| Placing B&W 805S bookshelf speakers (stands? risers?) Sound Anchors should have solution for you. http://soundanchors.com/products/hi-fi-home-theater | |
| What are some smaller names that compete with the big names in Audio? Cool. I bet I would like them. Interesting the Canadian importer lists Piega, which has a fairly similar design but with ribbon tweeters. | |
| What are some smaller names that compete with the big names in Audio? I am sometimes frustrated by poor product distribution, like with Brodmann and dc10audio. I liked Brodmann’s piano and piano vocal demonstration, but of course they should be great at that type of music. The design is a little funny, so not sure i... | |
| Visit to Magnolia Proves Interesting In relation to the T3 compared to the other speakers you auditioned, I agree that you got an excellent deal. I have not heard the T2. These speakers are a homogenous group;. There are more interesting designs around $10k; unfortunately they harde... | |
| Speaker Driver Material & The Sound of Dissimilar Materials Soundwaves are what people hear in which there is a frequency and time element. Try investigating harmonics (distortion) and ASDR envelope. There is difference between free vibration of an insturment and forced vibration of speaker. | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive ctsooner, thank you for the direct response. | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive What are the prices of vandersteen replacement drivers? Who makes them? You say paper cones have a lot of breakup? Can you please give example of driver and speaker model? I do not regularly see it as a direct problem for end user. I also looked u... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt I was just looking elasticity and density on another site. Its a little more dense but also little more rigid, which is offsetting in simple resonance equation, so hard to say. Wood isn't so homogenous in all directions either. Going to be close i... | |
| 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... |
