Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
I was going to pour a pair of Caravelles when they came to rip up my old driveway and form a new one..I figured before they put the gravel down they usually put down some steel reinforcement. I could make some dedicated Sistrum stands from that.Th...

Please send me a sample of your rendition of this product so I may compare with the original..Tom

Try what? Imagine what? Create what? It's all been done before.Its all black and white..No shades of gray ..no color...boundaries ..no boundaries.Who'da thunk it, its purely academic. Tom 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
Eldartford..if you invert the phase the amp is still out of balance with the speaker because of all the crap hanging on one leg ..doesn't matter which leg..Tom 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
Eldartford. You are right with these examples..but most every crossover I have seen dangles on the postive side only..Some very complex first order x-overs such as those found in some T---l speakers are tied across the positive leg and this may be... 
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...
