| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand I know a bunch of very smart people with terrible ideas, my brother, a PhD in aquatic acoustics from MIT being one of them. It is hard to imagine how such a smart guy can be so stupid. Anyway, the Sound Labs ESL is a full range speak... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand A line source does not have to be thin like a ribbon. The most impressive characteristic of a liner source aside from higher acoustic power is that they do not send any sound up toward the ceiling or down towards the floor. You can m... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand Not only do I have a REAL line source speaker, I have a real line source subwoofer array. Perhaps what you are talking about is the fact that most "line sources" lose their line source behavior at some low frequency depending on the ... | |
| Speaker Isolation tweaks ? Get a MiniDSP SHD and you can make your speakers do anything you want. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm Vermont also has great riding, but New Hampshire rules with the Harley crowd because you do not have to wear a helmet here. They think that putting along at 30 MPH means you can't get your head squished by a run away truck or a WOMAN in an S... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand What is a pseudo line source? Do you have stadium concerts down under? If you go to one you can hear midrange/bass line sources. The sound is usually awful. I do not bother any more. The problem with most "line source" speakers is ... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand Sorry if you got that impression, but this is pretty basic stuff. The book is really good and would make a good read for any one who wants to discuss speaker design. You bring up useful issues, but they all have boundaries. You can u... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @dogberry It is the timing of the reflections that is important, early reflections being the worst. Late reflections dictate the sound of the room. Early reflections should be eliminated as much as is possible. The best way to do this is with spea... | |
| Dustcover Blues @lewm I'm pretty good at keeping the dust out of the house. The workshop is indeed a listening room......of a different sort. It is powered by 4 Mirage speakers and an old Adcom amp that refuses to die. The music is shipped down to the shop by a ... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm With a very expensive Earthworks microphone. It is perfectly flat from 10 Hz to 30 kHz. They send each mic with it's own curve. If you had already modified your speakers the JC 1s would not have liked it at all. I blew mine up. Both died wit... | |
| Dustcover Blues @lewm Keep up that attitude Lew:-) | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm Actually, I think they are $45 K now. I can say definitively that bi amping the transformers does not work. It is impossible to keep the amps from interfering with each other. I tried every permutation. Our OTLs do a fine job of driving the... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @bdp24 Interesting speaker with a few obvious problems. The tweeter is too wide which will cut down on it's horizontal dispersion at very high frequencies, the space in the middle is also a problem and the tweeter is not long enough, it will beam ... | |
| Dustcover Blues @lewm And that is why Howard Johnson's made 28 flavors. Best Hot Dogs ever. The idea behind a suspension Lew is to isolate the cartridge from all environmental mechanical vibration including anything coming from it's own plinth including the dust... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm To be fair to Dr West, he had to conjure up a way to make the speaker work with a variety of amps and rooms. I think for most people his solution is a reasonable compromise. Most people are not like you and me. They think we are crazy rippin... |
