| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers As has been stated already, DSP is an abbreviation of Digital Signal Processing, and it can be implemented in different ways for different purposes. Most here refer to it as a means for digital room correction in listening environments with troubl... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @erik_squires -- Exciting project. Lets stop talking about subwoofers and talk about this project as a new 3-way speaker system. Instead of thinking of adding a subwoofer and crossing around 40-80Hz I’m now thinking 150 - 300 Hz. [...] A... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover @mrdecibel wrote: horn loading a sealed woofer? I do not understand. My AR 3a pair have a sealed woofer system. My best, MrD. The 15" woofer in your La Scala’s is placed in a sealed chamber from where the front wave of the woofer cone fires in... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover It appears Klipsch is mimicking the same type of bass loading with the new La Scala AL6 that they're using in the actively configured Jubilee version that saw the light a day a few years ago, with the goal to squeeze out some extra extension from ... | |
| Stereophile reviews the active Grimm LS1C @erik_squires wrote: Based on the driver sizes, this makes sense. It’s great they can bring the bass down to below 20 Hz but physics are unforgiving. They can’t possibly get to 20Hz with a tiny module in a large space. That’s just it, but t... | |
| Stereophile reviews the active Grimm LS1C I've heard the active Grimm speaker system (incl. the sub module) at a couple of occasions, and what has struck me with their sound fairly consistently is the coherency, tonal authenticity, balance, resolution and relative ease of presentation. Th... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover @devinplombier wrote: I (largely) agree with you on this subject. I’ve auditioned high-end active setups and found that they sounded wonderful. A conundrum and bottleneck of sorts is the DSP unit. As you pointed out, quality is important. Relat... | |

| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover @faustuss wrote: Interestingly, there is nothing new here and any well-seasoned hobbyist is well aware of the multitude of approaches to sound reproduction and accepts them as revelatory or rejects them out right.

| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover @m-db wrote: So the active crossover digitizes the input signal? If it’s an analogue input, yes, and so it has to be converted back to analogue from digital (where the Digital Signal Processing is taking place) on the output side of DSP before... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover @faustuss wrote: ... it’s wonderful you have the option to use the speakers without all the additional signal processing which is something I abhor! Really it's outboard active configuration that's the optional approach here, as passive config... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover These will be great upgrades for the two mentioned Klipsch models - both the new Tractrix horns + 2" exit cinema compression drivers, and not least the optional active configuration. It’s how I configure my horn-loaded speaker system as well, full... | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? @unreceivedogma wrote: Did I say “sound the same as new”? I did not. However, I obviously would not still be using them if I was not getting anything less than outstanding performance from them. It appears the post you were replying to ha... | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? Jeff Days’ vintage office system: These are heavy loudspeakers, somewhere in the 250 pound range each as a guesstimate. These vintage loudspeakers—like me, are over six decades old now—have accumulated a few scuffs and scrapes over the years, bu... | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? More modern, polyether-based foam surrounds are very durable, and when treated with a "foam guard" should last beyond 25 years. In any event direct sunlight is best prevented from reaching exposed cones to extend longevity of the surrounds and avo... |
