| Totem Forest, Mani 2's or Green Mtn Audio Europa I just completed work on two designs which will hit the street soon.Listening groups, which include audiophiles, and not really interested parties, all picked my designs over all the other products in the listening session. It was really embarrass... | |
| Totem Forest, Mani 2's or Green Mtn Audio Europa Larry from LSA recommends the LSA 2, a $1499. speaker which kills the $3500., Sonus Grand Piano, according to consensus of several groups of audiophiles and non audiophiles. They sound like $12000. and list for $1400. No dynamic constraints.Even t... | |

| Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line Cdc2,As is always the situation, execution of design is at least as important as the design itself.Good Question! | |
| what if you put too much lead shot in your speaker Yes I did.The geometry and the resonant peaks of the cabinet are all important. I can only say that, violins and violas don't use lead to dampen them. Pianos don't use anything to 'deaden' them either. The natural order of 'musical' instruments is... | |
| what if you put too much lead shot in your speaker In order to be clear and fair, we should distinguish between 'different' and 'better'. Lead was my holy grail for all things vibrational in terms of audio, until I saw the results first hand, from a completely, and I should say more open perspecti... | |
| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's As a dealer for Sound Labs, I can recommend the A-1 as a complete upgrade in every sense of the word.Better clarity, bass, soundstage, scale. In a word, they are musical, with no harshness. They are LARGE. But that is how they are able to produce ... | |
| X250 Isolation? I own Halcro's DM38 and the DM10 preamp. The introduction of the Sistrum products to this, made a REMARKABLE improvement.Notice, when some people, (including a former incarnation of myself) claim differences, they are simply that, differences, not... | |
| Will sun exposure damage my speakers? Yes,Sun rays ultimately change all that is in their path.With speakers it will bleach the cabinets, dry the wood, and also, affect the drivers, (surrounds) if exposed too much.Sort of like the white rat tests. "If a rat consumes 12.5 Million gallo... | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Pianos vs. Thiel 1.6's Razor clear versus warm. Real music, at least to me, is neither. Any speaker which, of its own performance "speaks" with too obvious of a voice, is noticably flawed.I find the THIEL 1.6's too forward. Oddly these speakers are so diametrically oppo... | |
| B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia? The 'suckout', or problems mentioned in this site relative to the 801's, and 'all B&W's' is, to many people's way of thinking, the famous, "Mylar Honk" as quantified, then coined by John Atkinson of Stereophile. Mylar has an uneven response, w... | |
| How important is a flat response? A flat measured response is sometimes fools gold. The output of a loudspeaker in a static input of, say, 85db, or 90db, is one indicator. Yet, when the dynamic signal of real music is applied, there is no emperical proof that the 'dynamic' output ... | |
| Bass Response on Dunlavy SC-IVa I have a possible solution, which is worth trying.Try listening to the room. Play one speaker, using a low frequency test tone, with the speaker in a 'probable' final,location.Walk around the room, and find where the 'hot spots' of good bass are. ... | |
| 4th order crossovers: design and time/phase issues This is a point of contention from most manufacturers.THIEL uses first order, stating that this is the only true phase correct design. Several others agree.Those who disagree, claim that first order is only correct at the launch point of the drive... | |
