| Holographic imaging IMO we are dealing with a case of the Emperor's New Clothes. IOW I'm with Tvad on this one. I second Tvad and Ralph but folks remember I am dumb engineer so I don't believe a tenth of the scientific claims in any subject in the audio domain - unl... | |
| Speakers that disappear Tvad is absolutely right - set them up on your front lawn for a couple of days - they are sure to disappear. | |
| Holographic imaging I was referring to an instantaneous shift in velocity of 1:1.005 Well you'll have to be more precise then if you want to help me understand. What you have described is just too vague for me to follow which is why I gave a specifc example with spe... | |
| Holographic imaging Lets assume that a 200 Hz bass note is modulating the 1000 Hz note. This will cause a 1khz tone to shift up to 1005 hz At this level it is a mere twinkle in the eye of harmonic distortion but is distortion nonetheless. Not the way I understand F... | |
| Holographic imaging You dont have to manually change the volume (yourself) your amplifier is changing the gain on the fly I understood that from your previous post. My question is why we do not see this in THD and IMD figures or an analyzer which looks at the dis... | |
| Holographic imaging It is the CHANGE in volume that affects the pitch Since you make no mention of frequency (group delay). I take this to mean that you suspect that the absolute signal level changes the propagation delay in the circuit. This is a non-linearity that... | |
| What is your favorite type of tweeter? Domes are extremely good. They are perhaps the best shape for a driver and give the most even dispersion. Small 1 inch domes are very cheap when used as a tweeter (hence extremely popular) and sound great. The likley reason they are not used on mo... | |
| Next up... new speakers... If you are thinking of a bigger B&W - just a reminder about my warning about on axis and off axis dispersion (which is unsurpassed in your N805 compared to all B&W's apart from the top of the line 4 way Nautilus and the old silver signatur... | |
| Article in WSJ about compressed dynamic range Any lawyers out there - possible class action lawsuit here? I have over 1000 CD's and I would estimate that at least 10% are "hard clipped" throughout - that means totally maxed out with flat square waves on peak parts in the music. In any other r... | |
| DIY cable elevators If you have a basement - drill a hole through the floor and hang the wires across your basement - no ambient noise - large air gap and you can use it to hang your handyman tools - try different tools for different effects - a saw to sharpen the so... | |
| Power amp Suggestions for Dunlavy SC-IV I read a review that used a pair of Pass Laboratories 300W Aleph 1.2's to drive Dunlavy's. I think these will be way out of your budget range even as old as they are and used. I second the Pass Labs suggestion though (as a less harsh or unforgivin... | |
| Next up... new speakers... All you have given is a price range. And that you have a large room to fill. This suggests you should look at larger three ways - however you will find it tough to find something as good as this monitor. It is one of the "gems" in B&W's line u... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? For sure there is some leakage and more so in the bass (which penetrates wood walls but less so with brick), however, bass frequencies (with long wavelengths) are the most susceptible to modal effects, which makes the problem quite acute in the ba... | |
| Holographic imaging I get the feeling that a lot of these holography systems that have appeared over the years are aimed at those who have a lack of resolution in their systems- and can stand listening to an effect, rather than the music. FWIW: It is easy to add hol... | |
| SONY TA-N9000ES I'm with Kal - why big differences? The extra power you get in BTL mode may be overkill for your small monitors - you may be already pushing the limits of what you can eek out from them. Speakers compress when driven really hard and will start to ... |
