| Speaker priority: high or low??? What speakers can and do "add to the music that was not retrieved from the source or translated to the speakers", is the problem. Furthermore they can also subtract from "the music that was not retireved from the source or translated to the speake... | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? There may be more than one way to skin a cat. John Bau's classic Spica TC-50 claimed time and phase coherence via this arrangement: slanted baffle with cossover: high-pass slope, approximately first-order, 6 dB/octave; low pass slope, fourth-order... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Many live events are heard via tubes. Perhaps that's why many feel that tubes sound more "life like". | |
| What music is not derivative? A lot of good posts here, especially Ben Campbell's. May I submit Ornette Coleman and John Cage. | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? Nrchy, besides having to have compatability with associated cables and electronics, speakers have the distinction of having to have compatability with the room. | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Karls, I believe that John Bau of Spica designed time coherent speakers with other than 1st order cross-overs. | |
| Why low sensitivity speakers? Karls, I'm no expert and you seem to have a much better understanding of these things than I do. However, it would appear to me that horns don't see more air in fact I would think they see less air. I'm guessing that the horn compresses the moving... | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? Tweekerman, brings up good point. If a piece is put up for sale with "o b o" then a negotiable sale is implied. | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Some of the Audio Physics and Lowthar(?) designs might qualify. | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? While I have heard speakers that I enjoyed that weren't Time coherent I am consistently attracted to speakers that are. To my ears it is important. Dunlavy, Meadowlark, Quad, Spica, Thiel and Vandersteen are. I'm not sure but I think that the ESL ... | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? I believe the room, speakers, amps, etc. direction of priorities is the way to go. I feel that the room and speakers need to work as one. In as much as you may like the sound of a speaker at a dealers, they may sound awful in another room. It's al... | |
| Why Sony watts aren't as good as _____ watts I'm waiting for the tube crowd to jump all over this one. | |
| The Absolute Sound delivery issues Budrew, it was even more frustrating before sites like this were here. I used to open to the back first to glance at the "For Sale" listings. Sometimes subscibers were beat to the punch by months! | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Muralman1, in my limited experience the Sonic Frontiers Line 3 pre amps have the best bench specs I've ever seen on a tube pre amp. If the Sonic Frontiers pre amp sounds solid state perhaps the statement "TUBES Do It -- Transistors Don't." applies... | |
| What are the perils of shipping worldwide? If there is a dispute, legal matters can become complicated. |
