| More proof that music is not just an aural sensation. Well, the neighbors high school daughter called Monday night to ask if I would please turn the music down when I was testing my system out to get the over-under on db levels. Dead quite, with the AC off, 42.1 db. And then the loudest my system wil... | |
| More proof that music is not just an aural sensation. There has been an ongoing discussion regarding subwoofers and tweeters that >go way up< here, and whether they are relevant to reproducing realism. I think this is proof that all energy in the musical reproduction spectrum has an effect on t... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... Actually you’re going to have to replace all of the wiring from the power station to your house because the polarity is off by 13.438°. Sorry. | |
| A full range speaker? @mijostynI agree. 40 Hz seems like a reasonable number for bass. And subs will always be needed to dig into the 20's. There are speakers that can go into the 20’s, but they are few and far between; and always rather large.In a perfect world we wou... | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? @myjostinYep multiples of 10” are the quickest bass that can be had from a standard driver, but with servo control you can go larger.To the quibblers here, I dare you to reproduce this song as it was performed at the 2002, I think, Bastille day ce... | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? Oh, and PS. No square corners in the build. And of course the room correction software of your choice!Mine will have a Mercedes Gull Wing style door to enter. 😁This is the fun part of being a retired product designer. 😉 | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? What @myjostin said, and…What you get in a car is called "Cabin Gain"; large drivers in a confined space. You can solve this in a house by adding a lot of large drivers, most musicians playing bass prefer 4 or more 10” drivers right now for a mode... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tonight was King Crimson, The Court of the Crimson KingELP Anthology Disc two. | |
| A full range speaker? Very nice. I like Seas drivers as well, but also Eton Symphony’s, and Scan Speak Revelators. | |
| A full range speaker? A new pair of what I consider to be "Full Range" speakers is now in my system.Zu Omen Def MKII's. Down to 38 hz in my room, and 30 hz 3db down. This puts me on the cusp of not needing a sub, and whether I will bother with one remains to be seen, o... | |
| A full range speaker? @mozartfan,Frankly I think a line array of the David Lewis' is all you would need. When you have one speaker that is that accurate and lushly pleasant sounding it is only a matter of having enough of them to fill in the bottom end.Surface area wis... | |
| A full range speaker? @mortzartfanHow many W18's?Active or passive XO? | |
| $2000.00 to spend on new speakers. Glad you found what you were looking for. My two picks would have been the KH's or the KEF R3.https://youtu.be/5esoOMgzfUo | |
| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? 1.7i's sound like they have a head cold because of where the inductor is placed in the crossover. If you don't want to mess with the insides, the easy solution is to buy a Shiit Loki or Lokius and bump the frequency you are not hearing properly. I... | |
| Maggies with a subwoofer system - optimization? @avitacomI have installed biamp hookups on my 1.7i's as the bass panel is run full range on them with direct wiring to the positive and negative terminals.But none of the other things you mentioned. Feeding the midrange/tweeter combo, I have heard... |
