| Solving the "complex music problem"? Some people know what an aphorism is, others coach football. | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? That's more clear @frogman , thank you. I think that is a common outcome in setups. People say what they did, then claim to have way better imaging but what they did can't do anything but the opposite. | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? @frogman , It's not just the composer, or the conductor, it's also the placement of the musicians and the hall and how it is recorded. If you can pinpoint two musicians in a piece where that is not the intention then the flaw isn't at pla... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? @ahuvia Looking only at the speaker, what you are describing is intermodulation distortion. It’s intermodulation distortion in components too, but unless you have poor or poorly set up vinyl (or listening to inner groove songs) , or highly di... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused You can do it with speakers you just need your head in a clamp. Fails quite miserably at the human factors aspect of product design. Small movements off the centerline of your head destroy timing. No way around that except head tracking which ther... | |
| Intriguing Speakers From Germany Binaural head and torso simulator and then listening with headphones is the closest you will get to being there. It's not perfect but more perfect in terms of capturing what would be heard than anything else. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 , For an 85" TV, the recommended THX viewing distance is 9.5 feet. For an 8K set, you need to be about 3 feet away to get the full advantage of the resolution. For a 4K set, you need to be about 5 feet. HD, about 11 feet. A 4K set makes s... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Surround recording should be recorded with a fake head in a binaural format because that is how we hear all other recordings are improper. They may sound wonderful but they aren’t accurate by definition. I have done very few surround recordings b... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude what is your view on the damage the internal vibration inflicts on the amp fidelity in active speaker designs? Have you ever tested this. Yes to test. For a DSP based crossover, virtually non existent. There is nothing anywhere... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused You wrote ".. a real horn loaded speaker at 20Hz," and I’m telling you a 20cf. quarter wave tapped horn with a tune a ~22Hz will do honest and proper 20Hz - period. What isn’t proper is asking a smaller size, lower eff. direct radiator doing the ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused And @kingharold , I noticed that the THT measurements are all corner loaded, hence 1/8 space and a 9db gain. Yet the website compares to Genelec readily available measurements which are 1/2 space, i.e. only 3db gain. Not exactly an apples to apple... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , For you Genelec, the mid is the waveguide for the tweeter and the front is the waveguide for the mid, so we better hope things have gotten better. Reflections, higher order modes, throat and mouth and edge diffraction, resonanc... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused That's not the question @donavabdear asked. | |
| Intriguing Speakers From Germany A joke or a parody. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Yes you have talked extensively @kota1 , that is not in question. |
