| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Another vote for Eminent Technology LFT-8b. I think they punch waay above their weight class. Any (used) *8" model can be brought up to the current model for a modest cost, with mfg support...including the latest LFT-8c..which is getting rave re... | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down I watched a few of his videos. For me, not that it matters, the whole thing doesn't add up. He has 36K subscribers and most of his videos get a minimal number of views (5K-25K). I think it's reasonably safe to say he's not making lunch money (on... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? I did hear a significant widening and raising of the soundstage this morning when trying a number of new panel placement angles(off axis rotating away from my listening chair). Very happy with the results. ..and I think I have a final design... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? I understand what you’re saying. I’ve done a fair amount of research and have viewed a number of Danny’s videos on open baffles, dipoles, baffle width, baffle diffraction..etc. As for one owner claiming something...good to be aware of, but lot... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? A rough idea of what the re-frame might look like. The oval on top would probably a carving of some sort. I'm thinking maybe a walnut / bordeaux wine color dyed cherry mix. | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down @rpeluso Interesting. He must go through a fair amount of equipment to support a channel. I'll have to take a look. HR, given the size of the guy, that's sort of humorous. I can see a new employee during orientation.. Jay: "..and that's prett... | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down I never heard of the guy previous to this thread. I don’t wander around, mentally or in any other way, beyond the occasional audio show, in ultra-high end audio. After the comments above I was curious(disclosure, I’m building a set of GR speakers ... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? @bdp24 I think the retail now is $3900. I paid $1300 and, given how they sound, that seems nearly free. I figured at that price I could move them along if they didn't work for me, but, they're not going anywhere, anytime soon. The previous own... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? @bdp24 "@nogaps: I myself almost bought the GR Research Super V to build. Before that could happen I was introduced to the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, an open baffle/dipole planar-magnetic hybrid loudspeaker (p-m for 180Hz and up, an 8" dynamic w... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please @ronboco "...I find the same song on tidal sounds different from the same song on Qobuz and I prefer the Qobuz song. " The difference in sound between the two has been noticed by many people for a while. "..Qobuz sounds better.." no one that I... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please @ronboco "One thing I don’t understand is if I wanted to switch to say tidal and import my playlist from Qobuz how does a high rez song from Qobuz remain the same high rez song from Qobuz when it goes to tidal?" Qobuz has a global setting (insi... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please Just went through this as it triggered a concern I have about backing up things I’ve invested lots of time into. First, I tried Soundiiz. The web indicates you can use it to create a CSV (comma separated value) or TXT file, among others. Af... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? I just watched the video. Sounds like great set of speakers and mixed with the GR sub system..yikes, Cost is very reasonable if they sound like Steve says. I’ve always liked planar/EM types. Never owned a pair, but I make a point of listening to ... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? @tshark "...so how is something that I build (even a kit) going to give me exceptional sound?!" You off-load the design to someone else. That's the point of buying a kit and not designing the kit yourself. (..and many high end designs do get i... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? @vthokie83 The price listed above is in EU, it runs about $6300 US for the kit. Their price also includes the VAT. I think the VAT(usually a hefty %) is excluded for people ordering from the USA. Madisound also carries a Linkwitz LX521 "kit" of... |
