| Alpha Core Goertz As I’ve posted before; there’s no sound reason not to use RC networks (zobels) with the Goertz Alpha-Core speaker cables. | |
| Magnetar ^The later Oppos such as the 205 don’t output DSD from SACD the way the earlier Oppos like the 105 did. As the Magnetar appears to be more like the more recent 205, I doubt the Magnetar can output SACD DSD other than through the analog outputs. Wi... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Erratum : …”containment rolloff,…” would be most typically done with equalization rather than the suggested …”with passive parts.”… | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @elliottbnewcombjr , I had the courtsey of reading the other posts, including yours before jumping in with mine. Experience has led many away from mixing amplifiers as the passive crossovers will still allow bleed from the amplifers into the othe... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @lonemoutain, I think we are seeing the same thing from a different angle. The OP seeemed to suggest that he was considering biamping his speakers that have passive cross-overs already included, not active loudspeakers, as that would probably be m... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @lonemountain, Perhaps you might want to reread my posts.Typical off the shelf active crossovers traditionally have not offered such compensation. The active crossover manufacturers would have had to know in advance what specific speaker parameter... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? ^While active crossovers could certainly have advantages. Where as passive crossovers often have implementations to compensate for specific driver anomalies, impedance smoothing, phase and time considerations. Off the shelf active crossovers are t... | |
| Thiel Owners Love the Amberwood. | |
| Thiel Owners @rc1985 to follow up on what @duramax747 has posted; Jim Thiel sometimes ordered customized variations for his specific applications of what appeared to be off the shelf drivers. Using a stock replacement driver could be different from the origina... | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft A given room will accentuate or diminish the volume of specific bass frequencies, but not extend the depth of bass output limitations. | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft , ..."Very deep bass..." Really? Thiel PCS loudspeaker | Stereophile.com | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Multi-amping could have advantages even if done before the cross-overs, and even more so if each channel has its own power supply. If a speaker has a challenging impedance / phase angle above or below the frequency range of the cross-over the amp... | |
| Thiel Owners While I think -3dB @ 23 Hz might be suspect; the reported 35 Hz is spec’s @ 2.5 dB. | |
| Thiel Owners STRAIGHT WIRE - SPEAKER CABLES: Audio cables, video cables, connectors, HDMI, Home theater cable and from the ex-partner: Wireworld Speaker Cables | High-End Audio Cables (wireworldcable.com) | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, I would characterize “their very obvious differences” as how they appear visually. :-) I believe the Straightwire Maestro’s use individually coated strands layered in side by side groupings that are then woven in an interleaved fashion... |
