| Paint that helps diffuse sound? Automotive undercoat. That would look great. | |
| Sloped baffle Bif,Don't get me wrong. Phase is taken into consideration on any competently designed speakers. My first didn't but I wasn't particularly competent then. Not yet either. Still, with four 6-1/2's per side, they sounded more dynamic than any "cohere... | |
| Sloped baffle http://www.audioholics.com/room-acoustics/human-hearing-phase-distortion-audibility-part-2That's bound to be misunderstood. Related articles in links.The 30 milliseconds I mentioned previously came from a U-tubed Earl Geddes seminar on multiple su... | |
| Sloped baffle Reversing the polarity of a mid in a 3-way or a tweeter in a 2-way is just a result of correcting for the phase shift of the crossover. The exception being 4th order. It's about getting the drivers to sum correctly. If they were 180 degrees out of... | |
| Sloped baffle The best answer I've heard for using a sloped baffle came from Paul Hales,... "It looks cool"...http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/699hales/ | |
| Sloped baffle In speaker designs that I've only simulated for now, sloping the baffle 10 degrees allowed a slightly higher crossover with the same drivers, which is not so arbitrary. In a 3-way, it also allowed symmetric slope crossovers. In a 2-way, adjusted f... | |
| Active crossover for 804S and Rythmik subs? The Marchand is quite good and since you don't need additional sub controls, should work well.If you just want a high pass between the preamp and amp for the main speakers, you can look at Harrison Labs. | |
| two way v. three way speakers Magico has 3-ways too. Look how much they cost. And there's your answer. | |
| L Pad Control ruin sound quality??? L-pads are usually only used for tweeters because of the power handling.For subs, look at Goldpoint attenuators or the Emotiva passive control. Another option is a pro amp with gain control. Even better, NHT X2, Paradigm X30 or Reckhorn. | |
| No binding post a good idea? Have you seen these:http://www.electracable.com/tubeconnector.htm | |
| Why speaker lines come and go You know the adage: How do you become a miliionaire in the audio business? Start with ten million. | |
| To port or not to port Too often I've seen commercial speakers using too small a box for the driver. Whether this is packaging or marketing, it leads to a peak in the bass. Are you actually using a high pass on the bookshelfs or just a low pass on the subs?NHT makes sea... | |
| How far from the back wall are your speakers? Aside from dipoles, OB's and omni's, the amount of BSC integrated into the speakers generally determines the distance the speakers should be placed from the wall. Unfortunately, that's not an advertised spec. Also found that getting too close to t... | |
| I just installed new furnance and AC Common problem. High eff furnaces with 2 motors (combustion and blower) can make more noise. There are quiet ones but they get expensive. Sometimes it's just a question of setup and getting fan speed/deltaT to 60 degrees or manufacture's spec's. S... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? What I understand less than women are audiophiles. Too many varieties of each. At least most women are logical. |
