| Small or large sub for music I have a “full” range speakers supported by 2 JL212 subs. The subs Integrated with the main speakers so well that now I cannot listen to the system without the subs. The quality of the subs is very critical. I would disagree and say that getting t... | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review Seriously, the Class D are amazing these days compared to even 3 years ago. This is quite possibly true, however it is hilarious that people have been saying this about Class D for the last 20 years. | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review I'm not so sure about it being possible to modify the modules themselves. I believe that they are pretty fixed. Definitely possible - Rogue does it.Rogue adds a tube input stage to sweeten the sound from the Class D output stage. This is a good ex... | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review One of the very interesting and best things about Class D is that those modules can be made modified and made proprietary by engineers. I'm not so sure about it being possible to modify the modules themselves. I believe that they are pretty fixed... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! seanheis1: Have you heard Be tweeters besides the Focals?Best,EI have not. I would like to hear the Fritz/Scanspeak 2 way Be or the Selah Audio 3 way Be. Perhaps Focal is getting their Be tweeters from Dayton. ;-) | |
| Is there actually a difference? The challenge with tests is that the testers are in an unfamiliar room, with unfamiliar gear, and unfamiliar music. It's overwhelming and in these conditions SPEAKERS can be difficult to discern. Slip a new amp into my system, in my room, and with... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! When we start getting above 10khz, we all hear differently...some not at all or very rolled off. I think that this absolutely impacts our choice of tweeter or design. Be tweeters sound harsh to me and this could be do to some hearing loss. | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant The big challenge with activating a speaker is that the electronics can fail and the speakers become very heavy, difficult to ship, and a bigger risk to buy in the used market. A passive speaker can go 20-30 years without much risk of problems. | |
| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? That's the problem. Sellers have been burned by the A-Gon shipping calculator so they sometimes want to visit the shipping store first before quoting shipping price. Just another example of an inefficiency in this marketplace. Supply and demand Ec... | |
| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? There are so many things besides price that turn off potential buyers or cause them to bid lower as a hedge. A very good seller with a very smart listing will get more money from the same listing than a seller who is putting out signals that erode... | |
| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? 2) Use Hi-Fi Shark or sold listings on ebay to determine market price and then go down from 5% to 10%,What is the logic of going down 5-10% from sold listings? | |
| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? A fair amount of sellers also won't provide a shipping cost until you commit to buy as they want to make sure that they pass on actual cost to consumer. However, this creates friction as the buyer wants to know what they are paying before they com... | |
| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? Agree that charging 3% on Paypal transaction erodes trust. When I see that I also worry that they will nickel and dime the packing material, boxing, etc. | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? You really have to base your prices off of what other folks have listed in the past. Most everyone goes to hifishark.com and does this quick research. If I want to buy a product that is listed for $1300 and I see that a mint one sold and was liste... | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) I like the voicing of Vandy's -- very natural IMO -- but they are still a box speaker in terms of radiation pattern. I believe that the Vandersteen’s are partial open baffle. |
