| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @audiokinesis wrote: [...] All of the above speculative explanations are unlikely, perhaps even highly unlikely, which brings me back around to "I don’t know". Sorry about that! Duke No need to be sorry - on the contrary, thanks for taking ... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @larryi wrote: Thank you for an excellent description of what is most prized about the sound of high efficiency systems, particularly, horn-based systems. Glad you found it worthwhile. While good design of such systems will ameliorate midran... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? Correction: right as rain. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @tannoy56 wrote: @larryi What would you say are the attributes of low efficient speakers? Anyone? IMHO, compared to higher efficiency speakers typically incorporating horns or waveguides at least as hybrid designs (in conjunction with a direc... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? @erik_squires wrote: First, I only answer a few points because it’s clear to me you are now using circular logic. You point left and then right, much like Kenjit. Are you kenjit? There is a nice approach to this. Pulling the "kenjit-lite" card... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? @kingharold wrote: Hey, phusis. I only use two HT Tuba folded corner horns. Considering that the enclosures are eighteen cubic feet each even that occupies a fair amount of floor real estate. Besides that my room only has two suitable corners. ... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? @tannoy56 wrote: ... if I had learn anything from the past, there is no substitute for large drivers. Indeed - there’s no replacement for displacement, as they say. Cool speaker setup of yours, btw. Wasn’t aware Tannoy made this line/type of ... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? @panzrwagn wrote: Active crossovers remove coils, capacitors and resistors from the amp-speaker interface with huge benefits in overall system performance: dynamic range, 'speed' and control of drivers. The benefit is due to lacking those energy... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @audition__audio wrote: Yes other speakers sound anemic because I think you like all of the information being added by the Harbeth. [...] Harbeth was really only an example of a relative minority of "hifi" speakers that reproduces named power ... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? @mikelavigne wrote: interesting, i actually own a "new-in-box" un-openned Xilica DSP XP-2040 i had purchased to use with my Trinnov for my 3 subwoofers (happy to sell it cheap). it turned out that my 3 Funk Audio 18.0 subs in my Home Theater hav... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? @mikelavigne wrote: no simple answer to this question. the crossover should compliment the media, and the degree of room acoustical work that has been done. dsp fixes room<->speaker integration issues. but it’s not the only way to do that... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? Apart from listening to a variety of bundled-package active speakers I’ve heard passively configured speakers that I knew very well being converted into active ditto, and it has certainly convinced me of the merits of properly implemented active c... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @audition__audio wrote: Well there is no denying that the best speaker for the individual is the one they like best. However, when you read some of what the Harbeth "guy" says most doesnt make much sense Are you referring to Alan Shaw of Harbe... | |

I take audio purchases very seriously. So do I. Have heard my fair share of speakers over the last some ... |
