| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Duke, we have all read that bass is omni-directional, and yet very often it's very easy hear where the sub-woofer is (perhaps it's because the overtones appear to come elsewhere?). Despite the theories, some of us clearly prefer the sound of seale... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Duke, as you say "...but sealed boxes sound just plain have more natural-sounding bass than vented boxes!" Now I'm guessing (and really ALL this is just guessing on my part,) this is because after the bass driver emits, the vent lags after driver,... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Wesixas, we may be splitting hairs here, but, I agree even more with your criterion. Of course the impedance will have to be figured in as well. | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Duke, some of us are not so enamored with the sound of most loudspeakers with ported bass. | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Atmasphere, 50 Watts is not very high, but, if they are indeed 109 dB watt/1 meter your point is well taken. That is, if that's the free standing sensitivity. | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Tim, I suppose that's about as good an answer as I could reasonably expect. | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Where is mid-eff then? | |
| Grilles or No Grilles IMHO, Kr4 and Shadorne got it right. IME, speakers usually sound better without grills, either because of vibrations or frame diffraction, but I have heard exceptions. For example the Thiel C2's grill was in essence an extension of the baffle, con... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems JohnK, I don't know of an absolute criterion for "hi eff". FWIW, IMHO, 94 dB is starting to get into the fold. | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Dan ed, perhaps I'm mistaken, but I was under the impression that field coil drivers usually have power limitations. I would guess that could be a problem with bass drivers. | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? Mais61, If your looking for a pair of mono amps with XLR inputs to adequately drive your 3.6's on a tight budget, you might want to keep your eyes open here for a pair of used B&K M200's. Caveat; not all B&K M200's came with balanced input... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems I just reread this thread, and I don't see any "horn bashing" posted anywhere.As far as the "free lunch", well, it's been my experience that one usually gets what one pays for. Even the example that Atmasphere offers, is far from free. | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems For those that might not know, JohnK is a manufacturer of horn loudspeakers. | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? Masi61, I don't think the Monarchy SM70 is up to properly driving the 3.6's. | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? Ckoffend, regretfully Jim is no longer with us. Shari left the firm a few years ago. |
