| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? Bose has an even bigger following than Salk. What's your point?Fuses? Please! What tiny shred of credibility you may have had just "blew."And Salk uses the 70-20XR OEM tweeter, not the 70-10D.Don't get me wrong here. I was present at one of Jim's ... | |
| Sensitivity Usually, sensitivity is specified for a specific voltage from the amp, usually 2.83V RMS or 1W into 8 Ohm. The higher the sensitivity, the higher the SPL from the speaker for a specific amplifier output voltage. All else being equal, a 4 Ohm versi... | |
| one 12in sub or 2 8 inch subs Spreading out the low frequency sources also helps smooth the room response. | |
| Long throw 5 1/4 woofer?? These days, companies use the term "long throw" for anything over 5mm one way. Typical cheap woofers will have Xmax of 3mm, even less. But it's not like 5mm is gargantuan or even uncommon. Most decent woofers available from SEAS, Peerless, Scanspe... | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K @Johnnyb53, I'd have no problem driving any current speakers with my Sansui G8000 circa 1980. There are plenty of vintage receivers from the heyday that would easily handle anything the modern speaker market has to offer. Big power supplies were t... | |
| Possible to use active x-over with integrated amp? Two methods. Use a passive high pass filter consisting of a capacitor in line between the amp and preamp. Not the best solution, but it does work.Second, if you don't mind purchasing another piece of gear, you could get a miniDSP. | |
| Speaker question You could probably get away with a single sub, especially if you always listen in the same spot. You would simply move the sub around until you find the position that gives you the best overall sound. | |
| Speaker question Two benefits from adding small subs. You can high pass the monitors and relieve the woofers of deep bass duty which will clean up the mids and allow your amp to deliver more power without clipping (provided you high pass the signal to the amp).The... | |
| Speaker question It all depends on how much larger an enclosure you can fit there, and how much sensitivity you're willing to sacrifice.Just keep in mind that it doesn't take much of a loss in sensitivity to require the amp to reach its peak output on transients (... | |
| Speaker question More low end without increasing size will require you to live with lower sensitivity which will require more amplifier power to hit the same sound pressure levels. That's just the physics of speaker enclosures. | |
| Room Acoustics and Speaker interaction. I think you're realizing that the room dominates when it gets that small, and that nothing you do will alleviate the problems with placement near a wall behind the speakers, which will cause all kinds of response anomalies in the lower mids and up... | |
| HELP Best speakers btw 1000$ and 3000$. Real tests There are big tradeoffs going for the transient perfect designs. The biggest, in my opinion, is the rather poor power response that can result. Move off the design axis, and the transient perfect character disappears due to changing the distance t... | |
| HELP Best speakers btw 1000$ and 3000$. Real tests Phase aligned can mean many things. Linkwitz Riley 2nd and 4th order two ways are phase aligned in the crossover region by definition, even if the baffle is not time aligned. But LR2 system response requires the tweeter to be wired out of phase wi... | |
| Budget Speaker Recommendation? You would be hard pressed to better the Behringer Truth monitors. They have flat, smooth response from 50Hz and up and most importantly, fit your budget.Check out Parts Express for the Behringer B2031P.You can also see actual measured response at ... | |
| Speakers around 4K: Ascend vs Tekton vs Vapor Disclaimer: I'm associated with VaporWhere do you live? If you're near an owner, they might be open to having you over for an audition of the Cirrus.If you contact Vapor, I'm sure they'll be happy to put you in contact with someone in your area if... |
