| Dispersion, narrow, controlled, or bi? I think that for the best, "pinpoint" imaging you want a narrow dispersion and little to no reflection to "smear" the locations of the various "instruments" in the room. This would provide the best "They are here" experience. Experimentation wit... | |
| Single driver full range speakers A JBL D130 and 130A were two different speakers. The D130 had the aluminum dome and the 130A didn't. The voice coil material (copper vs aluminum) and baskets were also different (130A is deeper) and they are not compatible unless you want a Fran... | |
| You are there vs. They are there She is here! In fact, she brought the entire Blues Alley venue and audience with her to our home. https://youtu.be/rKKsVw_szl8 | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. I recently had a post removed from another audio site for being too witty, though, that wasn’t the provided reason. "Ah, come on!" was the reason provided. The post was regarding synergy. And while it was in direct response to another’s post, i... | |
| You are there vs. They are there Not "They are there" but rather "You are there." "They are there" puts them at their venue, but puts you nowhere. "You are there" puts you at their venue listening to their acoustics from a near, center seat. In this case, I would think that y... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? It's been terrible! The site has way too many ads to load and in the past many hidden "roll overs" that would trigger virus warnings/scans that would self trigger. But at least I haven't had any of those in weeks. | |
| My last rodeo Someone say "Rodeo?" Something for everyone! Personally, I prefer the second. https://youtu.be/lb2JCRo5xiM https://youtu.be/f2DEuHWvt0U | |
| SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp You can simulate a tube amp through speaker modification. Put a low value, high wattage resistor in series with the woofer to kill the damping and put a small cap (~2-3 mfd) in parallel with the tweeter to roll off the highs. | |
| Organ transcriptions of classical works – do you prefer to or from? I don't know if it was on that copy, but the CD/album also includes "Nutrocker" played on the Hohner Clavinet. https://youtu.be/Wy0Ud-Dm7j0 | |
| Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear? I rarely listen to my tri-amped set-up, partially because of the seating logistics. Mine is vintage (Super Big Reds) with Marantz amps, and I prefer the Mermans that I created (JBL 18", JBL 10", Heil AMT) with passive crossovers. But then, I des... | |
| Organ transcriptions of classical works – do you prefer to or from? One of my favorites! https://youtu.be/vIL7LONVn-k | |
| You are there vs. They are there Phasing may have to do with it. What if you made a speaker that was out of phase with itself? I’ve never heard speakers that image like my Mermans and this is partially what they do. Signal is fed to the 2251J through a choke as well as by-pass... | |
| You are there vs. They are there @mapman I think it’s the opposite. Directional speakers do not bounce around the room and interact with the room as much so things can be "pin pointed" within the room more accurately. | |
| You are there vs. They are there "They are Here!" So much more involving. https://youtu.be/ApS2wScgU44 | |
| Tannoy or Volti This month’s Stereophile Magazine reviews the Luceras and they would appear to be a very mixed bag. On the one hand, the frequency response has got to be among the worst of what I’ve ever seen them test! The suck-outs are massive! On the other ... |
