| 1st order crossover? As others have said the first order aspect of the crossovers has nothing intrinsically to do with the narrow range of the one driver, except that the designer evidently like first order crossovers and thought this implementation worked best with h... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews "Stereophile" will review direct sales products (with less than five dealers, obviously) if they have a money back return policy.Hyperion has certainly been mentioned in various "Stereophile" show reports. I can't remember if there was a full revi... | |
| Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids".... None of their models sounded good to me the one day I heard them, which is one possible way to explain the speaker measurements if not the more enthusiastic reviews.... | |
| 320bee and NHT SB-3's The 320 is not really that power shy; isn't it 50wpc and then with NAD's emphasis on dynamic headroom?Even so, without an axe to grind against the NHT, except for the fact that I personally don't like black speakers, I would look at the Response A... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3.2 Integrated vs. others Those are some sweeping generalizations, and besides, I am not sure a chip amp is right for the 1.6 given their low efficiency.Why are you "sidegrading" to a new integrated if there are no problems? | |
| Why aren't component active XOs more popular? >But I would think that a good many it would benifit if done properly which at times can be a tiresome task but worth it. The speakers you gave examples of are fine speakers indeed but you didn't give an example of a speaker that you heard in p... | |
| Why aren't component active XOs more popular? >Suits-me I don't know if you have heard the same speaker in passive then active but I have and there is no contest the active is far superior and the passive that used to be in was a tweeked out one.Okay, I'd like to know what speaker you hear... | |
| Why aren't component active XOs more popular? Well, first, answering that active crossovers are superior does not address the question posed: Why aren't they more common?And active crossovers are not the best solution for every budget or speaker or circumstance, particularly if not included i... | |
| Why aren't component active XOs more popular? Sure, a lot of manufactured speakers are junk. So's a lot of diy stuff.Anyway, here's the last two lines of my post:>In terms of sound quality, it makes no sense whatever to with entry level, non diy electronics or speakers. In terms of being a... | |
| Is there any way to get into tubes for super cheap Antique Sound Labs has the successor components to the old wave amps. Now, there up to 20 wpc as monoblocks with an accompanying pre-amp. The total cost for all three chassis is under around $700, I think. | |
| Why aren't component active XOs more popular? It's not so easy to add an electronic crossover after the fact to just any system. To be brief, first you need a speaker which truly has separate crossover paths for each driver, and not just two or more sets of terminals on each speaker. Second, ... | |
| Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc? >Chadnliz - Do I really need to post an example of his politics?Yes, that's what I asked for: Examples of his "far left" politics. I don't think you have any such examples.Now, if you're only joking then that's what I'll take your opinions for.... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Thank you all for the interesting info and links.>You don't need a stepped baffle to get time-alignment. A sloped front baffle actually works better.I was imprecise, and meant to indicate aligned acoustic centers, be it via stepped or sloped ba... | |
| Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc? I don't think opposing Bush constitutes far left politics at all. Many centrist people opposed him; just not enough of them (as tabulated.) If you have some other indication than Springsteen is "far left," I wish you would post it.There are a lot ... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Trelja > As Larry alluded to, Bud Fried did produce time aligned speakers.I would like more information on this, since I cannot remember a the Fried speaker whose drivers had aligned acoustic centers via a stepped baffle arrangement, an obvious... |
