| Why do only US makers focus on time coherency? The new Triangle tweeters were developed as a semi horn design to address this issue in a more conventional cabinet.My Coincident Digital Masters are time coherent, but Israel has gone to more conventional cabinet designs in his recent efforts to ... | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver Just about every good 6.5" midrange out there should lend itself to being crossed over at 2500 - 2700 without issue. Classically, a second order crossover would be used, but there are enough great speakers out there doing this with a first order n... | |
| How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon? Let's just say that it's a good thing that my boss has his own lunatic hobby and spends more time than I do here, or I'd be in big time trouble at work. | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver Eldartford, may I direct you to the comment which Andy2 makes in the heading of this thread? The statement is that "expensive" speakers tend to use smaller midrange drivers. By the way, why don't you feel a 6.5" driver is not a midrange? Anyway, y... | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver I think your opinions are very good, Gregm. I also am particularly enchanted with the sound of the Lowthers, and should have mine mounted in a cabinets I am building within a month or so. The speakers that Audio Note Kondo Japan was running at HE2... | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver I think the issues that Nighthawk and Sean raise are very cogent. Speaker design and building is a craft of tradeoffs. Do you push a driver a bit out of its optimal zone, or introduce an additional driver with the added complexity of dispersion ch... | |
| Rick James - Rest In Peace Calloway, I appreciate the fact that you are honest with your feelings. All too often, many sugar coat their beliefs about a person once they pass on. I don't like that whatsoever. I prefer people to be upfront. Politeness, over all else, is a dan... | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver Eldartford, you are correct in the classic definition of a midrange driver - your frequency range excepted. However, you must allow that a lot of great two way speakers, such as the Merlins, have fabulous midrange, despite "missing a driver" as yo... | |
| Digital filters - Sony SCD 333ES Yes, the digital filters work only with CD. I basically use "No Filter" and "Filter 2", the latter giving kind of an LP feel to the sound. It's a nice feature on a very interesting, competent, and underrated player. | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver Good discourse in this thread!My Coincidents are a GREAT speaker, using an 8" Seas P21 Excel, with a 1.25" ScanSpeak Revelator. The midwoofer's phase plug helps extend the driver's upper frequency performance and address the point Ernie brings up ... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Touche' Eldartford. The only audio "truth"!!!Interesting points you make, Nzera. Based on your insightful post, I will dedicate more listening time to the way you set your Granites and see if it is for me. Thank you! | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver The generalization of expensive speakers using smaller midrange drivers is not at all true, Andy2. Look at Coincident, Dynaudio, JMlabs, Merlin, Wilson, and a whole raft of others using 6" - 8" midrange drivers. Speaker designs are as disparate as... | |
| What do guys think of the Hyperion HPS-938? Yes, I was also there with Slipknot1 and Mechans. The Hyperion room was the first we visited, and it spoiled us for the rest of the day. These speakers were THE biggest surprise of the day, and outclassed a lot of more (MUCH more) expensive compet... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 OK, it looks like we have finally are reaching middle ground! I am glad we agree on "any" and "high" feedback, which is why I was quite careful in wording it that way.I still am of the belief that low and no feedback tube power amplifiers sound be... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Congratulations on the Merlins, Swampwalker! They are a truly wonderful speaker. I wish you many, many years of happiness with them. Yes, Bobby is usually lurking in the threads, but it's a good thing.Eldartford, you state, "Maybe the input signal... |
