| the dB/octave specification of the crossover? Or, how about going fully active? Buy a digital cross-over from the very high quality likes of Xilica (without costing a fortune), and make slopes, Q’s, delays, gains etc. on the fly, from the listening position. You’ll need extra amps for each pa... | |
| A case for running speakers full range - Tekton Double Impact SE w/ SVS SB16 subs @dtximages -- I see zero effects less dynamics, in fact i feel much more. I feel like the narrative of relieving the amp of the low freq creates more dynamics is probably just a theory created by people who have their speakers set up wrong or are ... | |
| JTR Noesis for music @smodtactical —The JTR’s are interesting for a number of reasons. They’re fairly high efficiency, use very good pro/pro-ish drivers (certainly the mids/tweeter compression driver), are partially horn-loaded, sports a large radiation area, D’Appoli... | |
| the smoothest sounding speaker Smoothness in sound to my ears has equally, if not more to do with lack of smear, low distortion and ease of reproduction. A sibling term could be that of liquidity, and combined these traits are found in particular in well-executed and horn-loade... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? @deckhand --... The issue I bought when I paid for the speakers is a loudly blaring shoutiness in the range of frequencies of the human voice. It can be loud and overpowering even with EQ attenuating the frequencies between 500 and 4khz. I called ... | |
| New JBL Studio Monitors (4349) Coming in September Interesting addition to their very well sounding 4367 and M2. Add that to the new Everest to commemorate their 75th anniversary next year.. | |

| speakers for a large room @audiokinesis --... Unfortunately most people have a negative impression of "prosound drivers" due to exposure to harsh PA systems which maximize decibels per dollar. The JBL M2 would be an example of a prosound-driver system which maximizes sound... | |
| You can't have too many bass traps... You can't have too many bass traps...[?] Unequivocally: yes, you can. Too many of them and put the wrong the places they eat away of proper soundstage fill/size and kills overall energy and (natural) liveliness of the sound. It's about strategi... | |
| Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed. It's not least, indeed predominantly due to Art Dudley's fondness of the "incalculable number of iconoclasts, heretics, mavericks, nonconformists, lone wolves, enfants terrible, and hidebound kooks" that Stereophile has seen some degree of real ... | |
| 10K system @noromance -- The OP posted this in the Pro Audio section. Maybe they are looking for pro audio gear.My thought as well, but going by the OP’s latest response it would seem pro audio, as it should correctly apply to this topic segment, isn’t the p... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @aj523 --You want intimate/enveloping/engulfing and midrange excellence bar none in a listening room as many cubic feet as your - and, naturally, "more" than your ELAC’s - I’d go active again, but bigger and with added headroom; make that the ATC ... | |

| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @dhl93449 Regarding the subject of active XOs, it is almost impossible to find one that is built without op amps. Bryston is the only company that comes to mind that produced HP and LP versions with discrete Class A circuitry, and I do not recall ... |
