| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please @mijostyn -- Well put. @lonemountain -- Ad 1). Don't see how that applies here. If subs are successfully implemented I'd only want them to reflect the variation in source material. It's about what becomes your "axis mundi" for setting the refe... | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please @music_is_life -- SUbs are easy to set up. That's just rallying for your position. To some it may be, out of luck or other, but it's certainly not a default outcome. In any case: however high the bar is set may be the achievement one sees fit. | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please @wolf_garcia -- A lot of silliness get passed around with topics like this one, and all bloviating aside, subs aren't that difficult to set up, more than one helps tame standing waves but one sounds much better than none, and don't be afraid to ... | |
| Who actually uses digital speakers? There’s the power-DAC with the digital input going all the way to the analogue conversion at the amp’s output stage, but other than that an active speaker with digital input just refers to the use of a DSP unit which can then receive a digital or ... | |
| What defines mid-fi versus high-end? What defines mid-fi versus high-end? It's somebody's idea of a distinction that essentially comes down to a difference in price. | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please @mijostyn -- +1 Many a sub(s) implementation appear strikingly meager, malnourished and of secondary consideration in its overall implementation. I'm guessing it's that mentality again; why have a couple or further multitude of (sub-)bass behemo... | |
| 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... |
