| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade Nice work! | |
| Speaker for 11x12 room @OP, the best placement is what you propose - speakers firing down the room towards the wall where you propose to have the piano. You will still benefit from a curtain on the glass door. You will get some reflections off the piano so it it can go ... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade @Jim 2 - No problem. I really do look forward to hearing how you get on with the redesigned crossover. | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade Steady on there OP. John Atkinson measured them in-room and was quite clear about that. I've heard lots of Wilsons of that generation though not Duettes and I'm quite familiar with how Wilsons of that generation were voiced. I've never suggested t... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade @OP - IMHO John Atkinson's account of his measurements give a better description of the frequency response of the speaker. BTW re "With it being a 2-way with 8" woofer, it’s unique", there's nothing particularly unusual in two way speaker designs... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade @OP Your posted measurements are quite different from the in room measurements that John Atkinson took. While he found the speaker peaky in the upper midrange, he measured it as a bit through the upper bass/lower midrange? | |
| Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay To be fair, I doubt english is the OP's first language. But the post is confused as it mainly rambles on about this: "I do belive adopted methods to produce Bespoke ancillaries are capable of producing performance that will be more aligned to anc... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity AOP - you're welcome. | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @OP There is no problem using a 4 ohm speaker with your V12 as long as the speaker is fairly close to it's nominal impedance. But you probably want something in the region 87dB. But if you are sill happy with your 805s, I wouldn't be rushing out t... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @OP what I meant by polarising is that some people love LS50s and other's for some reason don't like them at all. In fact, that may be due to the fact that they are a tough speaker to drive. I went back and had a look at John Atkinson's measuremen... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @OP and Erik_Squires, I just took another look at the LS50 Meta's measurements - it has a couple of tough impedance/phase dips in the bass and low midrange and it's insensitive, so might not be the best choice for the amp in triode mode. However, ... | |
| The Ultimate in Smoke and Mirrors? BUT... @OP What effect/s do you hear and where have you used them? That's a genuine question. I have a number of them that came in some pre owned gear. But I removed them as their adhesive had failed. I discovered they were there when I heard them rattli... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @OP. Just speaking to your opening post. I think it would be well worth you while listening to a pair of P3 XDs. As you will gather from some of my posts on other threads, I'm not overly enamoured of the direction B&W have gone in voicing thei... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @OP. I owned a pair of 805s for a number of years. Very nice loudspeakers and not difficult to drive. The newer 800 series - the floor stand speakers in particular - are a different kettle of fish entirely. | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @erik_squires - not disagreeing, but at least Stereophile and Hi Fi News are trying to be as informative as possible. But what the EPDR measurements of a range of speakers do tell us is that, in general, speakers are harder to drive than most manu... |
