| JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers. @deep_333 wrote: Ah...ok. So, Celestion is the real hero, not Klipsch. Perhaps, it should be renamed Celestion Jubilee to give credit where it’s due. You mean Celestion developed and manufactured the horn in front the driver and everything ... | |

| Fritz Carrera 7 Be and 300B power amp? Going by specs alone a (apparently fairly easy load) 87dB sensitive speaker paired with a no more than ~8W 300B-based SET wouldn’t wring out the most of such a combo. You could no doubt attain great sound in moderately sized spacings, also at fair... | |
| JL Audio Fathom @upstateaudiophile -- What's the rationale behind your interest in the Fathom subs? The 112's house woofers of the same diameter compared to the ML's, but the former is no doubt more powerful, both driver- and amp-wise. The question is what it am... | |
| Perfectly recreate a passive crossover using DSP Great initiative, Erik. As you touch upon: with an accurate DSP-replica of the passive crossover it can act as an outset or basis (saved as a preset) to experiment from, certainly to the individuals who feel confident to do so and would like to t... | |
| Does Anyone Use Pro Audio Speakers as their Main? @cd318 wrote: ... but there must be some who have bravely ventured into the realm of active studio monitors in pursuit of greater sonic accuracy as promised by the likes of Genelec, Neumann, Yamaha, JBL, Mackie, Kali Audio ect. It could be of i... | |
| Active vs passive crossover @deep_333 wrote: there needs to be no additional adc/dac conversion if one chooses his front end gear wisely, i.e., keep it digital --> high quality dac+dsp+crossovers processor all in one device. A couple of minidsp devices come close, but h... | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) My complete setup as is - e.i.: with main speakers, power amps and DAC/preamp bought used - has set me back about the same as the retail price of my DAC/preamp when new, which is to say around $12k. If all components had been acquired new the pric... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? @daveyf wrote: How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? In effect: a lot. Comparing speakers of different efficiencies isn't an apples to apples scenario. With either "camp" there are implications with regard to the nature of di... | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? @willywonka wrote: I've always loved ATC speakers but my God the price on their speakers is just over the top! Compared to what? Veneering is expensive, not least tower versions of the ATC's. What Steve didn't mention, oddly enough, is that t... | |

| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? @dbphd wrote: I couldn’t help wondering if his gushing review of the ATC speaker was atonement for his previous denigration of active speakers. Interesting suggestion. There may be an aspect to this, but with the ATC’s Steve has found somethin... | |

| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box @mijostyn wrote: You want the sub running certainly up to 80 Hz and I will go no lower than 100 Hz. The solution to this problem is running steeper filters, not lowering the crossover point. The problem here is analog filters are terrible at thi... |
