| Speaker Height - improved bass response. The late Peter Garland Snell has patents from the early 70's on the shape and design of baffles and their relationship to loading to room surfaces. Some may look to the United States Patent Office for guidance, number 3,964,571 issued June 22nd 19... | |
| Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak Everything is modulated from either it's own inneraction or from some outside source. Motion is endless, as is the modulated distortion that results. Try hanging a stationary hat on that. Tom | |
| Dynaudio sub with C1's George,I first placed the Sp101 platforms so that one leg fell with in the footprint of the stands that hold my mains. This way I could place each sub as close to its partner as possible. I then aligned the sub on its platform so its voice coil wa... | |
| Dynaudio sub with C1's George,I agree with Bob about the use of an external crossover. If you go this route make sure the crossover has a variable phase control. A zero or 180 phase switch just doesn't get it. I know by using and measuring the in room response with a pa... | |
| Dynaudio sub with C1's Xtp16If your Rel sub sounds slow its because of self induced stored energy. There are methods and devices that collect and disapate these resonaces. The stored mechanical energy will blend itself with any note to follow. These methods should be ap... | |
| 2 Channel Sub Woofer, 1 or 2 Sub-woofers? I have used two subs for the last thirty years. Try to wave launch [time align] each sub to its respective left or right main partner. Its all about proper phase control. Tom | |
| The day the music died. Larry,Yes I recall your reaction that day. Funny what we sometimes remember and hold onto.We demo'd on Essence 10's.. 2'3rd's of the way back on the left side of the store. Have several versions of "True Love Ways". One of these versions has a sho... | |
| What should be under my speakers? GentsI can tell you without an audible doubt with my ears and two other pairs in audience that tighter coupling is more benefical than that provided by leveling. Unless you use additional added shim or shims of the same material you will loose cou... | |
| What should be under my speakers? Time warp..Just a few years back the mere written word Audiopoint, Sistrum, coupled, resonance transfer, those words those terms were beaten up on these pages. So now with a little temperance from all involved, myself included those once riddled w... | |
| DIY wood diffusers Buconero,Thanks for the link to see these panels. I made something similar in ways except the inverse. I built angular enclosures around my ceiling mounted video screen and a soffit overhead surrounding the ductwork. The enclousers are built of bi... | |
| Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak TeajayCongratulations you have sucessfully direct coupled your loudspeakers to the higher mass of ground. You have shortened the delay time and amount of energy storage within the diaphragm and the frame work that tensions the membrane. The wave l... | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating Mapman,Larry everyone else all this goes back to downloadable music and the I-Pod as the new audio reference. Nobody makes money on video.. its the draw that brought new customers into a store. Whether it was lo-fi mid-fi or hi-fi, video drives th... | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating The Magnolia in Best Buy here in Louisville is terrible. No one greets you or says HI or nods or gives you any feed back at all. If you gave them a moon shot over their heads they probably wouldn't notice that either. I have escorted my customers ... | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating Larry,If you look at the time line , decline in sales and the sudden drop in stock price, it all pivots around the firing of their sales professionals. Tom | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Norm,I did a comparison between the Sp101 and the Sp1..I thought the Sp1 maybe better because of its lower mass and what I thought would be greater reactivity. I can say in my system that the Sp101 sounded better. I used an Audio Research tube amp... |
