| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs bdp24, I think you are confusing terms. The opposite of dipole is unipole.Yes, Maggies are dipole throughout the frequency range as they radiate from both sides but 180 degrees out of phase. Bipoles are speakers that radiate from both sides but in... | |

| Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus Yes flatbackround, getting old sucks. Interesting solution to the problem. You could just stay in A.fib. Maybe only a third of the beats will conduct. If you are comfortable in A.fib. I would stay in A.fib long before I would take any medicine lik... | |
| Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus Flatblackround, I hope what you had was an MRA of your neck and brain. Magnetic Resonance Arteriogram. Usually the cause of your problem is plaque in an artery plus or minus a conductive hearing loss. Sound is not getting from the eardrum to the i... | |
| Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus Hi Samster, I'm a family doc and frankly, the only thing medicine has been able to do with tinnitus is make it worse. The technique I use the most is masking. Running a fan in the bedroom at night is an example. The constant droning will drown out... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Willgolf, you are blowing your horn in the wrong direction. There is no point source radiator (every horn system ever made) that will fill a room that size with a realistically sized sound stage. Only a line source will do that. If it is volume yo... | |
| Will a pair of Manley tube amps be a good match for Martin Logan ESL 11A's? The Acoustat Model X was released with the direct drive amp in 1976. He came out with the Transformers somewhere around 1979 because the dealers were telling him that people wanted to use their own amps plus without subwoofers the direct drive amp... | |
| Fans on amps. I'll go with Elizabeth on this one. The only problem with fans is the noise and perhaps the added complexity. Heat sinks are big, heavy and expensive. Commercial amps virtually always use fans for all the above reasons. Krell used fans for quite a... | |
| Will a pair of Manley tube amps be a good match for Martin Logan ESL 11A's? jafox, I have listened to JC-1 extensively. You can not find one even a little iffy review. They are all dramatically positive. My review is exactly the same. The only amp I have heard on ESLs sound better is the Pass XA 200.8 and I suspect the At... | |
| Metal cabinet speakers Geoffkait, when was Klipsch founded. I do not know the History of Audio Machina as to when they first released their product but unless they come up with some low end products that regular folks will like they will be history just like Nearfield A... | |
| How much power do I need? Find out using this method... Hi elevick. You have solved the problem by having very efficient loudspeakers and with your Mac you should have no problem making your ears bleed as long as the speakers can perform at those volume levels. Many if not most can't. But I have no exp... | |
| Will a pair of Manley tube amps be a good match for Martin Logan ESL 11A's? bdp24 and georgehifi are absolutely correct. You may want to read Roger Sanders white papers to get a contrasting view. I personally am not a big fan of using tube amps on ESLs which like jafox I have been running for decades. One transformer is b... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs bdp24, I have owned my fair share of Maggies and have installed more than all of you have ever listened too. Yes they are dipoles and do not radiate to the sides but that has absolutely nothing to do with what happens at the front wall and how tha... | |
| Sound quality vs. volume wanderingmoo, the only thing you are going to do with blankets is block very high frequencies. There seems to be a lot of misconceptions out there. First of all the frequency sensitivity of our ears changes immensely with volume. As the volume dro... | |
| Metal cabinet speakers Can I sell you a CD Re-animator? Or maybe some Dark Matter Optical Treatment. I thought you had something to do with AudioMachina. I had never heard of them. So, now I won't offend anyone??? Running a 3 inch driver full range is almost the sillies... |
