| Subwoofer damping I just read Dukes comments and I still don't get it ... a variovent is supposed to allow for a smaller box than the woofer would normally require....but the box itself is already so huge.Maybe this design is close to an infinte baffle subwoofer wi... | |
| Recommend me a bright musical Bookshelf speaker. When piano sounds like a piano and strings sound like actual strings and not like a fishing line strung over a plastic bucket. I know exactly what you mean in your description....this hyped sound is what most people actually want and it is hardly... | |
| Subwoofer damping The box must be a folded horn or bass bin....it is too big for acoustic suspension. The problem with folded horns is the out of band noise from cabinet vibration (two parallel sides along the horn) and issues at sharp angles as you turn corners. Y... | |
| I need some speaker help I'm willing to spend the money for the right set of speakers that will hold up to Joe Bonamassa crankin'.You need clean amplification and spreakers with pro drivers (not consumer speakers with northern european mass produced drivers). Horns with ... | |
| Subwoofer damping It sure sounds like you were overdriving it from the way you describe the sound. | |
| Power conditioner or not? Musicnoise,The scary fact is that some audio equipment does indeed benefit. I blame it on "switched mode power supplies" in many common household items from battery chargers to computers - these can be noisy. In the past everything used to be powe... | |

| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Eric Pritchard has studied this. He has some opinions on the way they sound. It may not be the ground truth but he has tried to emulate the tubes sound in overload with SS. He builds guitar and microphone amps.In the music industry the main issue ... | |
| small powered monitor; Yamaha vs Fostex You should consider these. It sounds much better than most full blown hi-fi's... | |
| does temperature affect speaker performance? Dynamic driver speakers run pretty hot after just a few seconds play - so I doubt if external weather would make much of a difference. | |
| B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's? check out the ne reference speakers for abbey road studios LOL | |
| How many watts is my system using? Mystang,Yes your calculation is correct... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic A waveguide is generally shallow and has a wide throat with no compression chamber. A horn loaded driver uses a compression driver mounted behind a deeper horn.A waveguide can control dispersion and allow for a much better match between drivers - ... | |
| Can tubes ever be as quiet Solid State you are completely incorrect to state that tubed pres cannot match solid-state for quietness. Paul,Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that designers simply cannot work around these issues.Let me rephrase: I guess anyone who has any experience in tubes... |
