| Beryllium Tweets Beryllium tweeters is not "the new kid on the block", Been around since the 80’s.But the real problem is, that many people (may be even the majority) that think they have heard a beryllium tweeter, have nor really heard one. https://www.youtube.co... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Pretty silly OP, for sure. Audiophiles are those that enjoy audio equipment. Those that can solder, build or test their speakers, are a subset of the greater set of audiophiles. As one who does build and test my own audiophile level speakers, I am... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" I have read a lot about speakers "disappearing" so that one can't tell from where the sound is emanating. But, what about all the stereo tunes where the recordiing engineer intentionally pans the music to come from one side or the other? Can the... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars I think that WILSON AUDIO has "lost their marbles". For 3/4 of a million I could hire the CSO to play some private concerts, and come away more satisfied. My impression; - - - these speakers are "rich boy’s toys". I doubt if you would find more th... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Mike: The Audiogon discussion forums have changed. The days of IMO or IMHO are gone. Several members seem to think that their opinions are fact - in a very bloviating way. Their chronic posts are as fatiguing a noisy tweeter. Not just the Audi... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars ^^^^ This is a strangely common remark made by people who scoff at very high priced audio equipment. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen it. Some say "you could hire The Stones to play for you personally with that type of money," etc. Even ... | |
| Little two-way boxes on a stand.... Add a sub and they sound just as big as a floor stander. This is pretty much what I have found. I have some incredible DIY (with close to state of the art drivers and x-over), sitting on a woofer module, and they sound as big as any 3 way floor... | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium Also check into Genesis Audio, Maestro at the top of your price range. And check out the Focal Kanta 3 at the bottom ($13,000) of your range. Really detailed and dynamic...NEVER MIND! They use Beryllium! | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium I like the Sanders, Vandersteen, Legacy, Cube Audio, recommendations. All great, all different.Also check into Genesis Audio, Maestro at the top of your price range. | |
| Putting speakers next to other speakers From experience, I know it is a compromise for both sets of speakers.Bass not be as tight on both sets, imaging and soundstage will not be as good.But if you do it, make sure you stagger them, so each pair has an inside and an outside speaker. Cha... | |
| Speaker engineering and design its only one speaker designers opinions. Every designer thinks his method is best. Oh bloody hell...Since you think that good speaker designers', knowledge, methods, testing, etc, is so meaningless, and a scam, time for you to put up or shut u... | |
| Speaker engineering and design Big fan of Danny's vids. He is indeed knowledgeable and helpful. | |
| INNER GROOVE DISTORTION I use a 12" unipivot arm with no anti-skate adjustment, and I have zero audible inner groove distortion.I am using a vintage NOS Fidelity Research MC with a line contact stylus. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I do not believe it makes a difference. Just expectation bias. But my cousin swears by them.He has tested quite a few different types. He likes those porcelain ceramic insulators. They can be found for a lot less money than the ones made for audio... | |
| Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs? It was recently suggested to me that rather than doing a crossover upgrade I look into an active crossover for my Tannoy FSMs. Anyone experienced enough to guide me? What advantages does active provide? Even if you get the crossover points and slo... |
