| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. @ricevs I'm sure that would be amazing if you were able to get the filters right in the mini DSP. Regarding Lii Audio I still wouldn't connect amp directly to driver without passive filter or DSP for baffle step correction...there is no getting ... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. John Atkinson knows how to measure a dipole...but I agree an average Joe would struggle to get the best possible measurement just like they would struggle to get the room and placement just right for that tiny sweet spot...reviewer gatekeeping is ... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. When Stereophile reviewed the original version it was kind of a disaster...John Atkinson is normally pretty nice about poor measuring speakers but this one just looked broken. A lot of time has passed and my question for Eminent would be how they ... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. Here is a SUPER SIMPLE serious speaker. Buy a pair of the Lii Audio Platinum 10 inch full range drivers ($2200) and mount them on a four foot by 2 foot piece of multiply damped baffle and have four foot by 2 foot wings on the sides going back. No... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers The main difficulty with setting up diffuse panels are you do not want them too close to your listening position. Six feet away is the minimum and at least eight feet away is the preferred. @axo0oxa 6-8 feet away for diffusion? To diffuse lowe... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers Also, about 6 years ago, when drawing the original plans for the house of stereo, GIK told me that the front wall should be addressed last if at all. Just saying. @baylinor GIK told me the same thing as it's the furthest reflection point for an... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers Thanks for sharing I think it's sound advice. I have never heard of a bass trap making a space feel larger...for me traps make my room feel smaller and more intimate. I have also never heard of putting diffusion directly behind a speaker. My tho... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers I would be embarrassed to show a picture as my room is such a cluttered mess (free diffusion, right?). Here are some good diagrams. https://www.audioholics.com/room-acoustics/room-acoustics-acoustic-treatments/room-acoustics-acoustic-treatments-... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers @seanheis1 @axo0oxa I’m seeing several people here advocating for diffusion over absorption. Are there any general rules as to when/where it’s better to use diffusion or absorption? I’m very interested and not clear on this at all. My guess is... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers It is recommended that the wall behind the speakers be reflective in nature, so that the sound develops properly. The wall behind the speakers is a distant reflection for most frequencies with box speakers...especially if you have a long room.... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers Talk to GIK. They’ll give you some good advice given your room and offer products that are relatively reasonably priced. IME GIK has great products that I purchase....but their advice has been the same as other pro-audio panel makers...and th... | |
| Used PS Audio Items The Music Room sells their trade in products is probably why. I purchased the PS Audio TRIO P200 preamp from TMR and couldn't be happier. PS Audio has a lot of brand loyalists and a good trade in program so there is definitely movement with that ... | |
| Should I steer clear of class D amps Class D amps need a tube preamp or a solid state Class A input stage that adds 2nd order harmonic distortion to the signal. Linear power supplies can also add 2nd order harmonic distortion. If you get a stock module from Hypex or Ice Power with ... | |
| Salk Future TBD Even considering the fact that Salk was a small boutique brand, I am very surprised that he considered the total worth of the company to be 300k, and then lowered it to 100k, including equipment, designs and brand equity. they do after all have a... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. How is the sweet spot compared to Magnepan? With Magnepan it's too small for me with the tonal balance shifts. |
