| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? A lot of horn speakers have no time aligning....so the tweeter sounds hit your ear before the midrange. Klipsch have resonant horns and ordinary xover parts.....there is no diffraction control on them, as well. Also not open baffle....Open baffle ... | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers I have read no negative speculation. However, I have seen how they are made and what I said is what I recommend. All speakers will sound better if time aligned, and use better parts, more dead cabinet and have diffraction control. I have been maki... | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers Basically the Perfect Set 15 without a box for the bass. Let’s see.....no time aligning.....tweets and mids hit your ears before the woof, no diffraction control....so smeared sound (should be felt around all 7 mid/tweets). Then there will be the ... | |
| DSP Active Crossover Most systems that use the Minidsp stuff are low end systems. I don’t know any high end speaker company that uses them (anyone?)......however, the latest Minidsps are very good. If you are just making a 2 way speaker like I have described then the ... | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange My "build your own open baffle two way speaker" page now has more info and a few pics. All the designs suggested use 2 (or more) of the 12 inch Beyma drivers that Clayton uses. These speakers are very easy to make and will give incredible sound fo... | |
| Fosi Audio V3 I have one here and I will be starting to mod it this week. I am going to remove the first set of electrolytic coupling caps and the opamp and replace the second set of electrolytic coupling caps with modified Wima caps. I will then drive the ch... | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange It is true you cannot get low distortion at low frequencies with a normal tweeter.....unless you waveguide it, cross it over very steeply or use multiples like Tekton does. However, if you use a planar midrange/tweeter and you cross it over at 400... | |
| magnepan Out of business? Is the United States out of business? They don't have any warheads in stock. Why do people come on here and ask questions without doing any research? Are we that lazy. Did you call them or a dealer? I have never heard of Mag... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation FYI, the Art cables are Neotech NES 3004 mk II cables with Furutech connectors, techflex and cryoed. If you bought the pieces separate and assembled it yourself and sent it off to be cryoed....would cost you about half. If you use Mundorf super ... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan Let’s see, from listening to an online video presentation you say these new speakers go deeper, tighter and with a more seemless xover......ha ha. So, did you A/B in your own room the Caladan with the latest $9800 X4 Ultra’s? The woofers in the X4... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan You can get as much bass as you want with open baffle.....you just need more woofer area than a woofer in a box. The Caladan with its two 12s has great bass for most people. You can also do the open baffle servo subs and get 15 hz. You can use 6 1... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan When you mind and heart are not open......then you react from your ego. These are probably the woofs he is using: https://usspeaker.com/beyma%2012BR70-1.htm Here is the wire he is using: https://jupitercondenser.com/products/copy-of-strande... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan Ozzy62, How do you see it? What are your calculations of money in the speaker? Must be way different than mine. I have been in the high end audio business since the late 70s. From what I see, he is making good money selling them at that price po... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan He is making plenty of money. He would not sell it, if he were not. 4 woofs.....$700, 2 tweeters $150, 6 caps $80, 4 inductors...$50.....4 binding posts $200, wire $100, 6 footers $300. All prices above retail....wholesale 50% less so = $800 max.... | |
| Stromtank S2500 mk II tomic601, ??????? So, your friend and dealer Ed knows everything about AC power and audio? No, he cannot. No one (including me) knows diddlysquat. There is no actual objective measure in audio. And EVERYTHING you do changes the sound. We are all ... |
