| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @atmasphere wrote: The signal itself is the source of dynamic contrast. Loudspeakers only take away from that; if you value dynamic contrast, using a speaker that has the least thermal compression will bring you closer to your goal. In this ligh... | |

| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @jon_5912 wrote: High power class D amps more than make up for the difference in dynamic contrast between low and high efficiency speakers. And how do they make up for that? There's only so much heat that can be dissipated in a given voice co... | |
| Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience @mrdecibel wrote: I am a horn lover / owner for 50+ years, but I do feel very large horn speakers ( like the Jubilee ) requires a greater distance between them and the listener, as my experience tells me. I cannot enjoy my ears feeling that they... | |
| Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience @mijostyn wrote: I have never heard Jubalees but have a lot of experience with K horns. They do not image well as the drivers are not time aligned and the mid bass is colored which is euphoric for some people. It would be very interesting to dig... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? For a large space like the one initially lined out by the OP (or be that even a smaller ditto), serving home theater duties to boot, I'd wager to keep the thing of it all the most "musical" - i.e.: with low distortion, effortless and smoothly dist... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Good topic, Erik. A difficult speaker load is created foremost by its passive crossover, more so really than (a purer load) low impedance and low sensitivity as a function of the drivers sans passive XO. Combining higher sensitivity, higher drive... | |
| Biamping Seems there’s some confusion over what bi-amping entails. Two amps, yes, but configured how? There’s passive bi-amping, and then there’s active bi-amping - the latter goes without saying, because you need more amp channels running speakers activel... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? @mulveling wrote: ... When dealing with say L/R channel imbalances, you can certainly notice down to a third of a decibel, at least. Indeed. My Xilica digital crossover/DSP has gain adjustment in 0.25dB increments, and occasionally I wish 0.10... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? Nice seeing S.P. Tech (by Bob Smith) mentioned by @audiokinesis, although back in ’05 now. I owned a pair of their Timepiece MkIII model around 2010. Two friends of mine still use the Revelation model in their respective setups, one running the Re... | |
| Question about Active Bi-amping @jay73 -- Active bi-amping, for the term to make sense at least, requires bypassing the passive cross-over and moving instead this part to function prior to amplification on signal level as a DSP or electronic XO for direct amp-driver control. As... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 wrote: Shane Lee was saying that the three ton riser they were sitting on was lifted by that beast. I think you could see the stunned look on peoples faces in the demo, like they just saw Jaws in real life. That’s some immense air shift... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 -- Cool video. It's the first time I've heard of 21" drivers being referred to as "kick subs," but it makes sense looking at that 80" beast of an über infrasonics woofer..! | |
