| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf "To put the question succinctly: How can you hope to persuade me of any particular claim to audiophilic excellence without appealing to some "objective" criteria that, because they claim to be "objective," are more than just a subjective ... | |
| Large speaker recommendation @ronyumd -- "Elipsa sounds great with classical music but not so great with pop/percussion type of music in my system/room. I do listen to classical music most of the time though, but hope to get a pair of speakers that are good in both worlds." ... | |
| Physics Question: Why does cabinet volume matter so much to bass response? @djones51 -- "... I’ve heard very good bass, at least in my subjective opinion, from active monitors. My room isn’t huge either which helps." The same have I, actively configured monitors not least, not that they’re bending any laws of physics h... | |
| Physics Question: Why does cabinet volume matter so much to bass response? @djones51 -- "Newer designs like the Devialet Phantoms manipulate Hoffman’s Iron Law using DSP and crazy amounts of power to get bass in small enclosures." Hofmann's Iron Law still applies, as the crazy amount of power is necessitated due to ... | |
| SVS SB16 Ultra Sub good for Hifi? @tommypenngotti -- Hello guys - curious if anyone is using the SVS SB16 Ultra dual subs for hifi or is this more of a home theater kinda speaker? I'm looking for tight punchy bass in the "80-120 area....not boomy house shaking bottom... Been ... | |
| Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm? @johnk -- "The Jubilee uses DSP since the Celestion Axi2050 doesn't have much upper range unless EQed and processed. I use the same driver as Jubilee in a better non-CD horn design and with a proper tweeter set up so I need no DSP and can just le... | |
| Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm? @mglik -- "... I guess the Khorns now have a different and better tweeter." The newest AK6 version I heard a few months back sported a somewhat problematic upper end, as I wrote earlier. A quality tube amp pairing might be preferable, as some he... | |
| Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm? @johnk -- Great looking horn setup there. 4-way with bass horns in the background? | |
| Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm? I’ve heard the Khorn AK6’s. Overall I find they’re sonically rewarding and engaging speakers that only all-horns can really sound like. They’re quite a few horn hybrid speakers out there with midrange and tweeter horns/waveguides in conjunction wi... | |
| Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers @charles1dad -- "In general I accept the premise that better quality parts will lead to improved sound quality. However the overall speaker design and manufacturing aspects have to be considered. Speaker#1 has an "A" list of renown parts. Speake... | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers OMA speakers have been mentioned. An appealing and essential aspect about their looks, from my point of view, is that it follows function first (as something that more readily accommodates physics), and then the aesthetic "touch" has been added to... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? @ieales -- "If high efficiency speakers are so darned good, why did the industry move away from them? So electronics makers could sell more expensive Power? Methinks not." Actually more power got less expensive with the advent of the transistor,... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? @pcrhkr — “Thermal distortion from my speakers. My ears would blow first! :)” One of those instances where it may feel inappropriate stating that this is actually a desirable outset :) Question is if you would know whether thermal distortion/mod... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? @johnk -- Thanks for clarifying. Had no intention to put down Alnico magnets in any way, in fact I'd only cherish their inclusion in a speaker setup. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? @ditusa -- "Yes That is one of the many reason for using ALNICO in permanent magnet speakers, it’s impervious to heat so it’s flux is not affected by the change in temperature." Alnico magnet’s were/are sometimes prone to demagnetize: ... ther... |
