| Zero Negative Feedback Amps with High Power Don't know about Butler but if you read the fine print for Monarchy, it's "no global negative feedback" at the bottom of some page. At least it was for the SE-100. | |
| High powered amps for low sensitivity Since you used "natural", have to answer Plinius. Dynamics without the dramatics. | |
| Is The Overall Weight Of A Speaker Important? Aluminum subhttp://funkywaves.net/gallery/gallery1_large.png | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? "Knob Turner Syndrome"... named after the famous recording engineer. | |
| Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system? I like to run active xovers for woofers and subwoofers but find them impractical against passive xovers for higher frequencies such as the tweeter/mid. A lot has to do with the size and cost of the xover components and assosciated phase shifts. A ... | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? Isn't everything about this business polarized?I've come to think that a simple 2 or 2.5 way with midwoofers and a seperate sub or two is more practical and flexible than a 3-way with big woofers. That doesn't necessarily imply little satellites. ... | |
| Does amp output V decrease by adding gain stage? Is that the input sensitivity? Balanced or RCA? You might need one hulk of a preamp. | |
| Speakers with fullness and weight? Duke's thinking along the same way I was. Speaker builders can't anticipate the room, placement and "loudness" you listen at and we generally don't live in anechoic chambers. There is a transition from 2Pi space to 4Pi space. Baffle step compensat... | |
| Genesis 501s Would suggest looking at the Salk Veracity series. Sealed with Raal ribbon tweeters come closest to the Genesis spiral planars. Custom finishes available. | |
| wht is the difference between good and bad sound ? For myself, in literary terms, it's called suspension of disbelief. Which doesn't mean convinced but real enough and engaging enough to, as Sculley said, "I want to believe". Makes it expensive for a skeptic. | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher%E2%80%93Munson_curves | |
| Who and what is this BOO Audio? Sounds kind of scary to me. | |
| What's with 4 ohm speakers? Speaking of tweeters, Morel offers nearly identical MDT29's in both 4 and 8 ohm versions. As rated, the 4 ohm is 92 dB sensitivity and the 8 ohm is 89 dB. For a MTM, the 4 ohm would be more likely.So, just by halving impedance and not doubling dri... | |
| Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer? Previously thought I preferred "neutral", by comparison, until I actually measured. Makes me wonder what some consider "warm". | |
| What's with 4 ohm speakers? Tell you what I'm going to do. Got another couple projects coming up this summer. I'll make up a 'quick and dirty' mono cabinet with 4 small, induvidually sealed midwoofers. Each will have it's own terminals that I'll hook up individual, parallel ... |
