| Jeff Bagby passes away due to Covid I guess I’m not saying anything new here. I had met Jeff and had a few conversations with him. We thought very much alike in most aspects of life and speaker design philosophy, we are the same age. Really enjoyed my limited time with this true hum... | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver Assuming that you are correct and your current 15 is 96db, as long as that 96db is based on 2.83v @ 1 meter, you will need around a 10db pad on the Fostex. The Fostex impedance curve shows that from 10k to 15k, this tweeter runs nearly a flat 8 ... | |

"more juice"Actually, a capacitor consists of two or more conductive plates which are not connected or touching each other, they electrically separated either by air or by some form of a good insulating material s... | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? To have a guy that is clueless and argues almost every point under gods creation is one thing, but to have a guy chime in that calls himself a manufacture that apparently has never taken the time to measure drivers at several points of break in i... | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? @geoffkait I would argue that many, if not most of those things mentioned also change during break in. Of course, that may or may not be the intent of your post. | |
