| Crossover or crossoverless Absolutely nothing conventional about these. But what works, works. Got to make my Heil mods to make it all work though. | |
| Electrical question Take the microwave off of the circuit with a self-charging battery backup for under $450 and have the battery when you want it (e.g., camping) or need (e.g., power failure). These will easily run a microwave. A quick fix that you can have in pla... | |
| Can AI Build a speaker? AI is lazy and doesn't bother to check the facts. It just looks for what's popularly promulgated on the 'net and goes with that. | |
| Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend I tell you, the nicest thing about designing and building your own is you can make changes to your taste, assuming that you have the knowledge and equipment to confirm your changes. To me, the female voice was still a bit too chesty. The RTA sho... | |
| Electrical question Put the microwave on a "Jackery" battery back-up or similar. My microwave and frig are on the same 20 amp circuit and my Jackery (1,500 continuous/3,000 peak) can run them both. The time you run the microwave won’t deplete it and it continually ... | |

| "I Trust My Ears" "Trust my brains?" Nah, that would apply to any of the senses. Do you "believe your eyes" or are they just conduits to your brain that does the believing? | |
| Can AI Build a speaker? If it is really "smart" one should be able to specify the woofer and tweeter and AI should: Search the world wide web to find all the data it can on those components, Design the optimal cabinet for those components to a set of specs (e.g., flat ... | |

| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! While the piano may sound 70 feet wide and therefore unrealistic, is the "listening arc" really any wider than that sitting in your living room? I’ve heard plenty of piano recordings where the sound appears to go well beyond the speakers and cert... | |
| Single way or multiway "Some may balk at the need for more amplifier channels, like tripling the amp count for a 3-way setup, but that’s simply what active configuration necessitates; one dedicated amplifier channel directly connected to each driver section with no pass... |
