| High Sensitivity Speakers @chilli42 --I’d agree with poster @mrdecibel - 17 years of age shouldn’t be a problem, but there are interesting other options to be had if you’re so inclined. My recommendation, also to address the possible coherency issues pointed out above, wou... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? Hey, @timlub --Not sure what we’re doing here, but I’ll bite. I assume that you are simply saying that it can be achieved with horns.A combined effort perhaps of incorporating a horn/waveguide and letting an extra cross-over point come into play (... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? @timlub --Somehow I got around to base my first post only on the quoted passage by you, and not the whole post (I quoted the passage early the day before yesterday to reply, but didn’t get around to actually write it until later on, and so blissfu... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? @timlub --So you say "Percieved" and that these mid and bass drivers with good extension and little cone break up are readily available.... recently I’ve shopped a few hundred drivers looking for such. Please list the model numbers. Perhaps we’re ... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? @timlub --What it comes down to is... really good mids with any type of top end extension without cone break up is hard to find in true high sensitivity speakers.Perceived really good mids and upper range extension (i.e.: "any type of top end exte... | |
| Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right... @millercarbon --There is no stereo information at the lowest frequencies. Even if there is, there isn’t. I’m not gonna get into a technical spat over timing either. None of that matters. The simple fact is human beings cannot even hear low frequen... | |
| Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right... @haywood310 --From my experience so far.if you have two subs run them in stereo next to your mains. Basically creating "TRUE" full range speakers. No matter what your mains claim to be on the brochure. If you have more than two Mono is the way to ... | |
| Why go out??? Sorry for the late reply, @millercarbon. Actually I wasn't aware of that thread, but I went over it quickly and I'm impressed to see your findings. That's a great looking setup, and those main speakers I've never heard of/seen before. Well done! | |
| Why go out??? Home theater!2-channel!SubS PLURAL!!Sorry. You got too many things right. Rendered speechless.Yeah, I was really on a roll there, wasn't I? ... Have always found a capable 2-channel set-up, one we'd normally regard a music-only ditto, to be quite ... | |
| Why go out??? ... [Edward] Norton calls on moviegoers to be vocal about ensuring movie theaters are running projection and sound at top quality because in most cases around the country they are not.“A lot of filmmakers and cinematographers that I know that ha... | |
| What creates the effortlessness in sound reproduction? @douglas_schroeder -- Peter is above board. The shameless ones are those with ulterior agendas.Even without hearing the speakers he linked to I can see that they have many of the criteria necessary to achieve effortless sound reproduction - given ... | |
| The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it? Generally I can certainly attest to the fact that I haven’t given high-res music files much of a thought these latest years, other than 2L recordings, but whether that’s attributable to the technological advancements made in jitter reduction with ... | |
| Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right... @millercarbon --When Duke says "My understanding is that true stereo below 80 Hz is actually quite rare" what he means is unicorn rare. Something people talk about but never quite manage to find. There is no stereo bass information down low. Even ... | |
| Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right... @audiokinesis --(@brotw posted: " As I understand it, an array of subs would be very effective at smoothing out the bass response of the room over a wider sweet spot. What about spatial cues from bass frequencies? ")The good news is, you can have ... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? So if one decides to go with cable risers, how long is the break-in period?Good one.. |
