How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers?
Perspective, this is a major determination of what is best for a certain set of criteria, budget being the most important one in most cases. I have had great experience in upgrading crossovers, designing them from scratch, using very high end man... 
Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers
The speakers will be around 26" from face to rear wall and 8" to side walls most of the time. The design is intended to be close to the rear wall, corner located, etc so might be better in this position, just able to move them around a bit more if... 
Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers
Thanks:) I have done a ton of work to be able just to have a decent space to setup a good system. I added 1.5 ft to the length of the RV which has 8 ft ceilings and 8ft wide, 5ft deep until it hits the slide outs on each side then 12.5 ft wide bu... 
Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers
My next speakers are DIY, Frugel-Horn Joan with Mark Audio MA-200 drivers in the gold color(looks more like copper) No crossovers, single 8" full range driver, combination of transmission line and rear horn loaded. Excellent reviews of the Mk3 an... 
Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments
Room treatment including where the gear is located is a cure. EQ, correction, etc, a band aid if used before proper correction, not a cure. Always treat the room the best you can to see if you can get by without correction and only use it if no ... 
Speaker set up for more than 1 person
I would not say getting center imaging in two seats is impossible because I have done it though it was a great deal of effort in sound quality car stereo system. Doing it in a listening room would be entirely different and someone might of figured... 
What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles
I have had meatloaf in a 5 star restaurant and it was dang fine indeed. I have recently been enjoying my wife's organic ground turkey meatloaf and it is right up there, that good. I was doing a beer app at one time and tried, far more than one eac... 
I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah!
I am a big fan of going fully active and have also used top notch components going with passives with great success but love the ability to fine tune with actives and overall results the best. I once owned a $7k, 25 years ago so would be much more... 
There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area
The term for the combined cone area and how far they move is called SD. Also in consideration if how long the voice coil is compared to how far they can move and being under control properly. Multiple small drivers can do what any big driver can... 
Listening Room or Components or my ears?
I have never liked the sound of Focal speakers, just to "French" which is very similar to man if not most Asian preferences as well. I would still do a good job of room treatments first and you might find they suite your taste just fine, if not th... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
My comment about country and the rest of pop means all of it, all acts but there are some good singers and musicians trapped in horrible contracts forced to produce such drivel, I feel sorry for them. Most older pop is terrible as well but some wa... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
I went to see Tommy Bolin and was blown away even in the crappy venue, they whole band was incredibly good yet nobody was paying attention to them. They were the warmup for a new band called Rush. As soon as Rush came up on stage almost everyone w... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
All pop country and the rest of pop, utter crap! So many have horrid voices then the added effects make them much worse, not better then add in the brain dead lyrics and what they call a band, or not....makes me feel sad for the ones not well form...
