I think of the room and all its contents as passive radiators.I also consider a speaker cabinet as a passive radiator. Remember you and I talked of how to remove a source of a fuzzzz tone near the top of a speaker enclosure..I think you said you c...

That NASA software is most likely beyond my mind and computer..Will look into it especially for anything concerning boundary layers of solid surfaces and air flow. After all the listening room is a big speaker cabinet with many objects that create...

If the 2 of U spring him or her out they will be back to interfering with the speed of sound in virtually no time. Tom

The best I ever heard the Klipschhorns was when they were placed on the largest set of Starsound Sistrum platforms. They were still partially  loaded into the corners and probably 6inches off the floor. The box resonance of that large enclosure wa...

On my mids or woofers I use brass inserts into the wood or in my case cast granite. I then seat the drivers with mortite/rope caulk and thread in the brass fasteners. Tom

Starting with a pair of Dunlavy SC4s back in the 90's I have replaced all the steel fasteners with brass in all my electronics and speakers. Steel will bend the flux field of the electronic path. Easily heard on a circuit board stand off and its f...
