| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , Even for us, where the speaker is connected directly to the amplifier, if it is a simple voltage drive amplifier, there is simply no discussion of amplifier matching, other than can it drive the load, and can it achieve the target ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude It doesn’t seem like a very hard problem to create a spreadsheet about speaker drivers, amplifiers, crossovers, cables, etc. and come out with a compatibility number. I understand the changing variables and functions of curves as... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , your headphones are not too analytical. The only thing they are is "too hyped". There is nothing particularly analytical about them. Frequency response has a lot of irregularities. Distortion is far from class leading. These are not... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , about to run out the door, but the high end Focals, like some other speakers in that space, B&W comes to mind, have too much off axis energy at high frequencies and by today's standards poor directivity control. Unless they are ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Why did you start this thread? You are an adult. You have 2 choices. Participate in a topic. Don't participate in a topic. Option 3, insulting others, complaining when a topic does not go where you want it to go, etc. is not an adult option. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , not sure I posted this: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1801421115 | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Again, why would @donavabdear want to downgrade from the Genelecs to the Focals. Regurgitating marketing blurbs is not an argument. Neither is summing up amplifier power and saying "its 450 watts" without understanding what frequencies power peaks... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Why would @donavabdear downgrade from the Genelecs to the Focals? | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @skyscraper +1. Rather disappointing display. It seems pretty clear that most are not even aware of what they are putting down. | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time Never owned a pickup, maybe that is why I never developed a taste for old country? I don't hate rap even though I am between 50 and 70. I like new country. It sounds like old soft rock with some twang added. Never felt a need to jump on the net an... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? Old men yell at screen, details at 11. I wonder if many here could name even 5 of the top songs from last year? Some Hip-Hop is really awful, but within the envelope of of popular music, Hip-Hop/Rap arguably has presented some of the more intere... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @o_holter This is where I found the measurement: https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/measurements/atmasphere_ma1_mkii2/ This seems much different from what is on the website for the product, 2.3 ohms. Frequency response with a dummy load in gre... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1, Read the room dude. The OP, "I took 6 years of of math and physics in college all pertaining to electronics and sound ", and he does sound for major motion pictures. You keep acting like he is some sort of neophyte, and while this may not... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Most of the diffusers on ETSY are diffuser shaped toys. ETSY is not where you get diffusers from. They need to be properly engineered for a wide enough bandwidth. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear would not those natural sounds have harmonic structure? If the bass is not correct, then the sound is not correct. I have a different emotional reaction to what sounds like real thunder versus something that sounds like "fake thunder"... |
