| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi -- Bridging has nothing except more wattage over leaving the amp as stereo, you've been told now not just by me. What's most telling is that I'm speaking to a brick wall. God day, Sir. | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi --Not in the least, still fact with Class-D's today.Sorry, Not in the least, still fact with bridged today.In general Bridged AmpsPros=More watts.Cons=Worse damping factorHigher output impedance (has relevance to damping factor)Lower ... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi -- Some redundant info hereNot in the least, still fact with Class-D’s today. Class-D, you mean in bridged config. or stand-alone? My experience with Class-D is far from exhaustive, but what I’ve heard is noticeably different compared ... | |

| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi --Each and every one of us preferred the sound of the bridged configuration, with some describing the sound as now being "more hifi"This statement says it all.A really good amp should sound big, tight and wash over you with dynamics an... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi -- That’s because all you get is more wattage, everything else takes a hit, especially current drive into lower impedance’s and stability, distortions. It almost makes what was a good amp into a PA amp.Sounds to me mostly like theoreti... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. Old thread - oh well, as poster @jaystereo said.@georgehifi -- Don’t go digital to me it only led to sterility no matter what I tried. And I lost the sound of my favorite dac for whatever rubbish dac is in the digital dsp/xovers ones. Not my exper... | |
| What should you hear? @rodman99999 -- People that attend live musical events and fail to locate instrumental voices, via ear, should spend a bit more, on their seating. Of course; it helps to know something about the hall/venue, the seating arrangements, and ac... | |
| What should you hear? @larryi -- I agree that imaging on some classical orchestral recordings can be quite impressive. I like recorded music for that aspect of performance. But, arguably, it is not that realistic because you almost never get the kind of precise inst... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? @douglas_schroeder --Now, anyone who disagrees, how about you show me/us the measurements that demonstrate the purported audible change that occurs when speakers "warm up"? Surely this has been proven time and again, right? We should have hundreds... | |
| Vandersteens on active speakers and room correction Regarding Mr. Vandersteen's views on "digital filter networks" (for active configuration) compared to discretely equipped passive filters in the higher-end realm - views which, fundamentally, I don't agree with - I find below linked video a more e... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? @b_limo --Same-ish thing happened to me when I picked up my horn speakers in Brighton, UK back in 2015, and drove them all the way to Denmark in a van - in December (in Northern Europe, where it gets cold in the winter time). Arriving early on the... | |
| Rules of getting best audio ? maybe.. @romney80 --... I am sure many of you here have much more experience in this arena and have gone through your journey. Some mistakes made, lesson learnt, but still it is ongoing journey.I have set up my stereo as well as home theater, spent great ... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? @audiokinesis -- Deep: "I sure would not want to add another adc/dac into the chain with a subpar DAC on something like miniDSP for bass management (when i have a Denafrips DAC in my 2 channel setup). Guys i know have waaaay more expensive speake... | |
| To horn or not to horn @mrdecibel -- " Throw ". Some listeners do not get it, unfortunately. Most of the larger horn speakers ( google Klipsch Pro; a grand scale example : Klipsch KPT-CINEMA GRANDEUR ), would require an extremely large room, and ime, for sure, a great d... |
