bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex??
Sure Stehno, I'll tell you what I can about my trials and tribulations regarding that topic. I have built quite a few different speakers in my day, and the designs varied based on my knowledge at the time I made them. Good low bass isn't hard to g... 
bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex??
Stehno, great observation! I came to that conclusion years ago - about not having to spend a bundle, just spend enough in the right places. I have found that all systems have their limitations and that getting perfect 20Hz bass is one of the most ...

Two responses for Onhwy61. It is true, the Quad 63 has alot of wire that effectively is part of the transducer. Sort of like the dynamic speakers have lots of wire in the voice coil. These are simply a part of the transducer design that one picks.... 
Great sound at high volume
If your hearing isn't already damaged, it probably will be if you keep on this course. This said, just go out to the local musician's store and buy a big honkin' 1000 watt sound reinforcement amp and some giant horn loaded concert speakers. Better... 
Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction???
Sean, in the above when i said impedance I meant to say inductance. 
Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction???
Sean, thanx, but what I was really wanting to know was at what distance, of separation of the wires, eliminates inductance and capacitance effects entirely? And if the shield is not used to carry signal, but only drains, does any impedance effect ...

What is the purpose of
Sean, I agree that in some systems, bass control could suffer to a degree with small wire. I use a very low power amp and very light quick drivers so it is not a problem for me. Simply a matter of current needs and delivery capability. Goertz is a...

Thank you Albert. By the way, I checked out the Millenium 1 on the web. They look very nice and the TAS review was very interesting, however I couln't afford them and my amp wouldn't drive them. I can't help feeling that, for my needs, I saved the... 
bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex??
How about eliminating the powerline problem totally, including grunge from the street pole? I have a totally solar powered house with no hookup to the street at all. I use a large battery bank and a quality full sine wave inverter. I use a dedicat... 
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
Harvey Rosenberg(aka Dr. Gizmo) says that the answer is to find something that she likes - he uses high heel shoes as an example - and buy some for her. She will then focus on her new objet d'amour for awhile. Monitor this time period and log it f... 
Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction???
Sean, please elaborate on your comment of high inductance characteristics for the cable I mentioned. I believe that as inductance increases with proximity, the 1/2 inch minimum separation of conductor to shield should be adequate to reduce inducta... 
What is the purpose of
The primary purpose of large diameter wire, whether it be solid or bundled, is to have a low resistance level and therefore less power loss, especially on long runs.Since amps and spkrs. have short wiring inside, they don't need large wire. Resist... 
How come that when most audiophiles
And, I might add, that since I have no commercial expectations, and have only done these speakers for my own pleasure, I have selflessy divulged virtually all of the design parameters to all on this board so that if anyone is so inclined, they may... 
How come that when most audiophiles
I agree Viridian, that the above mentioned non-linearities should not be minimized. However, driver/cabinet non-linearities are present in all dynamic speaker systems regardless of the number of drivers. So are speaker/room interface problems and ...
