| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? steve59 wrote: ... adding power and dynamic headroom to less sensitive speakers can balance things out Depending on the particular speakers you don't just "free-meal" add dynamic headroom with more power when sensitivity sits in the low end.

| Watts! How many do we need? atmasphere wrote: If you need over 100 Watts to make your speaker really sing, you have a problem-the speaker might be criminally inefficient unless you are in a very large room. I would agree, but practically speaking it’s hardly as much low ... | |
| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? tlee Never heard either model, but would love to. Have been particularly interested in the HRE1, but the ILE3's are intriguing as well. Being you use the latter in your home setup, how would compare them sonically to other speakers you've owned? | |
| Do You Have to Play a Component to Warm it Up? Apart from properly running in components - be that electronics, cables and speakers with moving, mechanical parts - and in addition to the warm-up period of electronics after being turned off (I always leave my DAC/preamp and Xilica digital XO on... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @immatthewj wrote: I’ve owned three tube amps (I still own my first one) and the best sounding I ever owned were a pair of monoblocks that could be a bit unreliable so I replaced them, but they were the amps with the highest MSRP. I own three p... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) @james633 wrote: I will not argue against the advantages of active systems. It is just a lot of messing around. Actually it’s not that much of a hassle with the M2’s + Crown iTech5000’s and the file loading of the DSP settings. Once it’s done,... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better Brad -- Ad 1. Definitely agree, although there are different ways to approach phase implementation. Usually we have a limited number of phase bands to go by that’re set and fixed around each driver section, meaning only one chosen value per band.... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) @james633 wrote: Sadly crown amps are not the last word in fidelity and I think they hold the M2 back as I find them a little harsh. More or less Harman gives you a file to load into the crown amps with the needed PEQs and then you can adjust fr... | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio @carlsbad2 — Of course not - why would you believe that from what I just wrote above? | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio @carlsbad2 wrote: One thing i've noticed with subwoofers. there are two types of listeners: those adding subs just to make the bass natural--the way it was recorded. And then there are those who want more bass than is recorded on the track. ... | |
| 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... |
