| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Dave,Here's a few links to reviews and impressions on the Summas:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1507485#post1507485http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1527971#post1527971http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthr... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Two horn speakers with your stated requirements of wide dynamic range with low distortion at high output levels are the Summa by Dr. Geddes and the Jazz Modules by Duke Lejune of Audiokinesis. I have heard neither of the these speakers but the gen... | |
| Best option If you're using a computer as a source I would hope that at the very least you are using Foobar with a decent sound card like the sub $100 EMU 0404 or the $30 Chaintech if it's still made. Or better yet, short of getting a Squeezbox, go to BB and ... | |
| Best option Bought the original Forte a couple of years ago and in researching for opinions in the forums at the time, the consensus from a few that have had experience with both iterations of the forte, was that the original is the better of the two. I perso... | |
| Any high quality music servers out there? Sammie,I havn't desided yet which of the two companies I 'll have perform the mods. Both are reputable vendors and have been around long enough. These guys know what they are doing and if you go over the listed mods point by point they seem to be ... | |
| Any high quality music servers out there? A very cost effective way with alleged excelent sonics, is going with the Slim Devices Squeeze Box II modified by either Red Wine Audio or Bolder Cable. This gadget would render your PC as the music server with the added beneffit of having the com... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp Agisthos,Brown Electronic Labs (BEL) model 1001 MKIV or MKV | |
| Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp Mikej,Why used? Even new the BELs' are in the same price range as the Dreads'. Unless of course BEL is no longer and going used is the only option. Is this the case? | |
| Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL? Plato,Not trying to take anything away from the RM 30's since I haven 't heard them, but with a height of 22 inches from the 3 stacked planar drivers, it hardly constitutes a line array. Unless of course your ears are about a foot or two away from... | |
| Whats a good inexpensive passive pre If the built-in amps input impedance is high enough for a passive to avoid limiting dynamics, then I would have to second the Axiom reccomendation. | |
| Infinity Renaissance 90 -VS- VMPS RM 30 OR RM 40. VMPS does not license from ET. Sonigistix, the OEM for the panels used now by VMPS was a lisencee of Eminent Tech. When Sonigistix closed shop VMPS bought these planar drivers in large quantities. Speaking from personal experience ET's are some of... | |
| How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers My most sincere condolences on your loss. | |
| How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers Bobbyapalkovic Wrote:"understand that the merlin tsm is a more damped design so it has a higher q"Bobby,I thought the higher the Q the lower the damping ie. the oscillation takes longer to die out. As it pertains to roll off characteristics (as in... | |
| what is "unity gain" ? I should also mention, that passive pre amps are unity gain devices (since they have no active amplification circuits), but they can't source additional current. This is the reason why many feel that they lack in dynamics albeit beeing transparent... | |
| what is "unity gain" ? In simple terms, it's when an "amplification device" (it's usually pre amps) doesn't provide voltage gain, but just sources the current needed into low input impedance loads. This is otherwise known as a buffer. I used the word amplification in qu... |
