| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay @fsonicsmith wrote: The truth; it is not the role of a DAC, nor is it realistic to expect any DAC to provide holography, air, or decay. Those attributes come from two things-the recording and the loudspeakers. Everything in between can only scre... | |
| Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! @deep_333 wrote: I tried the active route with a GR speaker kit and minidsp’s stuff. It is easier with a diy kit, you simply set the passive crosssover aside and interface with the minidsp kit. I didn’t get the best sound there and i almost felt... | |
| JBL M2 Vs 4367 @deep_333 -- Good advice. @n_brio wrote: M2 has a power rating on 1200w at 8 ohm and 4367 300w with the same drivers are the x-over so mutch weaker in the passiv speaker? The 1,200 watts JBL M2 "rating" is really a reference to the Crown iTe... | |
| Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! @deep_333 -- Interesting topic. Never heard a well set-up multi channel system to convince me of its sonic/musical merits (which is also saying, implicitly, that I’ve heard a range of bland ones), not to say there aren’t good ones out there. As ... | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) Weiss DAC1. | |
| Battle of the Older DAC Some of the best DAC’s I’ve heard are based on older D/A chips and designs overall. If the design and implementation is solid and it leads to a natural, organic and "analogue" sound (my preference), it’s all that really matters. Carriers of that t... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! @deep_333 wrote: Paul’s vid describes the free lunch that he got with initial use of crappy drivers. How about this....Get the low distortion high excursion bells and whistles driver. Now, stack/integrate several of them so they don’t have to mo... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? @travbrow wrote: I thought the OP was interested in a good option that’s available to buy, not a DIY approach thats out of reach to most everyone? It’s interesting to read about the possibilities with DIY though, but to imply any other way is la... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! Paul McGowan of PS Audio on dismissing servo-feedback in his custom upgraded IRS V bass towers: https://youtu.be/1OdkRiwmYbE?t=101 Subwoofers from the outset of what are actually physically accommodating designs is the purist approach audiophile... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? @bdp24 wrote: The Rythmik servo-feedback system also compensates for the increase in voice coil temperature, which all woofers suffer from, regardless of their excursion capabilities. How would it do so - other than acting as a limiter? This ... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! Correction: presumably I was incorrect about the Borresen sub principle and it only utilizing the front wave of the woofer cones. They look to be mounted in a folded-baffle design (a so-called "RiPol" after Alex Ridtahler, short for Ridtahler Dipo... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! The DSL Matterhorn, as per the video, is actually a very large tapped horn which means both sides of the woofer cones are used for pressurization, so that the back wave of the cones build up down through the expanding horn path to the bottom of th... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? The dichotomy pointed to with regard to music vs. home theater oriented/labeled subs isn't one to follow with necessity, but rather one that rests with either camp and their potentially self-inflicted limitations. Some if not many of the so-called... | |
| Biwiring make any sense? @lanx0003 wrote: I completely agree if we are discussing vertical bi-amping, where one amp powers one speaker and the second amp powers the other; in this case, the amps would need to be matched to achieve the best performance. Of course, with... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? Speaking of a sub as "musical" in and by itself is somewhat misleading, and yet it’s not entirely without merit in a system context. Before getting to that however it’s primarily about the implementation of subs, as proper integration with both ac... |
