| beryllium vs diamond never mind - found it"EMIT's are not ribbon speakers. They are planar magnetics. Planar magnetic speakers have a voice coil printed on or attached/glued to a diaphragm. With true ribbons the entire radiating surface is a conductor. The name EMIT m... | |
| beryllium vs diamond I have seen the original EMIT described as a single ended ribbon and the EMIT-R as a radial ribbon or a "leaf tweeter" I have never heard of a "leaf tweeter" and can't say that I know what that is. People who have old stock refer to the EMIT-R ... | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund great post thanks for sharing. | |
| beryllium vs diamond Sloppy on my part. You are right. The EMIT R is a ribbon super tweeter rather than an electrostat. | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @davignau - Think of it this way, if I spend $40K on research, that goes into the cost of the speakers and needs to be recovered increasing the price or increasing the number of units that need to be sold to break even. You correctly pointed ou... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Kosst - I did. That speaker is universally deemed bright and I found it and every other paradigm product I have ever heard to be bright. But, that has been there house sound since the beginning of time. Off topic, but it is amazing how much warmer... | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? System matters but if you are looking for an "accurate" cartridge that will produce an uncolored sound with tons of detail I would look at the Ortofon Cadenza Blue. I have personal experience with it and can say it is a great cartridge for classic... | |
| What is wrong with a sub? My experience is that it is not uncommon that the optimal spot in a room for bass reproduction is different than the optimal spot for mid-range and treble. Inclusion of one or two (depending on the room) subs, integrated properly with optimal pla... | |
| beryllium vs diamond @Audiotroy I have no POV on swapping wires and the impact it can have on sound. My experience is largely with lower end cables in direct swaps with mid-fi systems. The exception is Kimber who I have partnered with. I use their wire inside my s... | |
| beryllium vs diamond This has become a fascinating thread. I keep wanting to unfollow it but something has kept drawing me back and I think that the underlying argument is one of my biggest issues with the current state of audio.We have a speaker (Paradigm) that has ... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @ajnackman Thank you! This is really helpful insight. I am definitely going to produce a competitively priced, higher efficiency, stand-mount. | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @keithtexas Was going through the implications and am not expecting you to buy them. More, do you think with significant deviations in terms of price and material these would still be interesting?i think I need to figure out how to make somethi... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @bigkidz I agree. When I set out to start something I wanted it to be differentiated. Why bother putting out another MDF cabinet speaker using the scanspeak, SEAS or SB drivers. Thus, my composite cabinets made from prefabricated sheets- I am ... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks you for your POV. I am leaning toward a higher efficiency stand-mount that would pair with the Art Audio Carissa (18w SET) which I import and have one in inventory to use for shows. | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @keithtexas Those Trenner and Friedl ISIS are $40K. Holy crap. The only way a pair of speakers that size could be made by hand for less than $6K would be to make it out of MDF and I am not sure I could ever hit $3k with drivers and crossover p... |
