| Are first order crossovers best? Blindjim, with all due respect You might be a bit off base with some though certainly not all of your assumptions. Many of these issues can and have been argued here ad nasuem. While I admire your approach, perhaps it might be best to just use you... | |
| Are first order crossovers best? Gmood1, While I'm not sure that Thiel uses a Zoebel, I think that he does. What I'm suggesting goes beyond that though. Thiel loads the cross overs so that they present a fairly constant impedance. | |
| Are first order crossovers best? I don't think many speaker designers would use the same drivers for a 1st order cross-over as they would for a 4th order cross-over. The very reason for using a 4th order would probably be to avoid that much over lap and to maximize particular dri... | |
| Are first order crossovers best? Gmood1, you'r absolutely correct. The crossover is only 1 design aspect necessary to maintain correct phase in a multi-driver speaker. It is how ever a pre-requiste. My narrow answer was in response to Blindjim's question as to how it may effect c... | |
| Are first order crossovers best? I'm only guessing here. Perhaps because some cables purport to maintain absolute phase better than others. Only single driver and 1st order cross-over speakers maintain absolute phase. Of course the skeptic might say that sellers feel the need to ... | |
| Robertson Audio 20/20 preamp Did you try a search in Singapore? | |
| Magnepan vs. Martin Logan Duke, nailed it. The only ML's I really liked were the CLS/Z'. Ultimatley for me too many issues to commit to. All in all I think the Maggies are for lack of a better expression, friendlier. | |
| Has anyone ever stacked Martin Logan CLS panels I don't have any actual experience with this, but, I wonder if there might be greater benefits by putting one behind the other back to back? | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 3 preamp issue It's probably the switch, but, your description of the sound, sounds like a fuse. | |
| Blown Threshold S/300 Stasis II Hi David, Sorry to hear of your dilemna. Did you check the fuse(s)? Is the Dyna ST-70 a tube unit? If so, maybe there was some DC leakage. I don't know first hand, but, I've heard that the Thresholds can be sensitive about that sort of thing. Best... | |
| Subwoofer : Front Or Down Firing For Musicality ? Downfiring subs can really fire up your downstairs neighbors. | |
| Is it bad to stack your equipment Bgrazman is right. Stacking can negate the very purpose of clean/dirty boxes. Also consider that the likely hood of scratching componenets or leaving traces of rubber footings increases dramaticly. This can devalue your equipment for resale. Those... | |
| Meadowlark K2s I think it all depends. If the floor boards are solid, the spikes may help. If the floor boards are not, the spikes may hurt. | |
| High Definition Dvd? Both formats have been delayed. The last I heard was early '06 for release. Video monitors/projectors that can accept these signals are still rare. To the best of my knowledge both should be backwards compatible for DVD playback. As for SACD and D... | |
| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? I haven't actually heard them, perhaps that's a demonstration of how "undiscovered" they are, but, I suspect the "Huff" loudspeakers with their German Physiks sourced DDD drivers and their dual cone sealed cylinder boxed sub-woofers might be somet... |
