| 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..! | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude wrote: Have you been following what I said I do? Speakers for professional applications? Do you think that just means studio speakers? @donavabdear mixes for movies where you are trying to "recreate" real dynamic events. And yo... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear wrote: As far as dynamic correctness, hard to answer that i don’t think there is any speaker that can reproduce thunder or a real symphony because no microphone can record it, even our ears don’t treat dynamics as opposed to transie... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kingharold — We know the answer to the part of your post prior to “DSP crossed over …” That is, they remain unresponsive here because they’d have to give us an admission, but if pressed they will likely counter thar the traits pointed out by you... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? @herbreichert wrote: I know what "coaxial" means but how are you defining "concentric"? Are you suggesting that two coaxial drivers (i.e. their voice coils) may me mounted at an angle to each other? That they are centered but not perpendicular? ... | |
| But is it HiFi? (Crown) @ditusa wrote: If you like the way it sounds that’s all that matters. +1 In my opinion. The Crown Studio Reference 1 amp is the best sounding amp Crown made for reproducing audio playback. All the power you will ever need in a home hi fi rig... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? Some of the most successful implementations of a point source I've heard (which is what coaxial comes down to, being a point source - certainly over a relatively wide frequency span, if not most of it) is the Synergy horn by Tom Danley and TAD's C... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices @roxy54 wrote: Sorry to tell you @electroslacker , but $20,000 isn’t all that much for an engagement ring anymore for a lot of people. Oh, the trinkets. To each their expenditure. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @texbychoice -- Well put. | |
| Fully active Klipschorns? The tweeter, mid and woofer are so far away from each other acoustically I often wonder what they would sound like properly time aligned. I can’t be the only one who has thought about this, can I? Absolutely not, Erik. If I remember correctly... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @invalid -- ... In theory they are better but in practice I haven’t heard a powered speaker system I have really liked, I’ve heard a few active systems where the passive crossover is bypassed that sounded good, but not one that the speaker manuf... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude wrote: There was nothing rude in a teacher correcting a student who has made an error ... A convenient pressumption to make the narrative fit to your needs. Come on.. How would you listen for transparency? What does it sound ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude wrote: Audiophiles like to use the word transparency. At moderate listening levels, the speaker will always be least transparent part perhaps with the exception of a turntable. No external amplifier that is not designed to intera... | |
| How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"? Speaker enclosures can wear out as well. Veneers can loosen, hardwoods can warp. Proper, rugged woodworking should see them last decades, however. Foam surrounds deteriorate over time, though newer types (from the last two decades or so) last some... |
