| Sealed vs Ported Subwoofers Unsound summed it up nicely. | |
| In Room Frequency Response Measurements Glai, agreed some of us have gone to the trouble to actually measure RT60. Freq response and acoustic decay are the kind of things that are as important as any component in a system, however, you will find precious few here that will agree - for m... | |
| Sealed vs Ported Subwoofers Sealed generally means less resonance and group delay - so more refined bass.Ported means higher output which can be important for HT and will give you more bass for much less money(much more efficient). | |
| b&w 802 n to what speaker What do you mean by better bass and better high? You'll need to be more descriptive of what you don't like about the 802N otherwise it is kinda like shooting in the dark.What size room and placement do you have and what amp?Kal Rubinson may be abl... | |
| Negative Feedback a deal killer? SMPS have outstanding performance but they create HF noise in the AC mains. They may affect other linearly powered devices in your audio setup that are close by (like DAC's and/or your CD player and preamp) | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV Help That is about right for DC. (Remember the impedance is a function of frequency and you are only seeing the DC behaviour when using a multimeter)See this plot | |
| My humble opinion..... The Cover of the Rolling Stone is one of my favorites - audiophile quality without any special effects and doctoring (like Pink Floyd and many other over engineered stuff). Like much of Tom Petty's stuff it sounds absolutely incredible on a high q... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Oh I should add that this pic shows him receiving a PHD - yep you read correctly - a guitar god with a doctorate in Astrophysics... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Anyone recognize this multi-millionaire guitarist from the band that has more sales than the Beatles - over 300 million albums worldwide.who is this? | |
| Negative Feedback a deal killer? It all depends whether you like distortion. Appropriate use of negative feedback has been conclusively & scientifically proven to reduce distortion. Therefore, if you like distortion then you will not like negative feedback. | |
| High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older Ballan,Thanks for the TED link to Evelyn Genie. I hope to meet her one day - inspiring. I noticed they have a video with Benjamin Zander speaking about passion. Having met Benjamin several years ago I am sure that is well worth watching too. | |
| down firing or front firing sub? Downfiring gets the maximum room loading/efficiency and minimizes the audibility of higher harmonics (due to distortion). | |
| Choosing between ATC or Emerald Physics The amp was selected thinking as able to fight with any difficult load, it has 570 watts in 8 Ohms, more than enough to drive the ATC's SCM-19. That is more than enough power. Go for ATC if you like Dynaudio sound over laid back sound. The ATC wi... | |
| Is this clipping? If it sounds great at any and all volumes then there is no reason why it cannot play rock. If it is clipping on rock then it will clip on jazz too - if you play loud enough. | |
| In Room Frequency Response Measurements Smoothly rolled off treble. I listen far field. |
