| Best bargain integrated amp? FWIW, you might check out the Melody SP3 from av123. I believe it's in your price range, especially if you partner with someone who wants their little monitors in the package deal they have.I haven't heard one, btw, but it looks well built. It is ... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? >what I should have said is, if there are any active patents on first orders, (the subject here) they are not being inforced, due to the issues you chose not to read.You're still confused. First, I was never talking about patents on first order... | |
| Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc? What I think is going on is that my tower records charges $20 for this new release, and there's only 12 audio tracks. DualDisc means no choice - you get the video portion, and pay seven dollars more. It's gouging by another name.I only hope colleg... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? >I said there are no patent holders on First Order CrossoversThis is not what you said. What you said is right in the thread, and I quoted it. Go read it again. At any rate, your incorrect claim doesn't apply anyway, since the Kaminsky crossove... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? I'm unsure if we have trolls in this thread. Lrsky used to work for Thiel, goes through an attack on first order crossovers, then says he likes Fried speakers, which are first order. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, along with his rank ignora... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? > There is no 'patent holder' per se on cross oversPlease forward your remarks to Richard Modafferi _and_ Roy Kimber, and let me know what you find. OTOH, I don't know if Kaminsky is still alive, or if that site is a licensee of his, or what. (... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Thank you. Those crossovers interest me, but it seems the patent holder (?) has a kind of underdeveloped speaker site and seems to charge a lot for the speakers, which, of course, I've never heard. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons >But anyway, what I understand as phase coherent means that the entire output is in phase ideally independent of listening position. The only speakers capable of this are full-range, single driver designs.Since that last sentence is not true in... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? After this and other long, fact filled threads on the topic, we still don't know that Fried did not and doesn't make time aligned speakers.He believed in first order series crossovers.On that topic if Roy Johnson happens to read this: What about t... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons It seems Roy is correct, as usual.But I do want to chime in on one point: There are companies which design and advertise phase coherent speakers without making claims of time alignment, such as VMPS or Fried. There is nothing wrong with doing this... | |
| Arcam Solo Any thoughts The Solo is the tuner, CD, amp and pre for about 1500, isn't it? Even if it's not great audio, I think it would be difficult to do better for the money as people are claiming. Unless they'd like to make suggestions.Now, saying you can go to audiog... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons >The lobing is actually due to having 2 spaced sources of the same signal at the same frequency. It isn't really caused by the crossover, but by the drivers. (Just being pedantic here.)This is news to me, as stated. Of course, any two or more d... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? I don't believe you can demonstrate that having a time and phase coherent speaker is more important than having a just a phase coherent speaker. The problem in being definitive is not merely that it's largely a matter of preference - which it is, ... | |
| Will a Music Hall Maven drive Totem Man-2's? Even if the Maven can drive the isobaric Totems, it still wouldn't represent good system matching, imo. I think this is alluded to in the previous post steering you towards other options, although there the emphasis is on the Maven not being able ... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Well, the good news is that anyone opening this thread for the first time will be likely to read the first post - the review. People quickly let their eyes skim over things that don't interest them, so I don't see a problem with this long thread.I... |
