| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker I'm building an active system where the midrange will be driven by a 2A3 SET. SETs like constant, high impedance. And need high efficiency too. Many high end midrange drivers have relatively flat yet low impedance. Would an autoformer be a good so... | |
| The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers @riley804 I wholeheartedly agree with Erik. Note an easier way to start and learn is to follow designs that have been proven to work well. There are many sites for this. You can look at, for example, www.troelsgravasen.dk (spelling?)Take a look.An... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Kosst,What you describe is true, sometimes. As usual it depends on implementation. Active digital xo aren't that complicated to implement and can solve the issues you describe if done right. At a fraction if the cost of passive. But the system has... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Seanheis,In my view that is a low probability scenario and wouldn't detract me. Don't know why you would ship a speaker. | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Jack, A significant point Bache made and I neglected to mention is the need for measurement. This means a mic and learning how to do it. USB mics are easier to implent but not as good as the internally do analog to digital conversion with a clock ... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Jack,There are many ways to get into it, but in my experience it has been very rewarding to go active and take the learning curve. I echo what Erik suggested about diyaudio (multi-way forum).I started my journey 4-5 years ago. I had a great preamp... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 Hey Tim!This Horacio, the Brit from Argentina!!! Hahaha. Fortunately I got to see your post early on, but had not had the time to reply. I'll keep away from political remarks to circumvent censorship.OK, I'll say forums :-)I'm very often... | |
| A little confused on how to properly integrate my sub If your only source is your computer and you want to run "digital crossovers", the best approach is to run the digital xo inside the music software in your pc, then output to a multichannel DAC, and drive the sub/s on 2 channels and the LS50 on ot... | |
| what is the best Kt88 to get I replaced my stock McIntosh tubes with Psvane Black Bottles KT88s in my MC275 and was a noticeable improvement. This was 4.5 years ago and still sounding great.FWIW I purchased 5 in case one failed, on rotate then every 2 months so they all age s... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 and others interested in room acoustics: which other fora are you active in?I'm interested in discussing and posting some measurements (which Agon doesn't allow) and would live to engage others who share that interest.Cheers! | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 , @enginedr1960,What's the crossover frequency and slope of the Swarm system? I understand the xo is before the Swarm amp and all subs operate in the same frequency range, summing up L & R.My system is set up so the sealed subs cross... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs Noble100 (Tim), indeed I also have Floyd Toole's Sound Reproduction and keep coming back to it for his research with multiple subs. A piece of work with learnings that take time to sink in - at least for me. I also agree there are multiple ways to... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs Some subs have controls to allow for phase correction. My Rel had some adjustability in this regard, and the Rythmiks offers plenty. Of course one needs to be able to measure and adjust and have plenty of patience to get right, but well worth it i... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs The Audiokinesis Swarm review by The Absolute Sound refers to Geddes. Earl Geddes published his approach: https://mehlau.net/audio/multisub_geddes/For the brief time I had the Rythmik and Rel together I tried his approach and got close to what h... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs I guess I'm on my way to a distributed bass system.I started with a single REL Storm sub and really enjoyed it. Later I built two very heavy cabs for a couple Rythmik 12" kits connected at speaker level and it was a significant improvement over th... |
