| What's with 4 ohm speakers? Sensitivity.Take a typical "8 ohm" midwoofer and double them up in parallel and you get 6 dB more. Realistically, more like 3.5 to 4 dB but also drops impedance by half. Problem is that impedance varies with frequency and the same midwoofer will h... | |
| Amp for PSB Stratus Gold http://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-aragon-8008st-2-channel-amplifier-2013-03-29-amplifiers-91748No harm in making a reasonable offer. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Has anybody yet suggested cold solder joints somewhere in the speaker or DC saturated inductors. | |
| how to run a 230 volt line from my panel?? First off... Is this a house, townhouse or condo? Seen the latter 2 with 208V, sort of 2/3 phase.Second... What kind of equipment? Turntable, CDP, preamp or amp? If it's low power consumption, a step-up transformer (Topaz, Phoenix ...) might be ea... | |
| Best bookshelf w/ ribbon tweeter under $2000 http://www.skiingninja.com/GR-N2X-Ready-to-Play-p/grn2xfull.htmTechnically, a planar tweeter. GR midwoofer has a few dB of BSC without losing efficiency. Sealed, so bass is tight but at the cost of extension. Although I'm not familiar with this pa... | |

| Anybody find themselves revisiting old threads? I try not to be reminded of former stupidity. Sort of like visiting the ex, who has a long memory. | |
| Speakers that can be placed close to the back wall Vapor1. Interesting that you're focusing below 100 Hz instead of more typical diffraction loss or BSC below 500 Hz with, say, a 9 inch wide baffle. Something to do with the speaker depth? | |

| Could they sell a high-end amp without the fancy Always considered the industry to be very conservative. Would like to see more creative bling and design, other than blue lights. Halcro was unique. | |
| Can we increase dynamics? There are a number of plug-ins for Audacity. Haven't used them myself. From what I've understood so far, there are two basic types, peak and full spectrum. The latter makes louder louder and quieter quieter but is also associated with what's calle... | |

| one 12in sub or 2 8 inch subs 8", and even 10" sealed subs will roll off fairly high unless equalized or some sort of servo feedback is employed. Ported or passive radiator designs will give extra bass extension at the cost of larger cabinets and reduced transient response. If... | |
| Goof High-Efficiency bookslef speakers At $2500 the Sonist Concerto 2's aren't far from budget. 95 dB with a 8" woofer and Fountek ribbon. | |
| Long throw 5 1/4 woofer?? Excursion might move some air but getting anywhere near limits is guaranteed distortion. Makes it seem to sound louder though. |
