| 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.

| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @ghdprentice wrote: This had definitely never happened to me. I research the daylights out of stuff… and speakers typically audition many. I take audio purchases very seriously. So do I. Have heard my fair share of speakers over the last some ... | |
| What say you binding posts or direct wire? I use the binding posts on my 3 amps (Neutrik connectors on the bass bin amp), as well as the EV bass bin (simple screw terminals with star screws - industrial style) and subs (Neutrik connectors). The EV compression driver sits exposed in free ai... | |
| 50 vintage speakers that give odds to modern acoustic systems Many great speakers here, most surely also compared to the speakers of current times - not least the Vitavox’s (IMHO). Thanks for posting. | |

| Something on top of a speaker=okay? @ibmjunkman wrote: And my posting asking if the air pressure in the listening room makes a difference got deleted? Good one. That’s actually an interesting topic, so try and re-post it. | |

| Paper cone drivers/natural materials If precision in time keeping is the foremost goal one might as well buy a cheap quartz watch. Mechanical watches are imprecise by nature, so buying them for thousands of $$ is about something else. Re: cone material in woofer/mids and its sonic i... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? While I didn't own the following speakers mentioned, they had a lasting impact on me: Yamaha FX-3. Heard them at a local dealer in 1980 with my brother and father playing the then recently released Pink Floyd double LP 'The Wall' - "Another Brick... | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? @jhills -- Last word in efficient or not, I prefer the big open and natural sound of electrostatics and planers over boxes, hands down, but that’s just my personal preference. Absolutely fair. Being natural representatives of the (very) high ... | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? @jhills -- Making this about low efficiency speakers/higher power SS amp vs. high eff. speakers/low power tube amps is not the strictly defined combo context here, but rather low vs. high eff. speakers - certainly per the OP. It makes sense using... |
