| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better @o_holter wrote: my experiments have been very simple. No special filtering or DSP. Mainly with desktop or small monitors. I just unplug the speaker without the amp from the speaker with the amp. This is a speaker-level connection. Then I plug t... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better @o_holter wrote: I have not tried top of the line active speakers. Only mid level and below. But my experience is this: take the ’passive’ speaker from a pair of active speakers. Instead of the output from the amp in the active speaker, give it ... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better @erik_squires wrote: I just wanted to settle a debate that has often raged in A’gon about active vs. passive speakers with my own first hand experience. I’ve recently had the chance to complete a 3-way active center channel to match my 2-way pas... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) @james633 -- Finding the right way to implement your subs will be a trial and error process. Your JTR subs have a DSP section built in already, and your JBL 4367’s are passively configured. Have you tried running your mains full-range and then ju... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) @james633 wrote: Overall, the JTRs are more detailed and textured than the JLs. They also blend better with the JBL 4367s much better than my JL E112s (also actively crossed over at 60hz). The JLs always had a bit of an over damped sound to me. ... | |
| The Horror @deep_333 wrote: Soix & butter, the private messaging feature exists for you all to settle your differences on Boingnicke (or whatever else) over there. The middle school barnyard arguments are so meh/boring on these public threads. I’m gu... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? In the context of the OP’s speakers and listening room it may not be obvious at first how much power/which amp is really needed, until the perceived experience sets in through a variety of different amps. Crank it as loud as you could possibly wan... | |
| When Was The Audio Golden Age? The Golden Age of Audio could be today - that is, if we combined in a sense past and present; what was lacking then we have now, and what we lack now they had then. The good news is that, if we really wanted to, we could attain both in our present... | |
| A speaker stand with room for an amp? @erik_squires wrote: I’m not running a broad based research project here. Some would simply refer to it as going down the rabbit hole, actively in this context and within the confinements of time, energy, capabilities and budget. Budget is typ... | |
| A speaker stand with room for an amp? @erik_squires wrote: Since this project is to convert my two way speakers from using passive crossovers to active ... Good initiative. It’ll give you a bearing for sure what’s in store sonically with active config. of your mains compared to th... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks wrote: Again, I was impressed by BACCH and am open to hearing the manner of DSP you implement. Again, don’t conflate tone adjustment (broad) with room correction (narrow). I’m not conflating anything here. Broad- and narrowband equali... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks wrote: “I take it they’re mostly digital by now for a number of reasons, though analog mixers are no doubt easier/more intuitive to use. ” maybe in mixing. In mastering (most similar to our use case) analog is still felt to be superio... | |
| When Was The Audio Golden Age? @erik_squires wrote: When were Snell A/IIIs made?? I believe they entered the market in ’84 and were replaced by the A/IIIi’s a few years later, if memory serves me correct. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks wrote: Wrong. A great analog studio EQ can and does add its own special color sauce if you will which can be all improvements, no drawbacks. "Special color sauce" pretty much tells it like it is, and whether such a flavor is a benefit... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks wrote: Oh I’m not closed minded to hearing it all. I’ve said that many times I want @mijostyn or you or someone to put me in touch with a good demo. Did a demo ever materialize at poster @mijostyn? Always exploring. The journey neve... |
