Which subwoofer?
@oldhvymecNot familiar with what VMPSs bass is. I believe you are also into DIY OB speakers. I'm also running an active system, so no passive xo parts between amp and corresponding driver. I couldn't be happier. Currently a 4-way active stereo sys... 
Which subwoofer?
@bdp24  Danny Richie uses a pair of OB subs in the front of his room and a pair of F12G's in the rear (in both his company's listening room and at hi-fi shows), the F12's in phase opposite that of the the OB's. I believe he uses 40Hz as the x/o fr... 
Which subwoofer?
@bdp24 Thanks for the perspective! I will do some digging at Audiocircle.In my case my dipole (naked) 18" midbasses go from 65Hz to 275Hz. I agree there is some weight loss (vs a sealed 18") but I have not heard this level of articulation before. ... 
Which subwoofer?
@bdp24 You got me interested! :-)Which GR Research Kit do you use? The one with 1, 2 or 3x12" drivers per amp? How many in your room? How far away from the walls do you have them in your room?I have a couple of Rythmik F12 in DIY sealed heavy boxe... 
Coincident Technology Dynamo 34SE MKIII
How has the MK III turn out after this time?Saw some reliability issues (dead caps), and performance concerns (humming transformers), and wondering how has this evolved?Looking for a small stereo SET. Don't need volume knob nor headphone amp nor d... 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
@atmasphere Ralph, glad to hear about the beta production and perception of their sound. Any guidance you can provide on expected timeline to market, mono/stereo, power, estimated price range for your class D? 
Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers
@mglik Interestingly enough, my takeaway from that thread was also the Bakoon 13R. I will PM to learn more about your experience so to not derail this thread. 
Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers
@mglik I also learnt a bunch reading through ”Is there a SS amp that can satisfy a SET guy?” but I didn't recall the AGDs mentioned there. Glad you mentioned them here because they peaked my interest. I'm very interested in such small footprint, h... 
Your favorite OCC speaker cable
@mijostynWould you recommend  12TC, 8TC or 4TC for mids and tweeters in an active system where a 2A3 drives tweeters above 1600Hz, and another drives mids from 275 to 1600Hz?12TC is advertised as being capable of high power delivery, but in my app... 
Equi=Core 1800
Anybody knows what happened with these products?I have an 1800 and didn't have issues, but back then it was a real mess with Mark and people not receiving their orders, then the comments about the company being sold, then I seem to recall Dan Wrig... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
I haven't tried these so can't comment. But you can DIY with PVC pipes filled with sand on a wood stand. Cheap.I think a big factor is the directivity of your speakers in mid and high frequencies and how close they are to your side walls. Place ne... 
A deeper more holographic soundstage.
Several positive comments about Schumann generators, which I have not tried, so I'm intrigued. What should I look for when selecting one? Likely buying from Ali Express.FWIW, completely concur with the importance of room treatment, learning, measu... 
SET amplifier recommendation
Folks, this thread is from July 2019, and likely OP has decided which way to go already.@cygnus_859, what did you end up doing and how did it work out for you?BTW, the passing of almarg in 2020 is yet another very sad aspect of this year. I will m... 
Experiences with Ghent Audio ICEpower AS series amps?
I believe Bruno was a co-founder of Purifi, but not sure he left Hypex.Anyway, Purifi modules seem to be unobtanium now, and from reading around it seems ICEpower AS seems to be better sounding than NCores, especially the 1200AS module. The 700AS ... 
Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable.
This is a practice used in baffleless dipoles for bass and midrange drivers,  where the drivers hang on a swing, however generally not suspended from the ceiling but a frame.Doing without the baffle avoids vibrations transmitted to the panels. Of ...
