| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Twl as you know all the signal in a series crossover has to be played unlike a parallel crossover where some of the signal is dumped to ground..Seems to me that a parallel crossover with some of its signal dumped to ground, that unused signal woul... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Pal I will be glad to help in any way I can with advice on setup, breakin, room acoustics etc with your system with these new speakers..I had the original prototypes in my room for 6 months and that was over 3 years ago..The final version that you... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Cinematic systems.I have recently sold and installed a AV system consisting of 3 Caravelles across the front with a pair of the new stands..The center stand is a variation of the new and the standard speaker stand..It had to be so as the top of th... | |
| Installing Bucket Magnets Every answer posted is the correct answer. I used in the past bucking magnets to make a shielded center speaker before ther was such a thing..We used silicon and wire ties to hold everything in place till all was cured. The sub may not be a factor... | |
| Two subwoofers in smallish HT room? db you now own both..Feel free to experiment, by doing so can only increase your experience and may be beneficial later on..I do feel your results will have you placing the hgs 10 in the lower level..Tom | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Barry is there any information on the speed or rate of vibrational dissapation of materials such as those in your designs versus the reloading or buildup of vibrational resonance in a typical stand alone audio component..Tom ..I sell audio and vid... | |
| Two subwoofers in smallish HT room? Electrical phase reversal may actually be putting the sub in acoustical phase with the mains.You can also have a phase or timing issue with another sub plugged into a separate AC line other than that used for the main sub..Tom | |
| Two subwoofers in smallish HT room? Two of the same subs for sure. I try to match wave launch of subs with that of the two front mains.Measure out from back edge of dust cap to front edge of each respective speaker and sub. The difference will be the amount of offset..Typical sub wi... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling I work for myself and for my clients. I sell products that I own myself, some of them are sourced from Starsound.Tom | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Why change form? Are there no losses in conversion? If you let it vibrate, like it will do anyway, no matter what and you provide a efficient path way for vibration to exit would there not be be less loss than high mass dampening? Some coupling de... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Barry you have not provided for an exit stratedgy for vibration to vacate the speaker. In fact you have provided no way out at all.. by adding mass and dampening at the top of the speaker you have 2 totally opposed counter productive non exit path... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Direct coupling if implemented and properly performed increases the likley hood of sucessfull resonance transfer.Ask your loved one for further comment..Tom | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Newbee way back when my oldest sister had a senior class prom party at my parents house, I remember my father being really pissed off the morning after..Reason was the new hardwood floors were dented from all the young ladies who wore 4 inch heels... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling A properly designed point or spike will provide a geometric path way for resonant energy to exit thru the point and into the larger mass it is direct coupled with. There are discs on the market which when placed under the coupling point increase t... | |
| Does surface a component sit on affect the sound. Applications of resonance transfer are now being applied within speaker enclosures, speaker crossovers, amplifier chassis design and the source itself, acoustic instruments. Tom |
