Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?...
Yes,The distortion I am quantifying is not anything like the original signal created, therefore is a whole new form of distortion. Just like harmonic distortion, or transient intermodulation distortion, in amps. But this is created by the drivers.... 
Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?...
Interesting perspectives here. My perspective is similar, with a couple of exceptions.I have quantified a type of speaker distortion, which I have listed with my attorney, as a theoretical concept paper, which details a new quantification of disto...

When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves
Wait, a flash just hit me. I know its revolutionary so let's do a trial run.Instructions on ordering Belles (or any gear for that matter) just change names and assume that the Manufacturer HIMSELF answers the phone:Pick up phone, (Make it brief, y... 
When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves
Maybe, just maybe Dave never got the email. Did that ever occur to you?Instead of telling hundreds of readers here that "he needs to improve his service", a knee jerk response, you should have followed up. That assumes, of course, that YOU WANTED ... 
People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps
Irrational fears, phobias? This is a hobby, like 84 said.When I first discovered tubes, I was truly mystified, at their spaciousness, and sweet sound. Then after many years I vascilated back and forth. At one time it was all tubes, amp and pre. Th... 
When is Belles going to get the credit he deserves
Inquired with whom regarding purchase? WHEN, AND WHAT WAS THE RESPONSE? If you call Power Modules, Dave Belles HIMSELF answers the phone. Give me a break.I spoke to Dave today, and chatted just casually. He told me and a friend a joke (not exactly... 
anyone have any experince with audiostatic spks
My beaming comment was not a criticism but an observation. Frequencies above a certain tone, travel in a nearly straight line; not because I think so, this is emperically correct. Therefore it is impossible to overstate their beaming characteristi... 
VAC - any comments? Good or bad.
I think everyone who reads this can draw their own conclusions as to what was actually measured here. The amplifier's real output is not measurable through a non calibrated loudspeaker, with further room calibrations made, to compensate for room, ... 
A difference between First Sound Presence products
I am getting the First Sound Deluxe in this week, or early next week. I will be happy to report of its sound versus several others I have tried if you like.As the other post indicated, Emmanuel is tops, and unabashedly says his is the best. Also, ... 
VAC - any comments? Good or bad.
Just can't let this one go. What were you measuring? The amp output, or the speaker output in the room? What techniques, etc. Just curious. I spoke to Kevin Hayes personally, after this came up. Kevin is honest, sincere (doesn't mean he couldn't m... 
I think I want a tube preamp
By the way; I respectfully disagree with the assessment that 'the best preamp is no preamp', as is stated above. Amps need to be driven. Even the vaunted Berning, with an integrated config, sounds better when used with a great preamp. That doesn't... 
Which integrated amp for Von Schweikert VR 1's?
Try the Arcam integrated. I have owned various Arcams for 24 years. All were wonderfully open and sweet sounding. Recently I helped a friend, put that exact system together. They are extremely well matched. The Arcam can play them as loudly as the... 
Powering Audio Physic Virgos
I responded earlier, and just happened to remember that my friend who owned them, borrowed my Avatar, VAC integrated. We sat and watched a great movie, Meet Joe Black, with the scene at the end, fireworks, and a large orchestra playing. This amp j...
