| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here @erik_squires I would agree with Wilson philosophy. Mid range is most important followed by bass and finally treble.The fact is that very good tweeters can be made for about $50 and the job they do is fairly easy - so why spend more?A good mid ran... | |
| Best Drum Solos As for Bonham, he really supported the song adding to Jones or Page while keeping everything in a funky swing feel with plenty of tasty triplets. No mention of David Garabaldi?And Dennis Chambers??or Dany Carey ???There are sooooo many fantastic d... | |
| Best Drum Solos So far I see no mention of Phil Rudd the human metronome who just sits in the pocket all night long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tOKYFR4Rzg&feature=shareI don't think I have ever seen Phil do a drum solo! | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering @seanheis1 Secret Sauce LOLNothing new about anything I mentioned - all this has been understood for 50 years and more. Most conventional loudspeaker designers go a long way to avoid comb filtering - careful driver placement and steep crossovers a... | |
| Opinion: Turning Off the Filtering Absolutely I can hear the room and surfaces around you when someone speaks or claps the hand.I would be able to get around quite OK if I were blind as I can definitely sense things around me aurally. Ever see a blind person tapping their white sti... | |
| Best Drum Solos +1 bdpall excellent drummers!I agree about the importance of tasty groove drumming that just carries the songI think Steve Ferrone deserves a mention toohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk3N84ArTnoand Chad Smith who is just a fantastic groove pocket ... | |
| I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos @kdude66 From about 4 to 15 KHz in the case of the tweeter. 4Khz is about 3 inches and 15KHz is about 1 inch in wavelength. As an example imagine two tweeters spaced 6 inches apart. The combined reflected energy they give out will produce total ca... | |
| I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos More examples of comb filtering - hopefully you now know what to listen for - it is certainly not always a bad sound - quite often it is desirable in pop/rock and electronic music. The faux stereo effect is perhaps the most impressive demo on the ... | |
| I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos @kdude66 If you are familiar with panels then you will know the sound of comb filtering. If you use a flanger or reverb on a guitar you will be familiar with the effect too.It is hard to describe but comb filtering makes the sound seem to come fro... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here @erik_squires I think we agree. There are advantages and disadvantages to each business model in different industries.So I think the very issues you raise about performance or the best is a determining factor in choice to go integrated or not. I... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here @erik_squires I don't know about Magico but modifying a mass market driver doesn't sound like engineering but more like tweaking. If a run of special drivers is made for them by the OEM then what happens when they run out - owners are left wit... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here @erik_squires +1 yes Tekton is excellent value for its performance and so is my Golf R but my Golf R is not a McLaren P1 and I would not begin to make comparisons of that sort as the Golf R is just not in the same leagueAlso Making speaker drive... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here ATC drivers have cost that much for years. ATC got started with the Supertramp tours back in the 70’s providing the best woofers available at that time for their live stadium performances. There is definitely a market for overbuilt drivers just as... | |
| Best Drum Solos I am a drummer and I don’t really like drum solos as a groove feel is more important to me and just as difficult as all the crazy technical skill.Here is an example of both groove and tremendous technical skill and independence and good mix of mus... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering @213runnin It does sound like the DI are amazing value. Cutting out the retailer must be a big part of it. A $6000 speaker sold direct from factory could be easily $3000 as no dealer cut.I recall Energy Pro 22 punched well above their weight but t... |
