| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? @mijostyn ”The amplitude response of a speaker is a moving target. It will change depending on the room. There are also other factors that play a significant role in audio fidelity like phase behavior and group delays. I do not pay attention to ... | |
| Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4 "I will always disagree with using the main subs without a high pass filter as being universally better, especially with smaller mains." That may be true for small speakers. I guess my giant mains with aforementioned 18" and 15" bass drivers don’... | |
| 300b lovers @lynn_olson “Ralph, I see you introduced a PP 300B amplifier at one of the recent hifi shows. How do you think it compares to your Class D amplifier, in subjective terms? Since you designed both, you're the best qualified to assess the differ... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs I tried to post a new link but it gets blocked. You have to Google Soundstage SOUTHWEST Texas audio show. Not sure why the link gets blocked, weird. Use atmaspehere 300b prototype in search string. | |
| 300b lovers Did anyone who went to the Texas audio show hear the 300B amps in the Classic Audio Loudspeaker room? They were powering a set of field coil speakers. I believe they were prototypes of Atmasphere 300b amps. https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box @mijostyn "I listen to everything from Nine Inch Nails and The Red Hot Chili Peppers to Cherubini String Quartets. I have eight 12 inch drivers in a 16 X 30 foot room, each one powered by 2500 watts. I am into chest thumping as much as anyone... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box @mijostyn "If subwoofers and main speakers are integrated correctly there is no reason to turn the subs up or down with any genre of music. A system that is tuned correctly does not care what genre you are playing. When I use the term , system I i... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box @gdaddy1 “Using my ears (crazy isn't it?) I concluded that if your main speakers produce good bass down to 50hz why restrict them? Why? Because it sounded better, fuller, more glorious. Plugging ports and making a sealed cabinet restricts cone m... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Sorry to hear about your issues with the MSL. It seems that the MSLs were once the flavor of the day MC. I can certainly attest to the sonic merits of the Soundsmith Hyperion. It is easy to set up (mounted on SME V), has a recommended... | |
| Horns with good timbre and tonality? "Classic Audio’s T 1.5 Reference by a mile. All the others are wishful thinking. SET ready, high impedance, field coils and all." I knew they were the "one" when I first heard them at Capital Audio Fest. I was open minded about my new speakers du... | |
| McIntosh MX121 Test Tones? I have a MX121 but plan on changing to a MX123 soon. My theater is being rebuilt in a new home. I would test the cables. You state that there is a signal; however, have you tested the outputs of the amp powering the center channel? Swap amps and r... | |
| Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity @dogberry Congratulations. The Benz LP and then LPS introduced me to the world of higher end MCs. The sound and tone of the LPS is just beautiful and balanced. On my system, it seemed best playback loading was 47k with an Aesthetix Io also on... | |
| Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity I was and still am an avid fan of the BM cartridges. Going back a few years, myself, along with a few others shared our stories and experiences on this very forum. I believe many are still enjoying them, have moved on, or experienced life matters.... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts We are all going to become Blu-Ray/DVD hoarders the same way we are hoarding records, LOL. | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts I’m guess this might be a market for Kaleidoscope or similar competitors. You can download an uncompressed digital copy to a local hard drive. https://www.kaleidescape.com |
