| At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home? @wweiss -- I ask again, can we at this time reproduce accurately the power of a symphony orchestra in the home? The "power" of a live full scale symphony orchestra is very much about a sum of things and as such a composite term, so much indeed t... | |
| To horn or not to horn @larryi -- My speakers are 99 db/w efficient. The midrange compression driver has considerably higher efficiency, which is why I have an L-Pad to reduce its output to match that of the woofers. I really like the sound of the 713b driver.My loca... | |
| To horn or not to horn @larryi -- The term "horn" speaker actually covers a pretty wide range of speaker types. When I think of horn speakers, I usually think of systems with compression midrange drivers attached to a horn waveguide. But, like the Viking speakers mentio... | |
| Best Digital Interface @hgeifman -- The answer is very simple. You have to listen to your system, using various cable connections and decide what sounds best to you. There is no correct answer for everyone. +1I decided on a music streamer with BOTH USB and AES/EBU ... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @perkri -- There are a couple of folks here who prescribe to the master/slave mentality. They think the ones at the top, don’t work.Hot news flash. They work, very hard. And all of the ones I have met, and know, are extremely curious individuals. ... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @ghdprentice -- You seriously have no comprehension of people that make lots of money. As a group they are smart, well educated, ambitious, and hard working and only part with there money after diligent investigation of facts and make informed de... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo What a bargain ...If ever there was a bigger (unintended) joke in home audio reproduction. That's not to say the Wilson XVX system (+ subs) mayn't sound great, but don't call it a bargain. @perkri --... this is a High End website, and as such, any... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer @douglas_schroeder -- My favorites? None, if not set up well. Several, if set up well.Over the years I am moving away from standard dynamic speaker towers. I am moving increasingly toward Open Baffle and Dipole (with or without subs). I can hardl... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component @mozartfan -- talk about resist changes, WOW,I will not continue down the xover design any longer,40 years of xovers is quite enough for this audiophile.You can have em. I suppose you refer to passive cross-overs first and foremost, and (if so) on... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component @pesky_wabbit --"For a lot of them, mute would greatly increase the accuracy."My interpretation: for a lot of the "other voices," meeting them with silence would more accurately reveal their insignificance. "If only they knew how to sort them."My ... | |

| Speakers The single most critical component @dletch2 -- You and others are presenting critical information, but it is falling on deaf ears. There is no acknowledgement of it let along a rebuttal.To that end, there is information being presented, but no communication is occurring. Communica... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Shouldn’t this thread have been re-named by now into "Full Range driver-based Speakers The single most critical component"..? ;) | |
| You pay for it and you get it... @daveyf -- Question is is it even possible to get scale with a smaller speaker in any size room, so far I have not heard this...anyone else? Me neither, in fact I don't find it worth investigating any further; large scale (not to be mixed up wit... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component @mijostyn -- The problem with the vast majority of speakers including everything Mr Mozartfan is talking about is, they sound like speakers. The very best speakers disappear. Unfortunately, the very best speaker I know of does poorly with tube amp... |
