| Short list of musical subwoofers @lanx0003 -- "It is interesting that you disapprove the high level connection. May I know your reason why." Can’t speak for poster @mijostyn, but maybe it’s at least partially due to the simple fact that using the high level output from the main... | |
| Dust on speaker cones. Went to a local paint shop and asked for the softest 1" wide paint brush they had. Works fine. A smaller marten hair brush might be the best choice for dome tweeters. | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @mijostyn -- "... sorry lad, it would appear your experience is lacking. I have heard and built Horn subwoofers. Mahlmans’s sense of vibration is not good. I hope he is not diabetic. The other answer would be that his horns do not go very low whi... | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? Duke put it excellently into words: ”… It is a function of transient dynamics and raw SPL. If there's not much dynamic contrast, it doesn't come across as "slam". If there's good dynamic contrast but the sound pressure level is still soft, it doe... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @mijostyn -- "... put on anything with a little low bass in it and turn it up to your usual listening level. Put your hand on the bass horn say just inside the mouth. Feel that vibration? Any vibration you feel is audible distortion. Getting any ... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @mijostyn -- "... I did not say there were not other ways. They are generally a lot more expensive, not any better sounding and have limited functionality vs a full fledged computer. My system doubles as a theater. I can also stream videos and mo... | |
| Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands From my own experience REL is in the right here. | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @mahlman -- "If pure sound quality was the metric they use I can only think they have not heard such a system. I suspect however that there is a lot of snobery involved and it is just "not possible" that serious hobbiests can build better than th... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It Interesting (and to me rather familiar) rundown on your audio setup, mahlman. All-horn, -active, DIY, inclusion of pro audio products, letting size have its say, PC-based source - hear you loud and clear. One senses the vitriol from some of the co... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? @atmasphere -- "If you're crossing higher than about 80-100 Hz, won't you have to place the subs very near the rest of the speaker system?" Yes indeed, no way around that. You can see it in my system's picture where the two tapped horns are flan... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? @atmasphere -- "Its just physics, physiology and its not my theory- its that of Dr. Earl Geddes IIRC." I'm aware of that. By "your theory" I simply implied that you presented it. "I'm not certain of what you are trying to say in parenthesis." ... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? @atmasphere -- "You can look at this as theory or fact; works the same regardless ..." That's dangerously arrogant. You're not acknowledging the alternative, which is conspicuous in itself, and I doubt you've had a pair of symmetrically-to-the-m... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? @atmasphere -- It sounds to me as if you are not familiar with the Swarm sub made by Audiokinesis. ... Oh, I am, I simply made an attempt into outlining the possibilities of the horn sub route, and that it needn’t break the bank. A DBA setup ... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? @atmasphere -- The Classic Audio Loudspeakers Hartsfield is a speaker that has the efficiency to work with SET power since its about 105dB/1 watt. That would be a great option indeed. What's the price of these? But you might consider an a... |
