amp without a load connected to it. But, just to be safe, you should contact Pass for their recommendation. I would not hook up any speakers until the amp has been turned off and on several times and has been allowe... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address csmgolf, I agree with your assessment of the sound of YG and B&W speakers. YG does get voicing right, it is just that there is something I don't really love about the sound--a kind of "dryness." Still I respect their speakers. B&W, as... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? What amp weighs 300 lbs and makes 4 watts? | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address You have the reasoning inverted as to cause and effect. You are saying essentially that because YG has not changed/innovated, it must be inferior. You should first establish that YG is inferior--that there sound is no longer competitive with oth... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? I don't know your specific components, but, as a general matter, a lot of people can do with far less power than they think they need. But, there is no reason to go lower and lower just for the sake of seeing how low you can go. With solid state... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? I am also a fan of horn speakers because of the superior dynamics, vivid sound and ability to deliver a soundfield that is large an enveloping. Most horn systems, even though they are large in size, can fit well into smaller rooms because of thei... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address Where is the evidence that any one technology or material choice is superior such that YG is somehow shortchanging its customers by not employing that technology? The only evidence has been that other brands have made changes more recently than h... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address While we are at it, let’s discuss how little has been done in quite a while to innovate and improve violins, acoustic guitars, and the hockey puck. Surely, new and better materials are available—beryllium has to be better than maple. How do you ... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? Keep the house and dedicated listening room, ditch the shepherds and labrador, renegotiate services rendered by the wife or ditch that too--that is the way to downsize. | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address So, YG has not changed its midrange cone material in many moons. How is this evidence that their product is inferior. To me, it looks like they think they got things right in that department a long time ago. I like the sound of certain compres... | |
| Quandary Most shops that do offer home demonstration will do so only with customers they are familiar and can trust. They will help you load it in your car, but beyond that, it would be a big imposition to expect them to set up in your home on the hope of... | |
| Quandary This sort of thing is situational. If you have been a good customer and they have reason to expect that you would make a purchase if you like it, this would seem like a too high charge. If the fee were refundable if you make the purchase that is... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 For me, it is not just that extremely deep and impactful bass is a low priority, I don't like the results I often hear with attempts to achieve such bass. Often the bottom end sounds "dry" and toneless when that kind of bass is achieved. I think... |
