| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? As long as you live in an apartment, and this is an assumption on my part, what you ask for is a pipe dream. If you can " feel" the bass, your neighbor can too.Move into a house ...+1@yukispier -- Actually I am just trying to be a courteous home o... | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? I prefer high efficiency 15" woofers with paper cones (most if not all of this segment of drivers use paper cones anyway), preferably crossed not much higher than in the 500Hz vicinity - horn-loaded if possible or in duals (per channel) as direct ... | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? @gs5556 -- Not true at all. "Paper" tends to denote taking the cheap way out but is in fact a complicated mess of fibers, polymers, resins etc., engineered for light weight (has to react quickly), high rigidity (prevents deformation) and longevit... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers @mijostyn -- Theoretically, active loudspeakers could be amazing...until you add in the profit motive. I have not heard one yet that amazed me. Profit motive? I’ve heard so much bland passively configured that it tires the mind, and the by compari... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers @audioquest4life -- I don’t know if spending time going active, researching amps and/DSPs, measuring each change is worth my time and effort when I have such really great satisfying results with my non active speakers. Granted, I have measured in... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers @andy2 --It seems pretty complicated the way you described it.With passive, there’s nothing to setup. You just hook to the amp and that’s about it. You're asking for conflicting things here:The way most would approach active, i.e.: as a bundled pr... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers @andy2 -- Active has some good advantages, but the complexity and the inflexibility make them not worth the trouble. That’s why a majority of speakers are and will still be passive. Actives as bundled packages aren't complex, on the contrary. The... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers @georgehifi -- As with analog active xover in the mids and highs, you’ll have at least a dozen more opamps pots, switches powersupplies interconnects etc etc in the signal path, and to me the that’s opposite of what you just said, there’s more di... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers @seadogs1 -- I have been looking at several active loudspeakers, Heavenly soundworks, Buchardt, and, and KEF LS50 wireless II. Any thoughts on these or are there others you think are better? Thanks!!!Bundled active speakers such as ATC come recomm... | |
| Best sub for music, @jheppe815 -- 18’s in a home? That seems illogical and nonsense. However, those cones simply don’t move at low to moderate levels. Again, goes back to what mijostyn states about low distortion levels when the cones (air pistons really) are not mov... | |
| Best sub for music, @mijostyn --I do not know where this differentiation between home theater subwoofers and HiFi subwoofers came from. There are good subwoofers and bad subwoofers. Perhaps home theater people tend to buy bad subwoofers. Good subwoofers will do anyth... | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? @mijostyn --The last thing you want to do is put a subwoofer on springs. At some low frequency it will start shaking. Vibration/shaking in any speaker equals distortion. @avanti1960 -- Speakers and subwoofers like to be solidly mounted to add st... | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” No proper horn is shouty. Cheap undersized poorly designed horns over a ported box can have issues since midrange is so much more efficient most compromised to make them smaller cheaper. A proper horn is fully front horn loaded to at least 100hz... | |
| Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers? @ashoka --... My question is which audiophile active speakers have better amplifier specifications. Active, bundled speakers are often claimed to have "matched" amp-to-driver implementation, but much of this is a gimmick, I find. With active co... | |
| Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System I'd replicate the advice/sentiment shared already and forego a center channel. If ever that route would have to be taken the only true solution would be 3 equal front speakers, period, but then you'd need a perforated screen + projector for that t... |
