| What's going on with the audio market? "This stuff has a long lifespan, unlike a cellphone"Hence the MkII dinner bells. "Come and get it!"What I don't fully understand is how fragile the used market in the wake of audiogon changes. It appears to me the trading is way down; I have to wa... | |
| Am I the only one to opt-out on the Sopra 2's? After hearing them three times I wonder if rake/tilt is a real thing for their setup. Each time to me they were disjointed; I was cognizant of the drivers and the cabinet. The sound changed oddly with listening distance. Not so with the utopias or... | |
| Help Me Choose Timber Nation Rack-- All Wood or Threaded Rod? My post has nothing to do with maple, but I do have a Finite Elemente rack. Vibration isolation is preventing vibration transmission from one source to another, which wood itself does not do. There are different methods, but the one used in all ra... | |
| Please comment on your experience with Plantation shutters. Yes they look great, In my limited expertise, I think the bandwidth over which shutters diffuse is going to be fairly narrow. | |
| Help Me Choose Timber Nation Rack-- All Wood or Threaded Rod? Hard to take seriously a company that advertises a block of wood as isolation. A metal rod is going to resonate at higher frequencies than a wood one, so transmissability is going to be higher for more lower frequencies for metal than wood. But I ... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? I once heard the Super duper HL5+ plus with Lyngdorf. Wild demo in that it fixed the Harbeths. It would behoove them to mechanically align the drivers, which of course wouldn't make them HL5s anymore. | |
| Speaker Pricing and Reviews The examples only include three speakers, two of which are different versions of the same model. Are there more of "so many" speakers that have the same response?I don’t find the GE to match the frequency response of the B&Ws exactly. What I s... | |
| Audio Forums, On-line Store Fronts, and the Art-of-Deception How do I become a shill? Are there fanboys that hope to graduate in to being shills? I can recall a couple times where that seemed to be the case, but not sure of the mechanics. "You can't cheat an honest man" | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? RE: Charney speakersHorning Hybrid, which can also be heard in NYC, also comes with Lowther. I believe also the DX65. It "cheats" with a tweeter and shared sort of T-line back loaded horn thing shared by midrange and bass drivers. It was pretty dy... | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker I don't think it is an analogy but a non-specific, useless characterization. If you are listening to a stereo what good is asking yourself, "analytic or musical"? | |
| Building. sound board, ceiling defractor. An option is to look up quadratic residue diffuser to make one of them. Your max depth of 1.5" limits diffusion down to only over 2000hz. (The depth is 1/4 of targeted wavelength). You will need dividers between wells since it looks like most of t... | |

| Opinions: Joseph Audio Pulsar vs Dynaudio Conficence C1 vs Totem Element Fire vs ????? You may have room modes at 40-50hz and worse around 80hz. Don’t know if you really need to go to monitors or more likely just smaller floorstanders. The world is your oyster at your budget if you want to lop off LF. Raidho X1 is an option. It has ... |
