| Which sub - JL Audio Fathom or Velodyne DD? There are only three or four subs that really work - despite all the claims - most people are listening to distortion (and satisfied with this situation as few have investigated performance data in their sub - see HT Shack website for many tests t... | |
| Best new loudspeaker i find that ultimately, panels come closer to my experience of listening to live unamplified instruments. When you continually state that all cones have fundamentally wrong timbre is where I tend to get cross-threaded. I have, however, absolutely... | |

| good listening/bad listening Do you ever listen to your system and say WOW that is great? It really sounds excellent. Yes, every time I switch it on. Weird I know but it is still amazes me even after many years. Then, other days you say, ehh why does it sound like that...I d... | |
| Best new loudspeaker if there is a speaker that is a worthy competitor of electrostatics and planar/magnetics/ribbons, with respect to reproduction of timbre, using "conventional" drivers, i would want to audition it, unless i have already heard it. Ok - but it isn't... | |
| What is a live speaker? Yes they can be used as portables or fornear-field monitoring - that is what the studios use the pro model for (such as Telarc)... | |
| Which sub is better - JL Audio or Definitive Tech? For music the JL F113 without any doubt - passive radiators are best avoided if you want good transient response. I use a no compromises sealed high end pro studio subwoofer but I have to admit that the JL F113 looks like a great bargain even to m... | |
| Best new loudspeaker it is my experience, auditioning many cone designs that cone designs do not as good a job creating natural timbre as ribbons, electrostats and planar/magnetic drivers Everything you prefer has a distinctly different radiation pattern from a cone.... | |
| What is a live speaker? I assume you want something small - then the SCM19 will do surprisingly well - even in such a large room they play much louder than most.Be aware that you are getting a damped design (sealed box) which excel at transients - you will not get heavy ... | |
| Damping factor or watts? I agree with Duke - amplifier damping is secondary to box and woofer selection...by a long way...it does not surprise me that pro drivers with underhung coils would sound tight as the woofer is always fully in control of the amp as Atmasphere desc... | |
| Paradigm Signature Servo vs JL-Audio F112 Well you are most welcome! This is one of those rare threads with good advice and one that did not present diametrically opposed views (as happens all too often). | |
| Best new loudspeaker how would you demonstrate that ? By measuring the frequency response and the distortion on axis and verifying that the impulse response is of similarly high quality. A check of the phase and impedance plot for anomalies would also help. Many spea... | |
| Room Treatments and WAF? Long Can you help me understand why it is less of a problem on a 23 ft wall? Simply because you can keep the speakers at least four feet away from the side walls which makes the BIGGEST difference in side wall reflections....with 23 feet to play with ... | |
| Room Treatments and WAF? Long He does point out and caution regarding overdamping a room, which is something I subscribe to. All too often too much "stuff" is added tot he room and can actually take away from good sound. Could not agree more. If you have wall to wall carpet a... | |
| Best new loudspeaker they do not sound like electrostatic speakers, magnepans, apogees, eminent technology speakers and other planar magnetics. MrT,Forgive me for being presumptuous but I do believe that you are confusing things. At least this is the only way I can r... |
