| Energy Veritas 2.1 Excellent mids - a lovely natural sound that fills the room evenly. They image well and prefer to be kept away from walls or they can sound overly boomy. | |
| auralex bass traps Second Kal, Mineral fiber traps are better by about 60%. So if you go LENRD's then you will simply need to a few more thats all.Specifically, One linear foot of GIK Tritrap is very roughly equivalent to 1.6 linear feet of Auralex LENRD in absorpti... | |
| Energy Veritas 2.1 Yes they are good. They punch way above their weight. Way above. | |

| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states A bit off topic here, but, if a speaker manufacturer needs to veer from the criterion you use to describe a "decent speaker design" and needs use something other than a higher impedance amp to achieve better results, what's the harm? You mean lik... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states However I find that if I am dealing with an individual who is educated with Voltage rules, that they will generally assume that there are no **other** rules. So I am interested in you thoughts regarding Duke's post. On the power rules front I thi... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states The problem with increasing the amplifier source impedance for this type of driver (especially in a domestic application) is that while this raises the Q and the bass output, it leaves the resonant frequency unaffected . . . the result is then si... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states [/quote] In other words, most prosound woofers are overdamped for home audio usage when used with solid state amps. [/quote]Good point - prosound woofers are often in a vice-like grip of the amplifier and excursions are tightly controlled and the ... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states These are extremely expensive as well with a quality 12 inch woofer costing around $1000 and weighing about 25 lbs or more. I would add that outside of pro applications these kind of woofers are few and far between - buyers will pay for veneer or... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Another way to think of damping is that a high damping amp "shorts" the speaker woofer voice coil when the signal is "zero" - this means that the voice coil current is maximized (sees least resistance) in response to the movement of the coil throu... | |
| is a center channel really necessary?? You absolutely need a processor that can properly mix down the L F R into just L and R. Otherwise speech will be almost unintelligible. | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states THaks Shadorne, that explasins what Bobby was talking about, with which he then says, which is why it works so well with tube amps Indeed, a critically damped acoustic suspension speaker does not need an amplifier with high damping factor as much... | |
| is a center channel really necessary?? You need a good DSP with phantom and you can get away with 4.1.You really can't get away with anything less. | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states 04-10-10: UnsoundShadorne, well done.The link Atamasphere provided is really worth a look.Thanks - yes it was very interesting and useful. Please bear in mind that all the experimental results were for "infinite baffles" (no box). The acoustic su... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states For instance, my Merlins are said to have critically damped (whatever that means)Critically damped means a Q of 0.707. It is a function of the driver Qes (electrical Q) and Qms (Mechanical Q) and the acoustic damping from the box (air pressure).A... |
