| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Atmasphere, they were an undersung product but the company had trouble finding itself and was trying to be all things to all people. Initially all the Acoustats used a "direct drive" high voltage tube amplifier. The first Model was the "X" It wa... | |
| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? The Lyngdorf 3400 is the way to go here. It has everything you need and is built to a higher specification. Just make sure you plan on staying 2 channel. | |
| ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement Audiotomb, i was not convicting you of any of those traits. Your way of describing your cartridge made me think of those things. I'm sure the cartridge is great but a more measured and scientific approach would go down better politically. For inst... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Clio, Roger is absolutely right. ESLs should not be allowed to go under 100 Hz. To destroy that beautiful mid range with stuff any old crude sub woofer can do is a travesty. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Tim, If you have been following those of us with panel loudspeakers who have a lot of experience with sub woofers, there is a strong belief that removing the very low bass from this type of speaker decreases distortion and increases power handling... | |
| Is it time in your hobby to build a speaker kit? The challenge is to make a speaker as good as or better than a Wilson or Magico for less than a fraction of the money. The best drivers can still be plenty expensive. I liked the comment above about making plate speakers and wholeheartedly agree. ... | |
| ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement Audiotomb, I am glad that you are happy with your cartridge but whenever I read these floral descriptions on how great a new piece of equipment is I think first that the person is trying to sell me something, or the reviewer is trying to get his o... | |
| Frequency response + or - 1 dB ?? Ptss, you can make speakers pretty close to flat when tested in an anechoic chamber. There will be some unit to unit variation. The problem is that once you put them in a real room their response curve changes. The Japanese tried to design loudspe... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Rix, it is impossible to isolate a driver putting out low bass. The pressure wave itself is what makes the whole house vibrate, not the woofers connection to the house.clio you want to handle Tim. I'm tired of talking to myself.millercarbon you ju... | |
| ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement You forgot to mention it cost 17 large:) It will give Clearaudio an excuse to boost the price of the Goldfinger another grand. Use it in good health! | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Tim, actually clio has a 12 foot wide sub woofer which goes deeper than just a single sub. Remember drivers closer together than 1/2 the wavelength of the highest frequency you want to reproduce act acoustically as one driver. Larger subs will all... | |
| Frequency response + or - 1 dB ?? Audiokinesis is dead right on this one. My system is adjusted to be down 9 db at 20 kHz at 0 db. I would like at add one other variable to Audiokinesis's point and that is volume. As Fletcher and Munson noted the frequency response of our ears cha... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound None of this shit has anything to do with the way an amplifier sounds into normal loads. If you are dumb enough to buy Wilsons then you deserve what you get. Ugly enclosures with crappy drivers and ridiculous cross overs. | |
| Low Sensitivity Speakers Compression Issue. Horns can be made with very little coloration and certainly get the nod in terms of efficiency. If you are in love with low powered amps there is no better solution. However, I don't like them. I do not like them because they are point source radi... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Clio I find your choice of a 4th order cross over at 100 Hz interesting. I can use any slope I want up to 10th order and can change cross overs on the fly. After eons of experimentation I settled on a 6th order low pass and a 4th order high pass a... |
