| Looking for the next level in imaging... BTW, the other speakers in the room include the modified JBL L200s (with increased cabinet volume, L300 long horns, slot tweeters, revised crossovers), one-off Big Red Supers (Altec 604E2s/Utah aux woofers) triamped with one-off electronic cro... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... Depending on material, soundstage can be wider and deeper than the room and instruments can be located with accuracy as to their placement. Sometimes stuff even sounds like it's behind you. I use my own creation which include JBL 2241H (18"), JB... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... IME, omnidirectionality hurts pin-point imaging by scattering the "image" around the room. I purposely block the rear of my Heils to improve imaging and others have also reported that this aids their Heil's imaging too. If you are in Orange Coun... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System Qualities of an end game system: - Speakers disappear - The room disappears - The listener disappears, his mind is shut down/gone. - There is nothing left but the perception of falling into an abyss filled with music. - The listener doesn’t k... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama Actually, I think that this whole thing started as a misunderstanding. The speakers were initially reviewed without feet, leaving four small holes in the cabinet bottom and the tester said that he saw an anomoly in the impedience curve. I don’t k... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I designed and built my own A/B/X box with volume matching for testing speakers, but there is no reason that it couldn't be used for testing cables if both sets were connected to the same pair of speakers. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers The Stereophile magazine write-up should have noted that various other options are offered along with the price range. Seems like they do that for lots of the other products they test. The writer compares the originals to the Be but never notes t... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Had you thought about an option of making a Moab with just one central beryllium tweeter (used as the tweeter) with the others making up the "midrange" of regular composition? It seems like you would get most of the real benefits (i.e., high end ... | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? My thought is that for the most coherent vocal presentation, it makes sense to keep the vocals in one speaker rather than spread them across a few drivers. And I never wanted to replace surround foams. The 2251J is a very special ~9.5" driver tha... | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? I cross them over ~3kHz and run the speakers as "2.5-ways." Audyns are Q4s, 400 volts ClarityCaps are filmcaps, 630 volts Resistors are Dale, 1%. Chokes are air core, 14 gauge. Lpads are typically run "flat out" BTW, these can "rock" with ... | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? BTW, this is the SACD on an Oppo95 through a Yamaha RX-Z9 RECEIVER in "Pure Direct" mode. There is no eq or room correction being used, electronic or physical. The room volume is ~5,000 cubic feet. | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? BTW, You can buy the Great Heils directly from ESS and they will typically have ~twice yearly sales of $250/pr including the mounting hardware and rubber gaskets. Best I can tell, my pair came from a pair of AMT1Ds. | |

| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? But they don’t have my mods. Note the flairs. Maybe they will if they see this. Still, it doesn’t show the rear mods which are most significant. BTW, I and another on the JBL Forum, have found that the Heils image better if you block off the rear ... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? May have hit on something yesterday. 😉 Very tired, I was listening to the system, and noted that for a moment I dozed off and when I came back too, the system sounded a bit different..., maybe more articulate. We know that, within reason, louder... |
