| Over the top Nice choice of gear. You'll be in heaven. Just a word of caution - be careful not to overdrive those awesome speakers. The port is tuned at around 55 HZ - so be careful with any seriously bass heavy stuff (although the woofer excursion may be well... | |
| Anyone have trouble with Dvorak Stabat on Telarc? I haven't received the disc yet but I'll check these even though it seems you have found the problem. | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Perhaps the look matters most. A great paint job or veneer, tall and narrow with sloped baffle and loaded with several mass produced shiny metal drivers and impressive copper phase plugs to boot....all sure to impress. What people see is what they... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Jeff, can you give some examples of speakers/speaker companies that are "active" speakers?Examples of companies making active speakers are nearly too many to list here are a few (not exhaustive)MeridianATCPMCB&OKRKAdamK&HNHTMackie JBLTanno... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Wireless200,The key with active speakers is moving the crossover to the line level side of the signal path rather than the high power level. This reduces distortion (capacitors have a sound and especially caps driven with high power signals can ad... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? In my meager experience I would agree with Duke and others about the crossovers. That is truly where the art meets the engineering and can make or break a speaker system. Great point - it is certainly the weakness of many designs - this is where... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Lesson 2: A flat frequency response is no indicator of how good a speaker sounds. True in that it will not sort out the wheat from the chaff but flat frequency response is a fundamental minimum requirement for accurate reproduction. | |
| What matters most in speaker design? I was thinking about speakers that use relativly cheap drivers, but are executed in a genius enclosure with a good (but not exotic) crossover - and they sound absolutely amazing. Unless the manufacturer starts with high quality drivers then they ... | |
| High power handling speakers JBL 4435 will play very loud. They are a classic and in good condition they will be about $3K. | |
| Why buy cheap speakers?? Steven,Of course you are absolutely right given the extreme examples you listed ($300 cables $300 speakers) but some have more money than sense and honestly have the right to spend their money however they like. I can't say for sure what is the be... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years Lush has a great point - room DSP for bass modes is indeed a substantial advance - if not the most substantial. | |
| Anyone have trouble with Dvorak Stabat on Telarc? I really need to hear from people who have actually heard this cd (Telarc 2CD-80506-- Dvorak: Stabat Mater). I have ordered this exact CD. If you can wait one week I'll let you know if I get the same issues. | |
| Airtunes dropouts with Mac mini to Airport Express I find that a microwave will sometimes interrupt WI-FI. | |
| Crackling coming from Right Speaker - Help It could be any of the above. I'd check your interconnects and make sure you are properly grounded. You can even open things up and look for a loose contact. If that does not help then eliminate items by substituting things.For example wire your p... | |
| Anyone have trouble with Dvorak Stabat on Telarc? Do you have a track and a time where it distorts ? It is very time consuming to spend an hour listening to a CD trying to guess where the distorted part is.104 db SPL at the listening position is actually quite high for the majority of speakers to... |
