| Single Sub Position @soix Then 3 subs works even better and 4 even better yet! I have attended some demos where there were 4 very small cheap subs turned down almost so low you couldn't tell they were on and it was amazingly consistent bass throughout a small room. ... | |
| Room is way too bright. @saboros You experience with your Magnepans demonstrates figure of 8 dispersion pattern and you found one of the best places or conditions where a dipole pattern works! There's some famous ribbon mics (RCA 44's) used in studios today from th... | |
| A question about trim rings around speaker drivers I would say that we see more problems from over tightening bolts than under tightening them. Most baffles made of a non resonant material are soft and can be compressed between a bolt and a driver frame, so it's normal for a bolt to "feel" loose.... | |
| Transmission line speakers! Bose also uses transmission line designs and holds several patents on them. The little Wave Radio uses a transmission line. BTW, transmission line applies/impacts typically only the low end portion of the speaker- not the midrange or above (ot... | |
| ATC SCM40A speakers The post above is a reat example of how speakers (really most drivers) sound different off axis. This is almsot a universal, but there are some drivers that are better than others. Since this is a post about SCM40A, the mid dome driver and the ... | |
| Starting my showroom again The online dealer thing isnt going to offer any opportunity for you (IMHO). I think that ship has sailed and the major web stores are already doing a lot of business for the major manufacturers. A new webstore is not different. Remember, more ... | |
| Starting my showroom again @nashvillehifi I am active in the business right now (in hi fi and in pro via high end recording gear) . The business has completely changed from when you were running a store. One of the issues is that most of the lower end brands (90%+ made ... | |
| Room is way too bright. @panzrwagn has it right. The acoustics treatment route is the only way out. If it were my space, heavy theater curtain type drapes (so you can completely close all the glass off) would be step one. That will cost a more than the speakers p... | |
| Single Sub Position I think these posts show what we have always experienced at Lone Mountain and TransAudio- each room is different and where "the subs go" is just as different as the room itself. Ive almost never had the same location work out in two rooms- especi... | |
| ATC SCM40A speakers I have to add to @dpac996 that it isn't just the integration of the ATC drivers, it's that they are all designed to achieve low distortion reproduction-this is NOT what most transducer designers aim for. Low Distortion Driver Units sound simple a... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @ei001h Do your SCM 40s have tweeters that sat "ATC" engaged right in the metal flange around them? If it doesn't, these are the older SEAS tweeters used in the SCM40 Mk1's , while the newer SCM 40 Mk2's use the ATC hand made tweeter introduced... | |
| ATC SCM50 (passive) v. Devore O/93 Lots of rock records built on ATC 50a - I sold some to Tom Petty and all his records after 2004 or so are ATC built. Pink Floyd uses them. Tools most recent record was built in them and I sold the drummer a pair of scm40a ( but in the pro version)... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K Okay I am certainly biased so if you don’t like ATC skip this post. You might want to look at speakers that are actually used to mix rock and roll, brands the artists and their engineers think best represents their “sound”. ATC is heavily used in ... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @ei001h 1. is it possible to self modify Active into passive down the line if get tired of active and would like to try other amps ? Is it possible to purchase passive crossover and swap them at home? NO this is not possible due to the calibrat... | |
| ATC active vs. passive As I’ve mentioned in another thread long ago, I have done a very close active vs passive comparison at a trade show - same speakers, ATC amps for passive system run passively biamped, active using the internal amps with the same output devices and... |
