| B&W 702s or Revel F208s I would stick to the Revel over Focal. The Aria 936 can't match the Revel lower bass response, doesn't have as well damped cabinet, and presents a bit a load on a partnering amp. The Revel IMHO, is step up from this Focal model. | |
| More Bad News AT Thiel The moment they released the 3rd Avenue series as a replacement for all prior lines, it was over and done with. Jim Thiel speakers were special and it revolved around the principles that was engineered into each product.Coincident drivers, time an... | |
| Magico A3 Other than you can have it any color you want, so long as its black, its very impressive release. It appears that many builders are targeting this price point, each with a distinctive approach. Just a few off hand, Dynaudio Contour 60, Revel F228B... | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II Being voiced and bright are not mutually exclusive and B&W is another example of a voiced design. Bad, good, all the ear of the beholder but as you said, its not exactly a forgiving design and you didn't mention the source material as its ofte... | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II In this grouping, the MA's are going to be the only speakers that will be full range in room. It faces an issue with integration of the AMT tweeter and the mid range, but I'm sure that isn't surprising and will need a bit more setup work in room i... | |
| Persona 3f vs B&W 802D2s B&W have a few design principals and it makes their sound a specific taste. The first and for most important being they are a very mid range forward design and the intent being to create an immediate and palpable vocal performance. They use th... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? @shadorne Completely ignoring the point and instead demonstrating some odd ideology that isn't mat-sci. The notable aspect about Stereophile measurement is the result is system based, which I do not know if the Seas is the same and can not be comp... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? If a Be tweeter is properly constructed, there won't be any ringing in the audible band and well above it. While it has very low internal damping, implemented properly it is considered what would be called high damping, so rigid that it really doe... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? In terms of the diaphragm, both Al and Ti have very similar stiffness with a given density. So when shaped, the weight will be quite similar between the to when targeting a specific stiffness performance, but the titanium part will thin in compari... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? My best guess to the 21 bit question is the utilization of the DAC chips in a balanced pair per channel configuration. Not that in any way changes the chips ability to process the data, but possibly lowers its noise floor to a degree in which they... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? Rounding and truncation are similar, but with rounding being a broader function over truncation in this use. The idea behind rounding in the case of the Yiggy was that either method would increase quant noise, rounding would result a potentially l... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @shadorne The specification in itself is honestly rather vague, which is another gripe the entire industry as measurements must be standardized to permit consumers to compare. Far too many brands take liberties with specifications. Sure, it could ... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @shadorne The ATC's can be highly dynamic, but go ahead and call ATC if you like, they publish the maximum SPL is 117db at 1m, and at typical listening distances will be around 110db or less. Also note, the distortion figures aren't provided but I... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? Yeah, the publication industry and a good deal of the industry have become so oddly slanted, its become the true impediment to high fidelity.One example, and this has vastly greater importance than this bit depth discussion, is the idiotic effusi... | |
| I’d appreciate opinions from RMAF 2017 Show attendees on the Elac Adante AF61 There were a couple of reports that gave the Adante's a best value remark at the show. There were also credible reports in regards to the Tekton Design speakers as being extraordinary as well. Something I will note about these two is novel an uniq... |
