| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Play some Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble and they might feel more inclined to cuddle but it is the MUSIC which matters.Single woman like male drummers and male lead singers and lead guitar most.It is the skill, athleticism and charm of an entertai... | |
| Natural and Neutral could be boring .. I'm in full agreement with Onhwy61, natural and neutral should be anything but boring - adding coloration only helps if the setup is inadequate. If everything is setup right then all you need to do is crank it a little for some exhilaration. Percu... | |
| Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker Johnson,I don't know. I think JM Labs make awesome speakers with some pretty serious engineering. If there is a notch filter there then my guess is that it is there for a good reason (either driver ringing or to reduce an unwanted resonance in the... | |
| biwire trick Tvad is absolutely right about education - knowledge certainly does instill principles about the right way and wrong way to hook up electronic equipment. All I am saying is that from a "best practice" perspective it is wrong to use speakers wires ... | |
| biwire trick Wrong? Different.No just plain wrong. If one wanted to roll off the treble ever so slightly then there are better tools for that, such as tone controls, an EQ or more room treatments etc.Cables should be neutral. Using cables to tune things is suc... | |
| $6 Million Dollar Man? I think the owner has a business selling HT to the well heeled. The way everything is laid out in an ostentatious mess would be a hazard for any home and impossible to clean. The whole thing, including the ridiculous price tag (for such an ugly se... | |
| $6 Million Dollar Man? Must be super Bright with that Benchmark DAC, or have ton's of tubes to mellow out the glare.Your strongly worded remark reminded me that you have been struggling with your digital setup.You may have an issue with your room or speakers, as I under... | |
| $6 Million Dollar Man? And the 6 million dollar system uses a Benchmark DAC 1 for two channel listening | |
| Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker Johnson,You should check the waterfall response for resonances - the well known problem with very light rigid drivers, such as the w cones, is ringing. Look for resonance around 1100 Hz from the woofers and around 4 kHz from the midrange. If you d... | |
| Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker I should add that notch filters are usually necessary to cure resonances on these type designs but I expect you understood my meaning. | |

| Loudspeakers - how best to prolong their lifetime? As a past R&D Engineer in the polymer field I can tell you sun light, moisture, and heat will shorten the lifespan greatly. Exactly. This is why I recommend going with a speaker manufacturer that is not a "flash in the pan" or "new latest and... | |
| biwire trick Al,The majority of tweeters are above 6 to 8 Ohms in the 10 KHz to 20 Khz range - rising with frequency due to the inductance. So the applet formula in the link is a pretty good approximation for the 10 KHz to 20 KHz range.I think we can all agree... | |
| biwire trick Al,I think the spacing between the wires would need to be significant to be audible. If the wires were 1 meter apart (huge) then I calculate a roll off at 20 Khz of 0.25 dB into an 8 Ohm load (most tweeters) compared to the signal level at 200 Hz.... |
