| Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers Some full range speakers can sound surprisingly incoherent. Just because there is only one driver insight, you shouldn't assume perfect impulse. I heard one pair at a dealers with tiny a 4 inch driver in a rear hornloaded enclosure and it sounded ... | |
| DIY Nearfield Monitors You can try the coaxials from Seas prestige line available from Madisound. They are used in some very costly designs by a prestigious German time-aligned loudspeaker manufacturer, Ascendo.Hope this is of help.Alexander | |
| Vifa mid-woofer Maybe you can try digging out the specs of the old vifa XT18WH09 and try getting a vifa replacement that best match those specs. I bet it is just a revamp thing. Hope this helpsAlexander | |
| Low Height Speaker with no rear port....help? Beolab 9s from Bang&Olufsen.They are well under 4 feet tall, have boundary switches, and sound very big. Got 5 star recommendations from both What Hifi and Hifi news. The reviewer at Hifi news claims that they have one of the best midranges ev... | |
| Built in DSP = digital equalizer? I don't think there's a rule to how much DSP is needed for cd to sound good. The only problem with DSP is that it might smear the time responses of the digital signals. However, if carefully implemented the effect will be minimized or even reverse... | |
| Built in DSP = digital equalizer? I don't think DSP necessarily mean digital equalization. It simply means digital processing which is used in the Wadias to perform precision upsampling and volume control. DSP is not used in the Wadias to equalize the frequency response but is use... | |
| TAS and the Martin Logan Source Just giving my two cents here, shouldn't electrostatic speakers be mated to open baffle subwoofers to match the bipolar radiation patterns? Why isn't there anybody who is doing it? | |
| Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands Oh I have forgotten to add Wilson Benesch standmounts. Their standmounts can't work without the matching stands provided: the ports exits at the bottom of the loudspeakers. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands Elac 330 CE seems like a good choice. It is in its 4th or 5th incarnation. Happy hunting!Alexander | |
| Minimalist PMC AML:1 based setup - opinions needed Don't go for that Squeezebox solution because it isn't 24bit/96khz compatible. The transporter is superior to the Linn Majik for less money. If you want the best of all worlds, maybe go for an Olive Melody + Belcanto DAC3/ Benchmark DAC1.I own the... | |
| Omni directional speakers www.nacsound.it Beautiful looking handmade ceramic speakers. | |
| Music server interface suggestions Hello Tim.I don't think your options will work for 24bit/96khz audio. Cos first of all the Duet doesn't support that bit rate, I know cos I tried it and I happen to use the DAC3 too. Neither does an airport express if I am not wrong. So the best b... | |
| Meridiaon Go8.2 or Classe CDP-202 The Meridian G8.2 without a doubt. Classe isn't exactly well known for their cutting edge cd playback. Besides always get the latest most advanced cd player out there. A player that has been more a few yrs on the market age considerably. Happy hun... | |
| Challenging Speaker Situation Okay. Don't laugh at me. But when it calls for good homogenous dispersion of sound, B&O loudspeaker lenses come to mind. If money is no object, get the Beolab 5s and maybe perch them up a little. Or just get multiple Beolab3s and mount them on... | |
| ATC scm 19 upgrade ?? Oh sorry powerstudio.Can't help you there. I am using the active 20s so no jumpers involved. Thing is not the technology of the Iceamps that has the problem. It is simply the fact that Class D has not fully matured yet, it outputs high distortion ... |
