| Bending wave, low order crossovers and tradeoffs Erik,For some really interesting technology, look beyond the Manger to the MC AudioTech Forty-10 speaker. I heard it at CAF 2018 and it was pretty much my best of show."Hidden in the high-frequency spaced array are 10 identical bending- wave driv... | |
| Acoustic panels on ceiling The mirror technique will work if you can MacGyver a way to hold it and move it. If it were me, I'd start approximately half way between ears and front plane of speakers, and then explore a little fore and aft. | |
| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID Definitely listen to the ProAcs. If you like them, you should then try the D9s, and see which you prefer (it might be a close-run thing). | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. VA speakers tend to be very natural/a little forgiving (choose your epithet). My favs are the Beethoven Baby Grand and the Liszt; I imagine these characteristics extend to most if not all models (not quite so keen on the Beethoven Concert Grands). | |
| Isotek Sigmas or PS Audio P15 They have a new model the Nova that is a larger Sigmas with a Synchro unit built in. | |
| Sony TA AV 670 opinions It is part of the ES series, but as an integrated towards the lower end of that line. The separates are more desirable. Your exact model was listed last year with an asking price of $300. Who knows what it actually sold for. | |
| Isotek Sigmas or PS Audio P15 I've had a Sigmas Evo 3 and PSA P10 side by side. In my system, with the components I had then, the multiwave adjustments on the P10 created various levels of hum on most settings. I bought the Evo 3.Today, if I had it to do over again, with pro... | |
| Bespoke Loudspeaker Company And another light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek thread is torpedoed. | |
| new GAN amplifier https://agdproduction.com/gantube.html If I’m reading this correctly, the best way to make GaN-based amplification to sound more tube-like is to build the components into a tube???BTW, again no rating into 2 ohms. | |
| [Just for fun] Favorite Thread Derailleurs Two very large cardboard boxes on doorstep.That'll derail a happy T-giving every time. | |
| Redbook CD players, vs. Multi-Format players Different horses/courses.Bryston BCD-3 makes the case for red-book only, concentrating on that technology only.But Marantz, Luxman, etc. make SACD machines that sound fabulous.So no definitive answer. | |
| You went from Harbeth P3's to Compact 7's, and... The older Proac Response line was a superb match with low-powered tube amps. Find one in good condition and get a bigger and better sound for less $$. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I've always turned to Karajan for Sibelius 5, but I'm really liking the Simon Rattle version, which I have on a disc paired with 7. A real winner. | |
| [Just for fun] Favorite Thread Derailleurs Some energetic music played on the system will significantly enhance your workout on the stationary bike positioned exactly equidistant from the two speakers. | |
| Everything a crossover has to do ... Please invent a complex crossover with at least twelve different variable control knobs, so that kenjit can experiment to his heart's content with an infinitude of perms and coms of all the different parameters. |
