| 2-way speaker with best bass If you'd like to hear for yourself how Pat McGinty managed his tradeoff in the Shearwater design, you're welcome. Drop me a line if you come to Montreal.Thanks! I'm not heading that way anytime soon but I appreciate the offer. | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass This article may be relevant(I actually posted it on a subwoofer thread too) - it is all about trade-offs and what do you call "better" - is "better" more accuracy (good transients) or is it just copious bass (wow that thing makes lots of bass at ... | |
| Two Subwoofers... Comb Effect There is a 180 degree phase shift in the bass phase anyway - which happens across resonance. So the whole thing is debatable however but purists will argue that even the 180 degree shift is bad - so it is best to get resonance way down and ultimat... | |
| Don Gruisin- .....No Borders , Native Land Zigon,Get David Grusin Homage to Duke - you will not be disappointed! | |
| Rives Audio Consulting - Advice? Yes. Absolutely. | |
| what kills soundstage depth? A dipole type radiation pattern will increase your sensation of depth due to midrange energy being reflected off the back wall. | |
| Two Subwoofers... Comb Effect Most subs have a 12 dB per octave lowpass filter, and so will give away their presence and not blend well because they allow too much lower midrange energy to pass through. That is what I have - 12 db/octave. That may explain why I prefer it up f... | |
| grills on or off on evolution acoustic speakers? Either way is fine - as far as I can tell from photos it will not matter - whatever looks nicest. | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass Pubul57,Yes I was. I must admit that when it comes to the Merlin VSM though and I did take a look today - they are exceptionally good - great example of getting everything right in a two-way - you and Tobias picked out a real winner there! About a... | |
| Vienna Acoustics sounded terrible at Magnolia Roc_Doc,All I can say is I don't like the measurements on these speakers (those that I have seen published and not just the wild impedance swings). Not to say that they cannot possibly sound awesome because many people adore them - they surely do ... | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass Tobias,Agreed. Firstly let me say this is an awesome speaker. You are talking prodigious bass in a two way. Extremely impressive. However, do you not notice the "hole" in the midrange - especially around 1 to 3 Khz? For sure this kicks butt in the... | |
| what kills soundstage depth? Jimmy,The equilateral triangle is most useful for mixing or mastering. If you want a more 'realistic' presentation then I prefer speakers facing forward (not toed in) and about 2 feet apart for 3 foot listening, 4 feet apart for 6 foot back listen... | |
| Will you check this out Bill Moyers interview with Joseph Campbell is an eye opener too. We are all connected. Joseph Campbell realized that "God" was just a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. A very clever man - he saw the common threa... | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass Eldartford - good point - reasonable SPLs in the bass means large woofers - large woofers are ill suited to producing midrange - this is why a two way system ends up as a near-field or life style type trade off. They are the most common speaker on... | |
| what kills soundstage depth? Easy - now you have posted photos - the speakers are too far apart. If you want depth then get them closer together - the way you have them is too much like headphones (think headphones put the depth flat - sounds in your head). Each ear must be a... |
