| DIY Nearfield Monitors Also, you would need to make sureThat if the wooferis ported youWould need to alter the portingFor the current box | |
| DIY Nearfield Monitors Depending on design... if Driver spacing and any driver staggeringOr mounting type, I.e. flush mountEtc, the answer would be yes...If not, you could hear some differencesIn time alignment or cabinetDiffraction | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Johnk..... I betcha that wherever that baby beams it smacks you in the head.Really though, we're off of the ops topic, but what we have been discussing about cone drivers is the where the driver starts losing dispersion characteristics. I kinda el... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Hi Ptss, I've been down this road before, I won't push it, but I've been in the discussion of calling a frequency peak vs reduced dispersion before. I've experimented with curved cones, phase plugs and even flat cones.... I have found some varianc... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Johnnyb53, are you saying that all 6.5 inch drivers start beaming at 2086hz....??? | |
| How loud is loud? I know my wife walks by regularly and says.... "That's so Loud!"I normally listen around 85db to 90db average, peaks at 95... 121db is the threshold of pain | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Hi Dweller, A few answers.... The obvious, we use a mid range to play mids... smaller than a 4 to 5 inch will normally not play low enough to cover the entire vocal range... many drivers above 5 inch have cone break up or frequency response that w... | |
| British Speakers vs All the Rest In the years gone by Brits did have their own detailed and rolled off sound, but if you really think about it everyone is using drivers from Dyn, scanspeak, audax, seas, tangband, HiVi, Morel, etc, etc, etc... in the end, its all really about how ... | |
| Hales transcendence 8 tweeters Been about 10 Days, I assume no news is good news. Are you a happy camper? Uh, happy audiophile? | |
| Hales transcendence 8 tweeters No, the Dayton F model is not lower in sensitivity than the Vifa that you have in there now, it is actually about the same, but the impedance is a much closer match to the original D26 series "Hales" vifa, so it will cross properly and hopefully g... | |
| Hales transcendence 8 tweeters Ejvic, I hope that you did indeed buy the F version (not A version) of the tweeter that I recommended.... I've been researching the Hales info extensively. I have a photo of the crossover and I'm sorry to say now, but I have found a replacement di... | |
| Hales transcendence 8 tweeters Ejvic, don't worry about the crossover... mount the tweeter, get a good listen.... then we can worry about changes if your not happy. I suspect that it will be pretty good... and if the earlier post on the Seas tweeter was correct, we may need to ... | |
| Hales transcendence 8 tweeters Hi ZD542, Not on the binding post... a single resistor will add resistance to the speaker, if added to the tweeter, it will add resistance to the tweeter. If Hales used a single resistor in the crossover as a pad, the resistor is figured into the ... | |
| Hales transcendence 8 tweeters Ejvic, Once installed give them 40 to 60 hours before getting critical... the worst thing you would need is to change 1 or 2 resistors in your crossover, You will get these to blend quite well. I'll be glad to help with that if you can get the inf... | |
| Anything you can put between spikes and carpet? I use standard spikes on carpet, Measure very carefully for perfect placement. Once I get placement just right, I stand on the base of my stand and push the spikes through the carpet |
