| 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... | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? Forward this sounds just like my CD, so it would be the same backwards. Does this sound like a clear reversal of anything intelligible? https://youtu.be/DaXnqw-Zv0Y | |
| Crossover and Wiring Upgrade What is it about the speakers that you don't like that you are trying to improve? If you intend to open up the crossovers to rewire them, you will get FAR MORE "difference" by changing the value an internal resistor or capacitor by even just a sm... | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? @mylogic "The repeat groove (from memory) contains a reversed recording that repeats, and repeats, and repeats……." "Never to see any other one..." ...And you would be well advised to turn down the volume a bit before it comes on. I don’t know ... | |
| Single way or multiway These is one crossover-less speaker that has wide accepted approval..., just not with audiophiles. It’s been made for a long time going through various iterations, but stays true to its original design. | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? I can easily hear Ringo's chair squeak as well as the various pianos' overtones in the piano fade-out of Day in the Life. Final chord and completion A grand piano in EMI's Studio Two, where the closing piano chord was recorded on 22 February 1... | |
| Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ? Altecs done right. Tri-amped Super Big Reds in furniture-grade cabinets with a one-off electronic crossover and one-off eq units for the horns. I bought these from a recording studio that went out of business. Yes, those are original 15 ohm Cha... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @richardbrand Peter Grimes in interesting, but I prefer my singing to be in song, rather than the spoken word. I guess Belshazzar’s Feast is in English, but when that many voices are singing en masse, it can make it very difficult to underst... | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? I’ve found that AI is "lazy" and would rather just pull stuff from the ’net, even if it is incorrect, rather than go back and check the actual source, that is also available on the ’net. And because of this, it gets it wrong and provides the wron... | |
| Attention Horn Owners @unreceivedogma Agreed that the weakest link rules. But the weakest link is the speakers because nothing upstream that is of decent quality and functioning properly will "color" the sound as much. | |
| Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ? Nice and clear. A bit boxy and the peaks in the highs would have to go, at least for me. Seems to be adding a bit of sibilance. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries I love it when I get the "concept" through the music and it adds a whole ’nother layer of enjoyment (e.g., Jethro Tull, Passion Play where it runs from the beginning to the end). Maybe if opera was in English... I especially love it when I und... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog Laura Nyro sounds too breathy for me and this can make her difficult to understand on some cuts. Anything in Italian is foreign to me. | |

| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Not my cup of tea. I like to understand the words and it ruins it for me whether they be obscured by a language barrier, or a breathy voice. This is more to my liking. https://youtu.be/ApS2wScgU44 |
