| Outstanding Speakers, Outstanding Saffy the new dedicated stands are outstanding..Having used the previous 24in Sistrum stands with the Caravelles the new stands allow the speakers to open up even more..The new stands allow the speakers to become invisible with more speed and top ... | |
| Isolation cones. Single piece cones and or points are more effective and sound better than the multi element points described above.You have much superior coupling and energy transfer with a single surface/element device.Tom | |
| Making a Geographic Warren I am using my Caravelles with a pair of James EMB 1200 subs, each on their own Sistrum Sp101 paltforms..With the subs as tight to the outside of the mains as possible and one half inch back the blend is seamless. In fact I was able to loop ... | |
| Redirecting bass frequencies Try and do one thing at a time so you can evaluate any change that may occur. If you take the same path as me,I wouldn't add any absorbent material until you have completed the changes in geometry. You may find you need no other fixes. Much of wha... | |
| Redirecting bass frequencies Yes..but you have walls, floor and ceiling those are the same. You could make panels to fit that could be moved around.The panels can be made and covered to compliment the room.. Really the difference is, panels that are designed to absorb vs thos... | |
| Redirecting bass frequencies Thanks for asking..I am not a engineer just much of a experimentor. Been in and around audio for thirty five years.Much of what I have found I have applied to my own room over the years, not all at once but a little at a time. My Dunlavy SC4's as ... | |
| Redirecting bass frequencies So you buy a preamp with unlimited dynamic scale and match it with a power amp with huge dynamic swing powering a speaker combo that can maximize the flow within your room..All that is great! So then you buy and install products that reduce the sc... | |
| why spikes under speakers??? Hey TWL has left the game and thats a bad thing .... Eat beans and gather round the campfire and continue the storytelling..I'm leaving before the swamp gas rises anymore. Regards..the other Tom | |
| I want profoundly better bass Two subs..one placed on each side of the mains, the acoustic centers of all in alignment for proper wavelaunch will ensure a wall to wall soundstage. Timbre matching becomes apparent when all speakers are mechanically grounded thru high speed devi... | |
| Bryan Ferry - Boys and Girls SACD -long- Really well done, well written..I thought Avalon was it .... I just purchased the SACD years after I wore out the LP..I will purchase Boys and Girls upon your well written review..Thanks Tom | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Joe about a year ago or so ..well I guess I got into a verbal pissing match with a speaker designer here on the Gon who told me that series crossovers didnt work..Well maybe he couldnt make them work but Fried made them work and the fellows with S... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? No, not the same.. | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Larry there is a fellow down in Lexington that was designing speakers with first order series crossovers back in 1998 and his last name wasn't Thiel...Tom | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Larry look at the patent disclosure on the government site..Patent #6381334 owned by a Mr.Alexander from there in Utah..Crossover appears to me to be a Series type.First patent uses only inductors and resistors, no caps. Second patent by the same ... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Trelja am I correct in saying that a true series crossover has to to pass all the information sent to it by the amplifier, unlike most every other crossover design? Tom |
