| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? It is fair, I think, to say that our wallets dictate the composition of our systems. | |
| Quality answer to dangers of Tube amps running under no load Solid state amps can also do this. My Sunfire Signature sub is now not working because it powered up without a speaker connected. The amp had been separated from the speaker cabinet. My "Universal Switcher" unit (for use of comparing any two... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Actually, this is a very cool bass track that "stacks" an acoustic bass on an electric bass. https://youtu.be/oG6fayQBm9w | |
| Mixing Crossover Caps..., What Would You Do??? As noted, this is the conjugate cap and is used with a 5.8 mH choke to produce a 245 Hz crossover frequency for the JBL 2241H 18" woofer. | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? If one wanted to compare factory bi-amped speakers to the same speakers with passive crossovers, one need look no further than Altec. Just one example: | |
| What happened to Yamaha electronics? I have and use an RX-Z9 RECEIVER bought new for $4,050 in 2003, the first year they had a 10% off sale. This unit now has over 35,000 hours on it and still functions as new! I’ve actually worn out the first remote. The unit operates in Class A/... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? BTW, JBL does note the dynamic compression for a 2226H at 1.5 dB between 1 watt and 100 watts. The 2226H uses the vented gap technology, same as my 2241H, and JBL notes that this measure was instituted to reduce the power compression. "JBL intro... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? "JBL measured the frequency response of my speakers @ 1 watt @ 10 watts and @ 100 watts and they have <1 dB compression of SPL output. See speaker specifications here last page. Mike" I don’t think this means what you think it means. ... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? "I would expect a speaker rated for 400 watts to be able to handle 100 watts with little to no compression. After all that is 6 db less than rated power." You would be surprised! I use JBL 2241H 18" woofers rated at 600 watts continuous. These ... | |
| Musings on Switching Power Supplies (LPS for Oppo / DirecTV/ Radiance) ...Or better yet..., get rid of the 103 and get a 95, 105, 105D, or 205. The power supply is where the differences lie. I can't imagine that any "audiophile" would purchase a "3" when they could have bought a "5". | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? Actually, no..., the difference between 1 watt and 100 watts would be less than 20 dB because the speakers will undergo power/thermal compression at higher power levels (especially sustained) and this reduces their dB output. The reduction could b... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? The crossover can be used to modify flaws in the drivers’ response curves, or tailor the sound to the room/individual’s taste and so can be better than having no crossover at all. It all depends on the drivers chosen to do the job and what is exp... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? @deep_333: How about some examples in the Rock genre? When I was at THE Show last year, I had them play this track on the SVS speakers and they had no highs/life. Would love to see small speakers do justice to it at realistic volume. https:... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? @saummisra My own design/build/modifications using JBL 2241 18", JBL 2251J 10", and modified ESS Great Heil AMT. The soundstage and imaging are among the best I’ve ever heard. And they are even better now than when the video was made. But my S... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? The problem with Tin Pan Alley is that it sounds good on most anything of quality. But, it is a nice demo tune and certainly can show the differences in equipment. In this case, what this demonstrates is the difference in "snap" between the Yama... |
