| Open baffle speakers Coke vs. Pepsi. There is no right or wrong. Neither type of speaker is unquestionably technically superior. In my limited experience with a small number or audio enthusiasts, a majority moved to open baffle from box speakers. All described a m... | |
| Open baffle speakers But, give me 3 hours and I'll build you a open baffle speaker in my garage and the sound of it will get you jawdropped. I already know which pro drivers to use and how to build your crossover. I'll charge 20k just for kicks and laugh all the way ... | |
| Open baffle speakers Open baffle sonic benefits do not surpass boxed speaker designs from engineers who know their stuff. Two different sonic presentation, nothing to do box speaker designers knowing their stuff. Open baffle is much easier/cheaper to design/build. E... | |
| Do your ears deceive you? Long ago a friend went crazy over a couple speakers designed by a Professor of Engineering. The Prof claimed to have found the magic enclosure dimensions and configuration for flat 20-20K response from a single 4 inch driver. Also claimed a perf... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @immatthewj More likely an AI programmed to be make illogical, whiney, rambling, irritating posts that dismiss facts and logic provided by those trying to be helpful. | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update I don’t think he meant that literally... But, mofi’s process has been the most foolproof w.r.t mitigating unnecessary abuse of the tape and offering the best fidelity on vinyl. Bingo. There are factors of context involved. MoFi decided on a pr... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update Y'all need to deal with facts of this controversy. After 1980 there was digital manipulation of every mix transferred to a Master Tape. So an analog master tape from after 1980 transferred directly to vinyl today is not 100% analog. Before 1980... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update @invalid by your logic an inferior quality LP is the preferred end product. The all analog purists that started this ridiculous tempest in a teapot would happily pay a premium for an inferior product, Right? Taste of the sausage is all that cou... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update @invalid You are splitting hairs to the extreme. There is more difference in LP quality introduced by master pressing disks wearing. Let's sue all the LP manufacturers over that issue. Grab some more freebies. | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? The OP has an opinion, is not forthcoming with relevant information, and shows no interest in "better understanding" as claimed. No reason to continue this circular firing squad. | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? The point of the entire thread was to better understand whether there's a benefit in doing room treatments given a furnished room which already inherently does a lot of this. @emergingsoul Did you investigate any of the sources of technical i... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Like pulling teeth to get a description of the OP's system and room. Shocking, he has room treatment, although not sure if the room information provided is complete. At some point measurements are taken, with bass traps in a normal living room. ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @timkeough1964 sums it up well. Something is really off with OP comments. He has started 225 posts, and has had 897 replies, in the past 3 1/2 years. Somehow conveying details of his superior system and the room it is in is somehow problematic? ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Allowing that emergingsoul suffers some medical/physical limitations, the noted high number of discussions started do raise some questions. Also, have not seen any description of his system offered. The few topics I have read started by emerging... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. Everybody is free to spend as much or as little on audio gear as they so choose. However, don't fall into the trap of thinking expensive is always technically superior sounds better. A $100K amp is not 1000 times better than a good $1K amp. Als... |
