| How important is power response? Ojgalli,Billy Woodman believes it is very important. It is one of the main benefits of a dome mid range. The absence of an even power response in the mid range in most designs means that the much more dispersive bass and tweeter will tend to domin... | |
| Are there speakers like this? ATC speakers fit your bill exactly - second hand you may find a 50 or 100 close to your price. Much more dispersive than most other speakers (soft dome tweeter, 3" soft dome mid range). I assume you don't want a reflex port because you worry that ... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Does any digital step in the recording process ruin music forever? What about digitally recorded music that has been mastered to Analog (Vinyl) - is this better than straight CD?(I guess my question is directed to those that claim Analog is always... | |
| brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good Has anyone considered bacteria? Some types of bacteria will break down petrochemical products, albeit very slowly. Theory: The cover acts as a drum head and amplifies the sound of the bacteria mulling about along the surface.Of course, brass is of... | |
| Analog experiment Pawlowski6132, "If you're on the fence about going vinyl and you don't have a big collection, stick with CD." I just can't understand why people say that. The whole digital thing is a conspiracy to get people to part with more money for less quali... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters? Your key problem, as I understand it, is that this has happened twice....It is highly likely that you are overdriving your amplifier and then burning up the voice coil or protective resistor(if there is one) on your tweeter.This happens when you h... | |
| Analog experiment Anyone prefer gold and bartering with real commodities to the convenience of cash and credit cards...? One is real and the other is a mathematical representation ...kinda like the difference between Analog and Digital. (LOL, perhaps I need to play... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? i value my ears too much to listen beyond 85 db.... what i am trying to say is it depends upon preference and your choice of music. Good point.My point was that most real world instruments/orchestra/band go significantly louder than 85 db and a go... | |
| Analog experiment Arthur,Your experience matches mine although my experimentations were done in the mid 80's. Analog can produce excellent sound, so too can CD digital. For a given recording one or the other may win out. I could not find a consistent difference to ... | |
| Need help generating a short list Specifically, I'm interested in getting away from the typical, conventional designs Driver design has not changed or improved that much since the 70's, IMHO. Competition and price pressure has continued to increase (after all, pretty much anybody... | |
| Need help generating a short list Seadweller,I think a larger model ATC might meet your described needs. realize it would be impossible to find a loudspeaker with the dynamics of a horn, midrange of a planar or electrostatic, and top to bottom detail of a superior conventional de... | |
| Newbie needs help I second each of Bob Reynolds comments. | |
| brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good So, depending on how close your speakers are, room construction, type of AC outlet and overall system performance it could make a nice improvement in sound when you swap out the cover. A 2 3/4" by 4 1/2" electrical cover of surface area 12 square... | |

| Listening out of the Sweet Spot - What Works? Speakers with wide even dispersion across all frequencies will do what you need - the sound maintains correct timbral character and balance even outside of a narrow sweetspot such as in the next room or an alcove. Dynamic range is also critical to... |
