| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr Atom, Those would be 4+4s. BIG speakers. Two subwoofers are not going to be near enough. I use 4 subs with 2+2s. You should put two inside and two outside the Stats preferably against walls. Cross over 100 to 125 Hz. As I said in the post above I ... | |
| Turntable feedback Schmitty1 it sounds like the cartridge you are using may be too stiff for your tone arm. You might try putting a more compliant cartridge in there and see if your problem goes away. I have seen instances where bass on the recording was not enough ... | |
| Phono cartridge suggestions sought The Audio-Technica ART -9 is a great suggestion. The Ortofon Quintet Black S is another cartridge that punches way above its price point.read reviews and get a listen if you can which is admittedly hard.I would never get a cartridge re tipped by a... | |
| My tonearm must be wired out of phase Would be unusual. Check with a meter. You can replace the little female plugs on the cartridge end and put the right colors in place. If it really is the case that one side was wired out of phase it is just because the tech soldered on one of the ... | |
| Loud hum from left and right when passing ht signal through Hook the the receiver directly to the amp bypassing the ---- all together. Hum still there? | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr bdp24, even with neodymium magnets the field strength drops of very quickly. You can increase the magnets deeper front to back but the you start to make the ribbon beam and cause diffraction effects plus the magnets, even the Chinese ones get proh... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr barbecue with it. It is very fragile compared to other materials but nothing else works as well as aluminum. I tried making a titanium ribbon speaker with titanium foil and neodymium magnets. It worked great until the ribbon started to get warm (h... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr bdp24- you are absolutely correct. The rest of the speaker is planar magnetic. You can not make true ribbons very wide. Magnetic energy drops off at the square of the distance so you can not spread the magnetism much of a distance. The Diva Mid ra... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr richopp, I am very fond of Magneplanar speakers. I have owned two different models including Tympany 3's and have set them up for at least 6 clients/friends. They are a fabulous speaker for the money and they are relatively easy to set up if you h... | |
| To Couple or Decouple? simonmoon, how did you decouple the loudspeakers from the floor? | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations The Volti Vittoria looks nicely made and would be a fun speaker to work with. I would get two bass cabinets though. There remains a phase/time issue between the drivers. It seems only Avantgarde addresses this by staggering the drivers but the Tri... | |
| Stacking subs to save space Listen both stacked and apart. What sounds better to you? | |
| Insulation thickness Tannoy Gold pkvintage, contact cement insulation to all the cabinet walls the loosely pack the enclosure avoiding the driver and the port. I'm not sure the cotton capsule stuff will work well. Fiberglass and synthetic fiber wool sticks to itself nicely so it ... | |
| To Couple or Decouple? Chewing gum. Glazing tape if you have TMJ syndrome. | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? celtic66, every recording has a "right" volume. And that right volume is multi-factorial. It depends on the type of music, the way it was recorded and mastered, the way your own system is equalized and the way our ears change frequency response wi... |
