| The sound of speakers is distortion. Good points, josh358 | |
| The sound of speakers is distortion. I appreciate your position, roberjerman. But speaking from long experience and from many conversations with other designers, there are no simple measurements that represent how a speaker sounds. Much of this problem is from the microphone not hea... | |
| What is the working principle of the Loudspeaker? The OP's title question is answered by millercarbon and mijostyn, and blindjim is not wrong either. I would add:Different speaker designs exist because their designers saw different goals, and had different budgets and timelines, educations and he... | |
| A New? Way to Buy Loudspeakers?? Twoleftears above has it right:"listen[ing] to a digitally synthesized simulacrum of various speakers they sold."Yes. These are NOT recordings of speakers in rooms.What they have done is to take a real speaker through a measurement session ala Ste... | |
| A New? Way to Buy Loudspeakers?? Reading between their lines, the comparison is performed inside a computer of how each speaker is supposed to sound based upon their measurements. This means you are never hearing a recording of a real speaker. In studios, software can simulate di... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Shadome, thanks for your replies. Let me clarify some speaker-design information you may have been given in error. About the sound of MQA- I have spent little time with it.The idea of linear phase in speakers is tricky to understand without going ... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Thank you Steve, for your kind support and to the others as well! To be clear: Your Chroma II’s were upgraded to Chroma HX-- the differences described on our website. And now your HX circuits and wires, and solder, and binding posts have received ... | |
| A/D/S Fans: help me find a center channel Agreed on the ADS L570, or even the older L520 and L420 (smaller). I used to retail them. You'd have to lay them on their side, which would hurt the center-sound only for someone sitting far off axis, at the side of the room.I hear many people lik... | |

| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Dahlquist DQ-10s were not time coherent. The schematics of its crossover circuit.show high-order filters. | |
| High order crossovers My thanks, too, @ trelja. | |
| High order crossovers Good answers, Duke. Thanks for stepping into the batter’s box! I would add there are many crossover parts, mostly capacitors, that cannot pass small signals and/or very large ones. When a crossover can be made simple, this can be easy to hear unle... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? It helps to hear, literally, what is going on, by listening to the cabinet’s walls through a stethoscope, playing music and test tones. You find two things:Flexing of the cabinet walls allows low bass to come through. Out in your room, this adds i... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Thank you joc3021-- good points above with which I agree!Your first one was about someone being in the mood, etc.The second was walking into the confirming-biases trap.To get out of that trap, the following has helped me:Whenever a change is made ... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? It is certainly wonderful to feel happy and satisfied from a listening session. It’s understandable to expect higher levels, greater versions of those events.Now, we experience ’things’ whenever we can name them.Perhaps here we seek the experience... |
