| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? There are newer generations of horns that are much better no doubt. But well known to have lower distortion? That gem is not in my physics text book! Maybe I should qualify my comments to apply to normal SPLs in nearfield applications (home au... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? There are decades of scientific research, testing and effort on this subject. Old ideas about horn loading have not been disproven or debunked; rather the audio community, led by science and research, now understands better where horns pay off and... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? Focusing on efficiency as a measure of speaker technology or quality is like judging a passenger car based on miles per gallon. MPG does not measure or reflect the quality of seating, the quality of materials in the car, the car's performance, it... | |
| Tweeter Replacement for Acoustic Energy (UK made) - AE2's and AE5's Why would you not trust the manufacturer on what to use with a specific model? Because they cost more? There are hundreds of possible options that are wrong and only one that is right, why not go with the sure thing that the company who built th... | |

But in general, it means cheap low-powered magnets undersized transducers, and cabinets. It means the loudspeaker and owner of such has to purchase a massive p... | |
| ATC SCM 40 v2 report HI I’m the importer for ATC to the US. Craig that tri wire panel isn’t my favorite either, but many users of ours in the past have requested bi wire and tri wire connections. It could be said that in 99% of the cases, amplifiers and cables lend a ... | |

| AppleTV Atmos levels seem off I think the more movies you try in ATMOS the more differences you will hear. Same thing for ATMOS music. Everyone is mixing these a little differently. Music especially, ATMOS mixes are all over the place. Mastering for ATMOS is in its infancy and... | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? ATC has been hand building a very wide band device for a long time, the 3 inch mid dome. 380 to 3500Hz. I believe its the widest band mid device of its kind and gets around some of the typical midrange narrowing issues by using a dome instead of a... | |

| Speaker magnets Driver motors, of which the magnet are the key part and the coil being the other, are essential for controlling a driver's motion. The two are the "main dance" pair, with nearly infinite possibilities of what these two can do. These motors can l... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers HI GeorgehifiI have no doubt you experienced what you say as I can see you have written a enthusiastic response. AS one who's been in audio a lifetime, I have been completely convinced by a demo I discovered later was a flawed. I too have heard ... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers I think the number one reason commercially available actives lack consumer appeal is the lack of "amp upgradeability". Phusis is talking about the future when you can set your active system yourself, choose your crossover points and amplifiers. I ... | |
