| How thick should the front baffle of speakers be? fsonicsmith, it does not have to be eliminated. There are two types of distortion, Linear and non linear (this is psycho acoustic babble now, not my own) Linear distortion is alterations in frequency response which are very noticeable. Enclosure r... | |
| Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S daveyf I could not agree more. You have to here some direct to disk recordings such as the JVC Lee Retinour series or Sheffield Labs Tower of Power Direct. Those records tell you where ultimate is and none of the MoFi discs compare sonically. Mayb... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr Atom, Nice going. Before the Spectra Days Acoustat did make a speaker called the 4+4. It was a 4 panel wide 2+2 and boy did they rock. I probably would have bought a pair if I could have afforded them then.They had two interfaces so you had to use... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution hleeid they are both doing the exactly the same thing but DEBRA is using bass reflex enclosures and Audiokinesis uses sealed enclosures. I would go with Audiokinesis for two reasons. 1st is I prefer sealed enclosures for subwoofers. 2nd is I just ... | |
| Speaker Spikes and related items.... dseltz is partially correct. Heating the speaker deferentially (expand and contract) may cause the enclosure to crack eventually. Water will not condense on the speaker unless your are refrigerating it for some reason. You can get registers that h... | |
| How thick should the front baffle of speakers be? simonmoon, thank you for being the voice of reality here. Cheers.The reason they used plywood back in the old days was that they had not developed MDF yet which is a far better inexpensive material to make loudspeakers from because of it's damping... | |
| Coated woofer - why? thosb, I think as simmonmoon suggests it is time to replace those drivers.Modifying drivers in the context of a speaker system without ample test equipment is a sketchy thing to do. As an example the coating added mass to the cone which changes th... | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? otherones, depends on what you like listening to and how loud. If you are a stadium rocker forget it. Jazz, classical and light rock at moderate volumes no problem. Personally, I think you are making a mistake. Save a bit longer and get a more po... | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone Cleeds you have to be kidding me. Can somebody help me out here?What you just said is my living room is symphony hall. But, then it is Skuller's (a jazz club) and next it is an open amphitheater. It morphs into anything that is on the record label... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Tim, Once I read Gedde's explanation of how DBAs work it makes absolute sense. My problem was that Duke was using terms that I was not familiar with that were not self explanatory. He was talking in a language I did not understand. Now that I know... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr noodlyarm, those are very pretty ESLs. Do they have curved panels like ML or are they segmented panels like Acoustats. Also how tall are they?They are very tall but I can't tell from the pictures I have seen.Mike | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone I am afraid Mr Allison is OTL or as Eric Dolphy would say, "out to lunch."The information that provides the ambient characteristic of the room/hall the recording was made in is in the recording not in the room you are playing it back in. All your ... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Tim, in this case I don't think psycho-acoustics is the reason. An example of psycho-acoustics is masking. MP3 compression strategies operate on this principle. The normal undistorted music masks the distortion because or brains can only pay atten... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr jperel9, all you have to do is remove any grill cloth, take a heat gun and wave it over the diaphragm at a distance of 6 inches. You will actually see the mylar tighten up! But BIG WARNING do not stop waving and leave the gun pointed at one spot. ... | |
| Help needed, speaker cable - must R & L be the same length? Quite roberjerman. Most people say that you should use equal lengths for both channels everywhere. This is expensive and leaves a lot of curled up wire around. As long as the wires are specified to operate well at the longest lengths and overall k... |
