| Review for Dynaudio BM5A powered pro speakers You had a big adjustment to make judging from your initial disappointment in the first 20 hours. Do you think the change from harmonicly rich tube sound to SS has much to do with it or is to all speaker related? My experience is that SS gear sound... | |
| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? At least, you put your money where your mouth is with ATC speakers...butt ugly You are right about that....a massive imposing ugly box. "butt ugly" just about sums it up! I managed to hide mine in some heavy duty cabinetry with 2 inch+ braced wal... | |
| why do my polk sda 1 monitors subdue male vocals? Four mid range drivers. The lower mid is confused by comb filtering. Male vocals are around 300 Hz. But vocals consist of lots of partial harmonics at 600, 900 and 1200 Hz etc. At 600 Hz you have a wavelength of roughly two feet. At 1200 Hz you ha... | |
| Rear Speaker Advice needed I second Jameswei ....you should stick with the same manufacturer - your best match is actually the Studio 110...as it has matching drive units! 1SC's would probably be the next best choice but poor in comparison due to their reduced dynamics rela... | |
| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? Shadorne - do you have any personal suggestions to listen to? At your price point I would tend to go for better quality sound rather than huge bass extension to 27 Hz or below. My preference would be a sealed box design that rolls off gently arou... | |
| Making High End Clones at Home for Fun and Savings Given the fairly easy availability of good drivers, can we also buy high quality, simple crossovers? Amplifier kits? Of course.For example; Solen in Canada, Wilmslow in the UK, Linkwitz in the US and many many many others (sorry for not mentionin... | |
| Amplifiers and Horn Loudspeakers It seems that horns are far more likely to own up to the bad side of their reputation with transistors (honky, shrill) Good point. The typical resonance problems of a horn design will be fully revealed in all their glory (ugliness) with SS gear. ... | |
| Upgrade speakers or front end?? Speakers | |
| Best speaker that you dont need a sub under 1.5k Philefreak,I have to agree! Nothing below $10 K that I can think of that does this with a modest degree of accuracy at decent SPL levels. It depends what you want....many $1.5 K speakers produce these frequencies but to do so well is another matte... | |
| Do your speakers have the clap? The best recorded hand clapping I've heard is on a Dave Grusin album called "Migration". I concur - Dave Grusin stuff is just awesome in terms of fidelity (not his live stuff though). Grusin's "Homage to Duke" is such high quality audiophile stuff! | |
| Speaker cone material pro's and con's I second Duke's suggestion! You should definitely get an AES subscription!! (Cone materials are often about balancing of different compromises)Not everything published in AES is perfect nor is it easily digested. Well worth it for those who seek c... | |
| Amplifiers and Horn Loudspeakers undesirably large amounts of negative feedback, a sonic no-no IMHO. The operational amplifier is used in almost every piece of analog circuitry under the sun. Operational amplifiers are employed in circuits using negative feedback to increase the... | |
| What subwoofers are suited 4 audiophiles Was wondering, can I get away with a small cabinet sized subwoofer and still get that accurate smooth blending low frequency boost that I am looking for that disappears in the main speakers output? IMHO, No! If you want accuracy at realistic SPL ... | |
| What subwoofers are suited 4 audiophiles I am looking for an accurate sounding subwoofer that will blend gently into my system and not be so noticed Bear in mind that your ears are far more sensitive at 80Hz than at 20 Hz. 100 Decibels at 10 Hz is barely audible....a mere 30 decibels is... | |
