| 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... | |
| Should I decouple my subs too? @ronboco --... I just got off the phone with the REL guy and he said NOT to put footers on the subs as they perform better coupled to the floor. Depending on the stability of your hardwood floor I'd nonetheless go with his advice; couple, not d... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component @herman --... I've had the same speakers for almost 20 years with no desire to change.. everything else has changed and most many times. That's a great looking system. Is that a sub in the background? | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers | Martijn Mensink The final question is perfectly answered by Martijn, I find. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component One could ask: what is it you want to achieve and like in particular with with wideband speakers/drivers? A noteworthy trait is their alluring simplicity sans cross-over of any kind, and another is they're a single point source per channel - with ... | |
| Nothing is sturdier than a ring radiator @erik_squires -- I've seen Altec compression drivers blown by 75 watt amps and not overdriven, so not so sure that they are that much sturdier.That example says close to nothing without any further context. What specific driver are we talking abo... | |
| Nothing is sturdier than a ring radiator @erik_squires -- Just a reminder that the subject of this thread was reliability. :) As in, exposed to what - time, power, pokey fingers? In these areas regardless nothing beats a compression driver; its diaphragm in concealed inside the whole o... |
