| Bose makes more than speakers... Hey ONH if we could equate the Bose sound to a car , you would arrive at Vega + Chevet + Gremlin. So why not sneer with a good laugh at the wierd sound "The Thing" makes. Most Bose owners are over 70 and listen to their Lawrance Welk at a soft vol... | |
| Recommended subwoofer list The Perfect Vision My bad, i see my comments are way out of place on this thread. I think this thread belongs in the HT thread site on Audiogon. My apologies SDcampbell | |
| Recommended subwoofer list The Perfect Vision I forgot to add that the Focal 11, 13 15 WX series would be my top pick in subs. And they did not make the list either!??? What is this "most popular" or best bang??? | |
| Recommended subwoofer list The Perfect Vision There are the pros and cons about using subs. I tend to lean in the non-sub sound. I like an intergrated sound which means i'll let the woofer handle the lower hz's. So in a 3 way speaker setup i'll need a good 10 inch woofer that goes to 20hz's. ... | |
| Am I going insane? B&W sound is very simular in Bose sound. Both will continue to be the 2 top selling speakers.????? The public loves big commercial names. I don't care what the name of the speaker is, just make sure it contains superior drivers. Skaaning Seas ... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters Every cone and ribbon tweeter i've seen goes to 25K+ hz's. As far as i'm concerned, there's no issue about any tweeter not hitting the upper reaches of fq's. How musical is a particular driver? That's the issue. But honestly you can ask 10 DIYer's... | |
| What's the best mid-range driver available? Yes i found access to the ATC's. Since we're on the subject of "best" midrange, it's good you brought up the Raven 3. This ribbon is one very interesting speaker. If i chose to go single source driver this would be the one. The R-3 does go down to... | |
| SEAS Thor Speaker / NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited Keith , Very nice post! Is it true the Thor MTM is best with ss amp? What db changes take place in the 2 W17's? Alot less sensitivity correct? Thus ss amps can supply bigger ohm load? | |
| What's the best mid-range driver available? Yes the Skaanings are very nice. The Danish DIYer , Mogens Anderson has a 3 way Skaaning + ATC + Scan-Speak. He had Skaan build a 5 inch with specs of his choice. The only thing he would change is the tweet to a Hiqulaphon. Take a look. http://hom... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters There are 2 theories, one believes in "break in period", i'm in the other camp. Now most every tweeter/ribbon goes at least to 25K. After that i'm not interested. Most important to me are the fq's between say 60hz - 10 or 15K hz. In other words i ... | |
| Down right BEST CDP for the money??? How does the Sony S 9000 compare to the new AA Prima? | |
| SEAS Thor Speaker / NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited Yes i've heard very good about the Hiquphon's. Dave Ellis uses them in his kit Ellis 1801's with a Seas W17. Another experienced builder says the OW1's are his best pick. This Danish DIYer has a Skaaning + ATC + Scan-Speak, very nice speaker! the ... | |
| SEAS Thor Speaker / NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited What i'm trying to say is like you , i believe "less is best" in xovers. So active seems to me to disrupt the clean fq's of your tube amp? Yes you get a louder sound, but active to me implies that your placing the tube amp further from the speaker... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters Bis there are ribbons for $60/pr the Daytons. Then you've got the Raven 3's at $1700/EACH!!! Here is a list of some new tech ribbons. ESg2,3 Raven1,2,3 Philips RT8,RSQ8. I'm not sure which ribbons the Piega's use. Ezmer offers good advice, don't s... | |
| SEAS Thor Speaker / NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited Trelja, It just so happens that Linkwitz picks the Peerless XLS 12 as his best pick for sub. That big curl surround looks superior design. Which tweeter are you using? Linkwitz says the active xover gives your amp a big boost. My 40 watt tube is t... |
