| Crossovers High order is needed when drivers are used to the extremes of their operating range. Often high order notch filters are used with modern light weight metal or ceramic drivers - this is an attempt to reduce the out of band "ringing" - it often work... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" Jafox,I agree with you 100% about about the dangers of using an EQ or tone control to compensate for inadequacies in the equipment. However, the same could said for swapping cables or amps to try and fix a harsh sounding speaker. Or selecting a sp... | |
| Anyone using the Dynaudio BM6 ? I second the Genelec's - the 8050A is absolutely awesome. As CDC says it is a "pipe and slippers" sound in the sense that they are rather honest or completely neutral - but take your time and listen carefully and you realize the quality is actuall... | |
| Should 'a' been a contender Tannoy's famous SGM10 with Mastering Lab cabinets - Doug Sax bought up the entire lot of the last production drivers. I think the high cost of Alnico is what made Tannoy stop production of this wonderful driver.LinkThese never really made it out o... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" Rather than using equipment as "tone controls" it is far more efficient to actually get a preamp with tone controls or an outboard parametric EQ. Thanks - sometimes the obvious really does need to be stated. People who buy and trade equipment in ... | |
| B&W speakers and SF lower end I agree with Ryder - good advice. | |
| Small AV room setups now better than big rooms??? Well if you mean that it is relatively easy and cheap to make great sound at low volume levels then I agree absolutely...but small rooms don't sound right to my ears. | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD I hear slight differences, however, compared to the distortion and different presentation from speakers these differences are extremely small. I find speakers vary from absolutely terrible to almost "you are there". I find nowhere near this kind o... | |
| possible upgrade to biwire speakers If you biamp then you can make a modest improvement but I don't think this warrents being your main consideration in up-grading your speakers. | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? I did go to see Indiana Jones this weekend and it was a very clean horn system without harsh digital artifacts either. It was louder than I ever play my system these days and I walked out with no pain. I want those speakers I think. But those are ... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 I am heading out for another audition later this afternoon. I have tried to bring a lot of different material with me Sounds like a plan. Try walking around the room too - see which has the smoothest most even response (which would be my preferen... | |
| Mbl Magic? I believe they use a bandpass configuration for the bass unit. Bose does this...the famous "acoustimass" bandpass design which they pretend to have invented and patented! Amazing amounts of bass from a very very small enclosure but often and part... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Dynaudio BM6 Great monitors, however, since you are using a sub then I'd open up your investigation other designs without such a deep extension. (deep bass extension from minature ported speakers is generally a trade off in quality)Also have you considered act... | |
| Heres my plan, input please. REL 10" 200W B3. Check the HT Shack Subwoofer tests BEFORE you open this box.IMD Distortion Tests ExampleThere are pages and pages of detail - I just included one example page. It is a real eyeopener. Performance is quite variable. | |
| Something missing? Duke,I suspect there is something else going on here - possibly subconsciously all men are drawn to this wonderful JBL 4430 speaker. I can't think why - from the look of it - it seems just an ugly pro studio monitor.Can anyone help me understand t... |
