| Maggies with a subwoofer system - optimization? A First Watt B5 will fix the issue. External Crossover It features a two pole (12 dB/oct) low pass filter variable from 20 to 300 Hz in 20 Hz steps, and a high pass filter with 1 or 2 poles (6 or 12 dB/oct) which is also variable from 20 to 300 H... | |

| Center channel Well what about a BIGGER speaker like every HT (Guru) say to use, but VERY few seem to use it? I'm asking a serious question here. WHY do people insist on doing exactly what the "Guru" say to NOT to do and then wonder why there is a problem with a... | |
| DIY cables question Good learning experience and for the cost of some terminal ends. Try them my way. Try them MCs way.. You’ll like one way more. I like no solder. BUT soldered ends are tough to pull apart.The better way over both is to cold weld or use a hammer dye... | |
| DIY cables question I’d recommend re terminating your cable but don’t solder the ends.Strip the ends back mechanically join the strands together. Split the number of strands in 1/2, then 1/2 them again. Twist all 4 equal parts clockwise. Then join two of the 4 and tw... | |
| Why does a dent to a tweeter not affect sound quality? Yep fiesta75, that's them all right. They look weird but they sure work.I used 12" Eminence 103 E in a Mids column not Mid Bass mids.. 2500 hz and down, that weezer sure helped with the beaming. Using a 12" at that high of frequency have glaring m... | |
| Center channel http://pointillistic.com/vmps-audio/RMX.htmIf you wheel down just a bit. That 3 piece Elixir set was on a SST analog processor. What the heck is that? Summation without cancelation like a mono signal. BUT it's a modified MONO signal. Mac has a ver... | |
| Why does a dent to a tweeter not affect sound quality? It is mainly for protection and air leaks. When the cone is modified a phase plug either fixed to the cone or stationary can be used. There is a place for weezer tech too. Very interesting phase plug tech, I use it. Mine are stationary.The cone bo... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? 190 lbs on points will move, that is way to light.. Add 200-250 to the top, then on springs...Mass load then spring load!! Getting close now..Serious BASS in my shop. A speaker on spikes with any width to any side would be dancing across the floor... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? Let me say it a different way. The cabinets ability to get rid of vibration.How fast andHow much.You can control certain frequencies to the structure via sound coat and or dampening structurally. Drivers themselves can have dampening material adde... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? Your inference is 97% of people on ANYTHING couldn't tell the difference. I think you like A/B testing too, don't believe that a fuse can change the sound of a piece of gear, cables don't matter and what else?Are you just here to tell people they ... | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? No it's not subjective, and yes it is in a vacuum. Because I've had sets of 57s Quads Maggies, EMTs, Apogee, BG, Monsoons, Sound lab, Infinity IRS series and an over 100 pairs I've made. ALL planar and or ribbon based.Strathearns are the best. I m... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? Nobody “takes” vibrations out of cabinets. Cabinets are designed to resist resonances, and by coupling them to a large mass (read, the floor) their propensity to resonate is further reduced. <<<<<<<<<<<<<&... | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? The best Mids Strathearn.I want to build a set of Strathearn 24" ribbons 3 per side for the MIDS and Aurum Cantus G1 Ribbon Tweeter for the highs. Mount them in an enclosure not OB. They always mount them in an open baffle and a dipole. I’m thinki... |
