| Audiophile system for Techno and Dance music @rixthetrick -- Massive SPL, huge volume cannot possibly compete against a highly resolving sytem, even for Techno or any other EDM music.I am not saying my 400 watts per channel doesn’t perform, and cannot play loud. However I will state that low... | |
| Audiophile system for Techno and Dance music @cal3713 -- Can you post a link to your tapped bass horn designs? They look great... Thanks. The plans are shared in this post:https://www.avsforum.com/threads/my-lilmike-microwrecker-lilmikes-plans-in-thread.1514504/post-24285...Build thread h... | |
| Audiophile system for Techno and Dance music Good quality prosound drivers often have 10-20 dB more clean headroom than what’s normal for high-end home audio drivers, which translates to a very relaxed sound even at fairly intense home audio sound pressure levels. Prosound woofers and midwoo... | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? @steve59 -- All things being equal there’s no replacement for displacement...But use the sportbike analogy and the experienced will say smaller and lighter is better on a tight track. The problem with analogies is finding the ones that apply prope... | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? @cd318 -- I rather suspected that my front ported Tannoy Berkeley’s didn’t go down that far despite their 15 inch drivers.According to one site their frequency response is 35Hz - 20kHz. I strongly suspect that it barely scrapes 35Hz let alone bein... | |
| Klipsch La Scala 2018 or the Triangle Cello? Indeed, fairly different speakers, the La Scala II’s (AL5) and the Triangle Magellan Cello’s. In essence it’s a direct radiating design vs. a fully horn loaded ditto, and while the Cello’s sport a moderate, rated sensitivity of ~91dB’s and a horn-... | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? @cd318 -- Horn loading like your Klipsch Cornwall’s will result in a different bass sound than ported designs which will sound different to sealed boxes. The Cornwall’s 15" bass driver is ported. The sibling La Scala’s on the other hand are using ... | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? @emergingsoul --[...]Not sure why driver sizes tend to be smaller these days unless you pay a lot more.Indeed, a lot more; size is progressively expensive in hi-fi, not to mention high-end, and for physics to be more closely approximated - taking ... | |
| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity @mehtayoungs --Great thread initiation. [...] active has nothing to do with whether the amp is installed in the speaker or not. It refers to whether the crossover is before or after the power stage. Having an active crossover at line level and the... | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? @northman --I know that may be a ridiculous question; of course one can sit down with Radio Shack speakers and engage in serious listening, and of course the experience is subjective for all of us. I’m actually asking for subjective responses here... | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it @steve59 --(Re-)read the OP? | |
| Why so obsessed with bass? @desktopguy --+1@mijostyn --... You want to be listening to the driver and nothing else. Unfortunately, enclosures are musical instruments. They make noise when excited by the driver. They also move. These two problems muddy the sound. Building a ... | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it Folks, something about the ’what’ rather than the ’who’?@mapman -- I will put the whole thread in the trash can and burn it.👍Feel free to ignore it instead. | |
| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? I believe it was in 1979 when I visited a local hifi-shop with my brother and Dad, and they played the newly released Pink Floyd album 'The Wall' with "Another Brick In The Wall" (Part 2) on what was probably a pair of Yamaha FX-3 speakers (w/15" ... | |
