| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mcreyn --...There is something magical that happens when you have that free dynamic headroom. Most home subs suffer from dynamic compression and distortion when turned up. It starts in the 90db range below 30hz for nearly all subs, until you star... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @georgesallit325 --If anyone is interested I have just finished reviewing the Klipsch La Scala AL5s (the new ones) at: https://hifiwigwam.com/forum/topic/134937-klipsch-la-scala-al5/A UK view. Well-written, and very positive review of the La Scala... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations (by @johnk )The best horn systems are not the ones you find at audio dealers research horns consider a bit of DIY combinations of the best of vintage and modern are the best performing options. I find there’s merit to this statement. The industry ... | |
| Horns and 2in Drivers Anyone here using horns with a 2in drivers setup?10 year old revived thread - hardly relevant as is? Oh, well..If by "2in drivers" is meant the exit diameter, then yes: the B&C DCM50 midrange compression driver in my main speakers sports a 2" ... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @facten --(" once owned the smaller sibling model, the Mummy ")Can you provide some insights about the Mummy’s sound ,etc and what you drove them with?Sorry for the late reply. I drove the Mummy’s with my current gear, a Belles SA-30 class-A power... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @acresverde --OP should realize that he is definitely going to have to settle for a hybrid horn speaker in his price range. A full range horn by the very nature of its size and price is not likely doable for him. Also, some of the brands thrown ar... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @willgolf --Has anyone from around the world heard the Horn Universum 3 way that are made in Poland? There are none in North America. I've heard a previous iteration of the hORNS Universum (and once owned the smaller sibling model, the Mummy), a... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations If horns hit my spot and I had your budget I’d get some Klipsch La Scala and look into a couple of real nice subs for them. Horn subs if possible. My thoughts exactly. For a perhaps more rounded/coherent and even more effortless presentation (thro... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. @tlinkie --Will speakers last longer if they're used only occasionally? I have so many and I don't use some of them much at all. Is this a way of making them last? In my case I'm thinking more of parts like crossover caps and such. On the contrar... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. @johnk --To keep my 80 -50 year old speakers working well I play them and keep them dry and out of the sun Wouldn't you say regular (certainly weekly) use of one's speakers, apart from other named factors, is a vital part in keeping them "up to sp... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. @daveyf --For those with other types of driver design, what are your concerns about the extended usage of this kind of driver as it ages?I’m not concerned, really, but I’m invested in this subject nonetheless. My speakers are all-horn loaded using... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. The earlier mentioned Klipsch Heresy + dual JL Audio Fathom F112S sounds like a dynamite combo for a smaller room. I would venture into a different scenario with a pair of OMA Monitor’s and augment them with a pair of DIY limike’s PicoWrecker tapp... | |
| Dealers and exaggerated treble @erik_squires --I’m wondering, have you ever heard really bad treble at a dealer, but then you hear the speakers elsewhere and they seem fine? While dealer demos can be less than satisfactory in a number of sonic parameters the real problem to my ... | |
| A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true? @smodtactical --What are more current thoughts on the everest... 3 years later?The JBL Everest DD67000’s (the latest iteration I heard) to my ears are great speakers, despite perhaps being somewhat compromised by the mids horn profile (likely dict... | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? Needless to point out, perhaps, but here goes: Maybe Class A as a topology term and how it’s actually and truly implemented has become somewhat muddied. We may think to have been confronted with "Class A" sound in some iteration listening to vario... |
