| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? Yeah I imagine that a lot of sound is lost due to cancellations, unless DSP is used. | |
| The latest and greatest One challenge with the LS50 is that the Elac UB5 is very similar sounding for a fraction of the price...albeit without the cool factor or build quality. The LS50s are mostly a single point source and that is an improvement over the BBC type monit... | |
| Magnepan 1.7i vs. 3.6 How about the sweet spot of the 1.7i? It’s supposed to be larger with the tweeters out. | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? I’ve never heard an open baffle subwoofer but those who have say the bass can’t be beat because it doesn’t disturb the room modes or nearby neighbors and the tone and texture is life like. | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? This is all interesting. I would be surprised if buyers of planars and stats considered open baffle, even though they all need lots of space and none of the technologies are known for being lookers. | |

| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Wolf - what was your previous preamp? | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Matching pre and power with SS and tube can be a challenge like you said, especially if the equipment was not designed to go together. Vincent Audio hybrid integrated amps are an excellent step up from the Schiit and Jolida offerings. Vincent uses... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? I have heard a recent new product from a well established company with very innovative approach to class AB amplification in my system for a 30 day trial. Incredible resolution. Super clear, dynamic, great soundstage...etc. but after some time too... | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? With few exceptions, acoustics are typically terrible at live events. Concert halls are typically poor acoustically, especially if they have been built in the last 100 years. | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? Moreover, image and ’air’ can be quite delusional/artificial properties. Just go to a good concert hall and listen to a symphonic concert. Imaging there is usually far less precise than what you hear at home from your audio gear.I would hope that ... |
