| Good question, lots of answers. You should study the in-room frequency response charts of various Legacy models. While nobody can deny that some folks like them, there's plenty of evidence to support the fact that they are anything BUT "accurate" or "transparent". If you were ab... | |
| how much current is enough? With 82 dB speakers, and these same speakers are of relatively low impedance, you better buy a "Mack Truck" of an amplifier. That is, IF you want to play loudly with good dynamics while maintaining proper control over the drivers. If you want to k... | |
| "Line source" vs. "point source" speakers. David, you need to clarify if you are looking for input stricly about "front firing line arrays" ( like the Dali primarily is ) or "full range dipolar line sources" as they are VERY different beasts. After all, the Dali is "front firing" for the l... | |
| Tuff decision, need help To me, PSB's have always sounded a little thick in the warmth region and lacking in definition. If you wanted something that had better attack, definition and focus, i could easily see someone moving from PSB's to the B&W sound. Sean>PS... ... | |
| What happened to Discwasher? That formula would be here at this clickable link for Discwasher formula. One of these days, you folks will figure out how to post a link. I know that i appreciate this when reading about a subject. At the same time, making it simpler for someone ... | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? Bwhite: Thanks for your response. Sorry i didn't see it sooner : ) Sean> | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? Ears: You mentioned the Denon 2900 uses a different chip than the 5900. If you have compared them, which do you consider to have a better video presentation? If you haven't compared them but have read various comparisons of them, can you sum up th... | |
| It's 2050. I'm 84 years old... Axl Rose. All the up's, down's and controversy of a rock star and the "rock star syndrome" that goes with the job. : ) Sean> | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas The information that Mr Kidknow posted is consistent with the information that a NASA employed chemist once told me. That is, i was told that every increase in temperature by 20* effectively doubled the cleaning power of a solution. Given the vari... | |
| Input requested Mprime: i did not take your response as being "hostile" or "challenging" and i hope that you didn't perceive mine in that fashion either. I was simply trying to ask questions to get you thinking about the big picture and provide a point of referen... | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? Bwhite: Are you familiar with the Denon 2900 at all? If so, how would you compare the sonics between it and the 3910 on redbook? Sean> | |
| Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line Tobias: Not all low frequency designs try to eliminate the back wave. There are a few dipolar woofer designs that have achieved critical acclaim for their speed and high levels of in-room linearity. If you doubt this, ask Duke at Audiokinesis for ... | |
| resonance and sealed enclosures Push / Pull lowers distortion, increases power handling, faster transient response, lower impedance peak at resonance, improved power transfer characteristics, etc... If properly implimented, it can be quite beneficial. I'm using a dipolar push-pu... | |
| Input requested Joe: Most SS amplifier designs aren't as wide-bandwidth as most of the Threshold / Forte' designs. On top of that, these designs are also different than many other designs in terms of negative feedback and how it is applied. As such, not all SS am... | |
| Subs for horn systems Mike aka "Magnetaraus" on Agon and "Magnetar" at AA has built some very large and highly efficient folded horn subs. These are based on JBL drivers and should play very loud and go quite deep. Mike's a great guy and always willing to discuss audio... |
