| Speakers sound too bright. "Ignore the app. Make sure the amp’s positive (red) terminal is connected to the speaker’s positive terminal and the amp’s negative (black) terminal to the speaker’s negative terminal. On both speakers. If one speaker was connected backwards, the ... | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? I get it about half the time, and I am in the US. But, here's something that is just as weird or may weirder... When I tap the bookmark to come to the site, more times than not, I have to tap it twice as it will not respond to the first tap. ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Here's a thought..., If you design your speakers so that anything can run them, there's going to be a lot of crappy stuff out there running them making them sound crappy and giving them a bad rep, even if undeserved. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. "An amps ability to drive lower impedance loads has no relation to the amps quality." I can’t agree with this. The ability to drive lower impedance loads means that the power supply has to be up to the task. This would include such things as heav... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. ...Or, they could sound better if reducing the impedance also reduces the Q resulting in a more linear response or reducing a peak. | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound I hope people realize that if one wants to build their own, on occasion ESS sells a pair of the Heils with all the mounting hardware and rubber gaskets for $250/pair brand new on their web site. | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound I bought a Melton tube amp with P/P KT88s and do not care for it with the Heils. I much prefer my Yamaha RX-Z9 receiver in "Pure Direct" with them. Older recordings prior to reworking the crossovers, but that has no effect on the highs. A quali... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound You've just got to make your own, like I did, though they don't have the looks you crave. Mine use a JBL 18", a JBL 10", and a Great Heil, modified unlike any other Heil out there. | |
| Any audio clubs near Orange County, CA? Would love to see other systems in the North Tustin area. | |
| Overly sensitive tweeter/midrange Are you sure that you are not just hearing crap in the recording? Certainly plenty of that if you've got the equipment to show it. | |
| Forward Sounding Speaker Crossover Components - Suggestions? ClarityCap SA, 630 volt. | |
| Forward Sounding Speaker Crossover Components - Suggestions? I find the ClarityCaps to be "laid back" so those would not be your first choice. BTW, if one were to actually put themself in the middle of the stage, half of the instruments would be pointing away from you. | |
| A new horn is brewing in the cauldron? https://youtu.be/fXKBu5KbkmM | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? I also favor the ESS AMT, but have made substantial modifications to mine to get them where I like them and to maximize their detail, soundstage, and imaging. | |
| How do you A/B amps in your system? Some tube amps will require "an extra layer of protection" in that the milliseconds that the relay is open during switching can do damage to them. Not shown in my schematic, but added later, each speaker INPUT also has a switch that inserts a ... |
