| Considerations prior to your next purchase This idea of needing to have laboratory perfect hearing is total BS. Even without perfect hearing, we can tell the difference between real life and reproduced music. Hi-fi has a long way to go before you’ll need perfect hearing to tell the differe... | |
| Considerations prior to your next purchase Wait- what? Aren't you Dana? Weren't you here? Oh well, in any case I am happy to help. Cover all my transportation, meals, quality adult beverages, and for a lot less than you will throw away on some wannabee poser I will do it all.Full disclosur... | |
| Power I would stretch a little, get the Decware, and consider it a long term investment in a high quality component with a lifetime guarantee. | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass Congratulations. In a sense, considering how long ago this approach was discovered, we are all late comers. Well, all but Duke. Even Tim who caught on I think it was something like a decade ago, even at that point the concept had been around a goo... | |
| Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels Click the link, look at the graph. It shows sound transmission rising from 400 to 4kHz. Has anyone ever heard sound coming through a wall? Does it sound like this? No. It is the exact opposite- the wall blocks higher frequencies more than lower. E... | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? Would you guys stop arguing about "Tekton Moabs"....I'm in marketing and simply put: If you don't respect Eric for his efforts building speakers and a company on top of that....and the creme is everyone knows them...a Marketing Coup.....the guy is... | |
| What's your dream speaker? It would be something like an Ulfberht, only with a crossover like mine, Townshend F1 wiring, and a cabinet shaped like an Avalon of composites like a Wilson. Eric hasn't built it yet. | |
| klipshorn speakers Also danager noted a big advantage: one in each corner and... done. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Duke- This is what I was talking about, and once you understand that, it will be clear why a small change in gain on the subwoofer amp typically results in a larger than expected change in perceived loudness. Or, to put it another way, why it take... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration golfnutz- You’re twisting it around MC, the whole purpose of level matching is to prevent you from trying to figure out what the volume on the subs should be. That’s why its called level matching.If you say so. I prefer to say it is to achieve a s... | |
| Best sub for music, “Best sub is no sub, There's nothing below 160hz, hardly a few cello notes and kettle drums, You guys are fooling youself.”Ralph is a gentleman, with impeccable physics. Takes a Brit however to get right to the point.https://youtu.be/0c5ynKJxnWI?t... | |
| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? Linaeum Model 10. Prominent warm mid-bass, a bit rolled off on top, but a lovely soundstage one listener said, "You're not listening to it you're swimming in it!" | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Why is there never any mention of level matching these DBA systems with the main speakers using an SPL meter? There is. All over the place. I've never done it. I listen with ears, not meters. So why would I care what a meter wants?Otherwise, would... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration I'm almost always talking about my DBA in terms of music. But I have to say, the effect with movies is if anything even more impressive. A good movie soundtrack through a high end stereo with a DBA is really something. | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? I give up. You guys are right. The Tekton Moab is the single most important component. |
